Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
A virulent anti-Christian organization is targeting a veteran’s memorial at an Indiana park because it contains a 14-inch tall cross.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has sent a letter to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources demanding the removal of the cross from the 8-foot-tall statue located in Whitewater Memorial State Park.
“No secular purpose, no matter how sincere, will detract from the overall message that the Latin cross stands for Christianity and the overall display promotes Christianity,” attorney Rebecca Markert wrote on behalf of the anti-Christian group. “[The cross means] the government only cares about the deaths of Christian soldiers.”
The cross is part of a wooden chainsaw-carved statue that reads “all gave some; some gave all.”
A man who is an Army veteran initially complained about the cross being a part of the tribute.
“I just thought that a memorial to veterans in a veterans’ park didn’t need to be turned into a religious shrine,” Wendell Bias told a local newspaper, despite the fact no worship services have been held at the site.
