Re: Remove That Sign
The stupid stuff that people get offended over... If they are Atheists and we tell them to "Go to Hell" will they be equally offended?
Re: Remove That Sign
I will be offended if sign is removed.

I'm an atheist and I say that group of atheists is acting stupidly.

Re: Remove That Sign
This one's a stretch, even for me. They're honoring the memory of their fallen comrades, not promoting God or religion.

Siiiign, siiiign, everywhere a siiiign...
Re: Remove That Sign
I'd say it's a justified complaint if any of the fallen fire-fighters don't believe in heaven. Otherwise, nope!
Re: Remove That Sign
I'd say it's justified only as long as the majority have a complaint.
