Controversy Over Crosses on Proposed Villanova Bridge, being paid for by penndot.

5. "If Jesus was hung, would we pray to a rope?" -- Gordon Downie of The Tragically Hip

What if they wanted the design to include an Iron Maiden? Or a blade on a pendulum? Or a Rack? Or a Catherine wheel?

My point is, the cross is a torture device and if Christians want it there, then they want it there to promote their very brutal view of humans (that we all should be tortured forever although their god arranged to get himself tortured and thereby -- somehow -- let us off the hook).

The design, in abstract -- just two intersecting lines -- isn't the problem. The message is the problem.
