This relates to the story about the atheist group suing to prevent the World Trade Center “cross” from being part of the 9/11 memorial. It goes back a while, but I just stumbled across it.
By the way, just to answer Silverman’s charge against “the god who couldn’t prevent the 9/11 terrorist attack,” my friend Kevin Hargaden addresses theodicy (how God is good in the face of so much evil) rather more bluntly than I have in this oldie-but-goodie about the St. Stephen’s Day Tsunami.
