Personally, I find it offensive.
I don't want to see anyone's religious item on their front lawn, or anywhere else that is visible when passing the property.
It is not in good taste and at this stage of the game, I see defiance in those who refuse to remove it.
PennBF is correct in that if you want to carry on the work of a missionary, go somewhere else and do it.
Those crosses do not belong in a residential area. Period!

My friend Ruthie is gone now. Breast cancer took her away. She had on her front door a little Jewish sign that someone gave her affectionately, just as I gave her a star of David necklace, me her Catholic friend.. She was a dear friend to me and my next door neighbor and she had her port for chemo and I had mine when we moved in next to each other in Hadley. We shopped for stuff for our homes and ate lunch out and laughed at the same things. Ruthie was not a religious Jewish girl, didn't do the holidays or keep the Sabbath, but she put up her mezzuza and I touched it each time I went in her door.
Religion or lack of it isn't the dividing factor. It is lack of kindness that divides us. I miss you Ruthie. I think I will find a Mezzuza and put it on my door.
