Sometimes peoples principles are more important and not about Christianity, if its not on your property mind your own business!

The freedom people claim when arguing for displaying the cross is not freedom of expression. That freedom is specific to public property. The freedom in question is freedom of religion. Both are parts of the First Amendment.
Freedom of religion is guaranteed. Now go ahead and show me where in the bible it says you're required to stick a white cross on your front lawn. You show me where it says you have to do that, and I will respect your right to do that.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
