Developer plans 200-foot-tall cross in Missouri
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/11/developer-plans-200-foot-tall-cross-in-missouri/
Public symbols of Christianity are under attack around the nation, but
not in Branson, Mo., where county officials have approved a 200-foot
cross that will rival American icons like the Statue of Liberty and
the Golden Gate Bridge, according to its developer.
Kerry Brown said the “God-given vision” of the Branson Cross came to
his father Dean two decades ago after he bought land atop Bear
Mountain near the intersections of U.S. highways 160 and 65 in
Branson, tourist mecca famous for its country music venues.
“It started as a vision with a 7-foot-tall cross just so people would
have a place to go and meditate with the Lord,” Brown told
FoxNews.com. “As time went on, additional portions of the vision came
to him and ultimately it was to build the largest cross that anyone
has ever seen.”
Brown hopes to have the $5 million project completed by the end of
2013. The cross will feature a 100-foot crossbeam and twin elevators
to the 17-story-tall horizontal bar. The project is being funded by
donations, and though Brown declined to say how much he's taken in, a
website associated with the effort said some $410,000 has been raised
so far. Much of the expense will go to preparing the mountaintop site.

he
is, for example, blocking the view of his neighbors, they could sue to
stop
on that ground.
Otherwise? I don't really care what he does with his own land.

Note this part:
... the Wiccan Pentacle was only added (in 2007) after a lawsuit by
Americans United for the Separation of Church and State...
Another snout smacking for a con-servative.
