Like all currently minted and printed legal tender?

I lol'ed...

Yes, I am against printing religious wording and symbology on state sponsored money. 
Its not exactly high on my outrage meter, though.

There is always one religion or another doing something to another in the name of God.  Has been going on forever and will go on long after we have left this earth.  Doesn't make it right but nothing that we can do to stop it either.

Sure we can. We just need to kill all those Others.

The cross, which consists of two intersecting steel beams that were found intact in the rubble at Ground Zero, was initially constructed on a side of a church in lower Manhattan. The cross was then placed inside the 9/11 Memorial Museum during a ceremony over the weekend.

Not sure who paid for the cross, but this issue is simply about the display of it at the memorial.  I really don't have an issue with that. 

Of course, if the FedGov was a lot smaller and didn't throw money around so much, most of these things would not be federal cases.

The cross wasn't "paid for."  It was standing as a cross in the rubble of the WTC.  It was moved offsite during the rest of the demolition and rebuilding with the understanding that it was going to be returned for a memorial and/or museum.

The memorial is tax exempt, and has recieved millions in public monies.

I still don't have a problem with the display of this cross.
