A New York atheist group is threatening to sue over the word "heaven" on a city street honoring firefighters who died during the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Militant aethists are huge haters. If they were confident of their being no God they would not attack every expression of faith or reference to heaven on a public memorial. Instead their only path is to eliminate something they claim does not exist. Oh, the irony.
As an agnostic (leaning towards Atheism, but I can't rule anything out) I cringe at this the same way I do whenever a "liberal" will call the Republicans racist anytime they disagree with Obama...
This atheist group needs to grow up. The concept of "heaven" (Heaven, Elysium, Nirvana, Tian, etc) is seen in most major religions and understood by even areligious persons to inclusively mean "Eternal Peace". Even I, a non-believer, "believes" that if there is such a thing as "heaven", that these seven firefighters deserve to be there.

I'm an atheist and this is just silly. The word "heaven" doesn't necessarily mean anything having to do with Christianity or any religion. "Heaven" is a fantasy/fairytale concept and as an atheist I don't see it as a big deal to use it as a figure of speech.

Nothing ironic about it. It's in the Constitution.
Oh and it's not "every expression" ....in fact we Athiest's welcome your delusions. You have a right to them.
Just not on our dime. Using our government to promote your delusions.

Well in that case I'd like the government to stop spending my tax dollars on bringing peace to the Middle East since that's about the biggest delusion around.

I'm a non-beliver and I have no idea what concept of Heaven you believe in....LOL
