To each his own I suppose.

So essentially, it's a monument to the ego of the person who donated the money. What a terrible way to make a statement about religion...
I think I'd feel different if it were somehow an interesting feat of art or engineering.. but as it stands, it's just a big 'ol expensive cross.
I never felt it was particularly contraversial. What they want to do on their land as long as they don't violate zoning ordinances is their business. I just think it's a bit tacky.
