'Huge Controversy' as Fallen Officers Memorial Covered Up and Taken Down Because It Mentioned GodWhat's next—tearing down the Lincoln Memorial because inscriptions there contain numerous mentions of God?
The memorial stone was erected at the local police station on July 12, but city officials modified it to cover up all mentions of God after offended residents flooded their office with complaints. Now they've completely taken it down. Originally, the back of the marker was inscribed with a Scriptural message where the word "Lord" was used three times. The marker was also engraved with the Bible verse Matthew 5:9. Tega Cay City Manager Charlie Funderburk told CBN News, "The word 'Lord' was completely removed from the marker, along with the Bible verse on the back." "Removal of the religious references were more about trying to find a compromise between the two sides. We tried to find a common ground to stand on, but the intention was never to offend anyone," Funderburk said. The city received a second wave of disapproval from Christian residents who support officers after "Lord" references were deleted from the memorial. "There was polarization on both sides of the discussion. It was in everyone's best interest to remove the marker and place it in storage," Funderburk said. The city is reviewing the feedback they've received and will decide what is in everyone's best interest. "The fate of the monument remains to be seen. We are a community accepting of all people," Funderburk added. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
