Crazy Woman wants to erect giant cross in her back garden.

She should put it in the front garden and when a Jehovah's Witnesses or Muslim walks past it should suddenly light up to the chorus of Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
The principle would surely be the same if she wanted to erect a 24 foot high statue of Father Christmas or the Devil or Horus, if I lived backing onto it /overlooking it I would have an issue within a great big illuminated object in the line sight and the light pollution alone would be pretty ridiculous. I would object to it on those grounds, in principle if she wanted something smaller that did not impinge on my enjoyment of my property however she could knock herself out with all manner of crosses. So to speak.
The religious 'angle' is the one that makes it more likely to appear on the BBC website however - its a polarising factor but its just one getting in the way in this case as, although she might want a cross because she's religious, the grounds on whether she should have it clearly have nothing to do with it.
If it is a faith question well there are probably better ways for her to show her devotion (I don't have any but she is open and free to believe whatever she likes and doesn't appear to be offending anyone with those beliefs) there are lots of excellent charities she could make a donation to and her local church is probably in need of some restoration or the like that the fund money for a cross would make a better contribution to.

yup
Doesn't seem to be particularly Christian of her to inconvenience her neighbors with this giant light up cross thing. Surely a 6ft cross in the garden would do or a small cross on her roof or something if she's really keen to have a cross displayed.
Altarnatively she could invite them in for tea and biscuits.Yeah, she'll be having Nun of them around now.
Sorry
having a mortgage secured on your home doesn't mean the bank owns your home...
would be an amusing response if the crazy woman does decide to go ahead with the giant cross thing regardless

roy seems to be checking his pulse... is this dude on his last legs?
but yea a 24ft illuminated structure would not be welcomed by me, if she wants to build on less than the height of her fence then i guess that may be ok?

It would be like living next door to someone who puts christmas decorations on the outside of their house, but all year round
And that's not crazy, right?
I'd not object if it was Thoth. Anything else is out...
I did hear a story (and I suspect it's a myth) of some school kids who built a massive 30 foot Guy Fawkes, and had it supported by wood, they had it tied on with string so on bonfire night when it was set alight the Guy immediately fell off, leaving a massive 30 foot burning cross, visible for miles around.
