Corpus Christi pastor, atheist activist reached settlement over cross lawsuit

By Krista M. Torralva of the Caller-Times

An atheist activist who sued a Corpus Christi pastor agreed to dismiss the suit and admitted it was meritless, according to an order signed Tuesday.

Patrick Greene, of San Antonio, initially filed a lawsuit against Rick Milby, pastor of Abundant Life Fellowship, and several city officials who attended a ground breaking for a 210 foot tall cross at Interstate 37 and Carbon Plant Road. The site is across the highway from the Coastal Bend State Veterans Cemetery.

The agreement includes a pledge from Greene that he would not file baseless lawsuits against Milby or others.

"Greene hereby acknowledges that Greene understands he can freely advocate his own beliefs — but that he must undertake caution when filing litigation that will burden both the individuals that he raises claims against as well as the justice system itself," according to the agreement.

I give Patrick six months before he breaks.
