TO MY FELLOW CHRISTIANS: THE FLAG IS AN IDOL!

Flag Or The Cross? ^

[LalahLand]

I am curious to find out why some of my fellow Christians still recite the pledge of allegiance. When you "pledge your allegiance" to an inanimate object you are basically worshipping that object. Am I missing something here? Why do some of us choose to salute and break one of the most important commandments? Shouldn't our pledge of allegiance be to God, and not a piece of cloth? The pledge of allegiance to the flag basically states that we will (blindly) support the flag and the actions of our government without question. That is the very essence of what idolatry is all about! Please check out the attached article.

They need better ammo the next time if they are gonna fool a bunch of Freepers

This is so funny the anti-war protester in La Habra tried to make the same point that we treat the flag as idol

The reply is god rules over all and we love our country because it respects that god rules over all

[mommadooo3]

My daughter won a writing contest in the 6th grade (3 years ago) in Los Angeles county. 1600 kids entered and she won.
The title was "The flag is the symbol of freedom" The flag is a symbol, not an idol. You are a maroon.

I think this thread was started by a bored Admin Moderator on a slow newsday, just to shake up the troops.
