TO MY FELLOW CHRISTIANS: THE FLAG IS AN IDOL!

Flag Or The Cross? ^

[jbstrick]

You, my friend, are an idiot.

[LalahLand]

Please explain how I'm an idiot. Is it because I choose to think outside the box?

[RabidBartender]

Do they have Zots out in LalahLand?

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Your name says it all!

Were you looking for a Dixie Chicks thread?

Buh Bye

[what's up]

You are hopefully pledging allegiance to the idea of freedom; America is the bastion of freedom on earth. Nothing wrong with pledging yourself to that concept. In fact, it is godly.

You're not worshipping the piece of cloth.

When you "pledge your allegiance" to an inanimate object you are basically worshipping that object.

Putting on my chest waders.

[MEG33]

Should we sick the rabid bartender on this one?

[MEG33]

Hip Boots for me!

[arjay]

As a Christian I can easily pledge allegiance to the flag without seeing it or our country as a god. I fully recognize that my first allegiance is to the living God, but I can give my allegiance to my country in a secondary sense.

I believe you are making a legalistic ruling and making up your own definition of idolatry.

In case you haven't noticed FreeRepublic is not www.Jehovah Witnesses.com

Keeping an Open Mind!

Open your mind too much and your brains fall out.

[MEG33]

Go for it.

[kayak]

ROFL!!!

[Post Toasties]

You need to become more familiar with the distinct and separate concepts of pledging allegiance and worship. For one thing, the pledge has no religious significance in and of itself, so the error is in your own understanding if you believe it does.

[Paul Atreides]

Just drop a fat Dixie Chick on him and put him out of his misery.

I hope my friend you are wearing your Asbestos suit. This thread will no doubt be pulled by the moderator soon.

Are you sure you aren't interpreting all this according to tenents of Jehovah Witness? They already stand quietly with the pledge is being said. You don't need to change everyone's religion, just join if them that is what you believe.

[TLBSHOW]

They could send this thread to the religion room!

By your own (made up) standard, I suppose you'd say the cross is an idol, too.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Allegiance is what we pledge.

Allegiance: "Loyalty or the obligation of loyalty, as to a nation, sovereign, or cause."

Allegiance is not a form of worship. Go bark up some other tree.

[Theophilus]

"Christian" come on! Are you a jehova's witless?

[Brett66]

[Senator Pardek]

Don't play dumb. You're not as good at it as I am.

[RabidBartender]

Beware the Ides of March...

[Poohbah]

You joined today just to post this silliness?

[Admin Moderator]

Just make sure if you do that, you post a breaking news thread about it (because the Dixie Chicks are important), and then check in on the official Dixie Chicks thread so we can track it. Thanks, AM

[go star go]

It must be horrible to be you...

[Interesting Times]

It's times like these when I really miss the classic Viking Kittens marauding to the "Immigrant Song."
