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.

Keeping an Open Mind!

Open your mind too much and your brains fall out.

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.

I started out with those but was afraid it would get too deep. You are braver than I.

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.

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