I’ve never been in a Protestant church with a statue — at least not a fundamental one. As a preacher’s kid, I grew up in Protestant churches so have seen hundreds. Some will have a cross in front (not a crucifix), but others even frown on a simple cross, as it’s “graven”.
As for stained glass, we have pictures but no images of Christ, “saints”, etc.

So now you are equating paintings from St. Catherine’s Cathedral/Monastery, and thus Gen. Flynn’s posting an image, and his use of the “seven rays of light”, with Q’s statement “their symbolism will be their downfall”.
What part of “WWG1WGA” do you not get? What about Gen. Flynn’s statment I posted earlier today? About religious freedom and respect? Condemning everyone whose religious beliefs differ from one’s own is what has led to mass slaughter and wars. Not exactly “unity”. Who else wants us divided by race, religion, and so on?
