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.

You, my friend, are an idiot.

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

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.
