TO MY FELLOW CHRISTIANS: THE FLAG IS AN IDOL!
Flag Or The Cross? ^
Posted on 03/14/2003 8:03:57 PM PST by 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.
idol SYLLABICATION: i·dol PRONUNCIATION: AUDIO: dl KEY NOUN: 1a. An image used as an object of worship. b. A false god. 2. One that is adored, often blindly or excessively.
idolatry SYLLABICATION: i·dol·a·try PRONUNCIATION: AUDIO: -dl-tr KEY NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. i·dol·a·tries 1. Worship of idols. 2. Blind or excessive devotion to something.

For some reason, during this whole thread, I was reminded of an old Firesign Theatre bit where they were singing, 'Pass the Lord, and praise the ammunition...'

On a Welstone DU thread tonight.....
I got home from school like always I liked to as I still do to check out the scene on DU and then I saw the thing about Wellstone. I was really sad so I called my grandmother up and we talked about the man.

My bible tells me in Colossians 3:5...Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
I could not find a pledge of allegience on that list.

banning your account for this post seems a little ridiculous.
To: Texas_Jarhead
On the contrary. Dusruptors and that's exactly what LLL was, should get banned immediately.

Great post.....
subtlety is so underrated.
To: pacpam
tenents of Jehovah Witnessexactly - we have a winner - I was wondering if anyone would make the connection.
This goof seems to think that respect and honor are the same as worship -
I respect and honor these United States of America by supporting it when challenged
I worship Jesus Christ as my personal savior and redeemer.
Theres a big difference and your comment indicates to me that you are aware of that-
Blessings to all here who recognize that

Sigh..................it's folks like you that give our faith a bad name. Just..........shut............up.
To: LalahLand
Look at the keywords. Probably not so much an idiot as a chemically driven (drug addicted/induced) schizophrenic, (perhaps an early burn out.) This is someone beyond just bad thought process. This is someone with some messed up wiring and/or some synapses are not firing correctly. (Thats a clinical as I can get at 7:00 AM)
Be well.
