Obelisk.....schmobelisk....it is still a pagan symbol.

Actually it's just a shape. No different than a sphere or a cube. It only takes on meaning when there is an intent to use it as such.

Surely you don't believe the Washington Monument in DC is some sort of pagan worship place, do you?

Or because Buddhists might use candles and incense in their religious practices that somehow Christians that do so at a Church service are worshipping Buddha or following Zen teachings?

Muslims pray with Washington Monument in rear.

Actualy, the candles are a reference to Baal. Especially when y'all waft the smoke and wave your hands throught the flame. Passing throught the fire and sacrificing kids in the fire was a Baal thing.

Just like all idols

Amo 5:26 But you have carried the booth of your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. Isa 46:5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? Isa 46:6 They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.

Isa 46:7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
