Well to be fair there are a number of scriptures that enjoin God's people NOT to mix the worship of the one, true God with pagan worship.

No kidding. But, just what the heck does that have to do with an obelisk?


What’s next?

American flag has 50 satanic pentagrams?

Give me a break.

That particular obelsik was originally from Egypt. From Wikipedia:

"The obelisk symbolized the sun god Ra and during the brief religious reformation of Akhenaten was said to be a petrified ray of the aten, the sundisk. It was also thought that the god existed within the structure."

Pagan symbolism being incorporated into non-Christian objects isn't an issue. It's when it's mixed with the worship of the one, true God that it starts treading into dangerous territory.
