Valid point, Mom. Perhaps then, since virtually all religions are in subjection to a kingdom not of this earth, there should be no state or federal banner held up in the church.

I do agree! I got nailed once for commenting on the fact that it does not belong in the house of God that we owe no allegience to anyone but God. But they disagreed

What in the heck is a church or religious flag? ? ?

My personal opinion is that the American flag.. for whatever reason, is top of the pole!
It is just the way it should be.
And if a church wants an American flag to be displayed in their church and the members agree.. then let it be. What difference does it make...I mean really.............

The U S flag was never at the "top" of the pole until the "flag code" of the 1920's and I don't see how the flag code has been an improvement
over State sovereignty and our liberty. I'm fully aware that we've been raised with that junk which is now a 'traditition' and it's about time that we see it for what it is. The same for the Pledge of allegiance - the socialistic recital for us to accept and believe as being patriotic American. Our founding fathers never would have allowed the flag code or pledge of allegiance. Only modern socialist thinkers could create such to mold us more like the socialists that they want us to be.

The churches in this country were better off years ago before falling in line with the world. Most of 'em are now liberal and won't take a stand for much of anything worthwhile.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

" We will take the stars and blue union from heaven, red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing liberty " George Washington

It is to me, quite ignorant, to call the pledge, socialist, or to say that our flag was never at the top of the pole. You, obviously, have no clue what our founding fathers did, or wanted.

I don't know what your agenda is, but it certainly has nothing to do with loyalty to our country. If you could kindly point out what part of this pledge pertains to socialism, ( hardly possible ) , or maybe you will do your usual and just post a link , ( that nobody reads ) to some BS you find in whatever lunatic websites you visit.

To quote a saying quite popular in years past concerning those like you, " Love it , or Leave it "

Well said Bullwinkle, I think a big percentage of the conservative right agrees with you in everyday.

Oldtimer, I have a hard time thinking that you're a conservative or even on the right. Just not there, guy.

Red, I could care less about what you think. You were for the iranians and north Koreans having nuclear weapons, I am not sure what that makes you.
