Chistian Flag Flown Over National Flag - Pandemonium Doesn't Ensue

I don't make it a habit to click on links associated with Fox news, but I did find this short interview interesting. I can't say I agree with either side of the debate - I'm more of an outside observer - but it is certainly something to ponder, if nothing else.



Thoughts?

I believe God should come before country, but personally I think a flag to represent Christianity is unnecessary. Does one really need to show to the world what their religion is? As I understand it, that's not what being a Christian is about.

Geez, you Americans and your obsession with flags

The Christian guy got a lot of the narrative wrong, such as the "suppression" of Christian faith which only exists if Christianity is put on a pedestal it should never be on in the first place.

Aside from that, well I'm not someone who cares about flags and I'm certainly not a patriot so he can do whatever he wants (even if his reasoning is suspect).

THANK you! LOL I'm American and even I think this is ridiculous. It's totally symbolic and nothing more. It's ink on fabric.

Imagine what it looks like to those of us who come from countries that don't put flags everywhere, don't put the country's name everywhere, and don't have to put "great" in the country's name....

This being said I saw an american argue about upside down flags with a british/english citizen, who found it difficult to explain to the american why having an upside down union or english flag made no difference to her whatsoever.

The Christian flag exists for the same reasons every other flag exists. Or business signs, for that matter.

Christian flag?

The United Kingdom's flag is a combination of the Cross of St. George, the Cross of St. Andrew, and the Cross of St. Patrick.

Just sayin'

Here's my issue with it:

United States Flag Code
Order Code RL30243
4.7

(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the
right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services
conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown
above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person
shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international
flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to or in place
of the flag of the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided,
That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice
heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of
superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal
prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the
headquarters of the United Nations.

What really gets me is when I see a McDonalds flying a golden arches corporate logo flag on a taller flagpole, right in in center between the slightly lower national and state flag poles. I mean it doesn't upset me, but I definitely roll my eyes and shake my head, and yet wonder where the outrage is there.

mcdonalds probably has a greater significance in the lives of many americans than the american flag - the symbolism is apropos in my mind

in fact i would get a snapshot and call it art
