Creating a Christian flag for God and country

[maxrandb]

Sometimes, news article require no comment. You simply post it and let it speak for it's rather scary self.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-md.flag12jun12,1,938178.story?ctrack=2&cset=true

COLORA - Marcia Thompson Eldreth sees in the United States a Christian nation, inspired by Scripture and dedicated to propositions conveyed in biblical prophesy. She asks: Why not a U.S. national Christian flag? "Our nation was based on Judeo-Christian principles," Eldreth said. "Blessed is the country whose God is Lord."

Phones were ringing steadily on six lines, Eldreth said, when a thunderstorm rolled in over the house. "I turned on the prayer and worship music because it started to feel like a spiritual attack," Eldreth said. She recalled stepping to the front door in time to see lightning strike a utility pole across the road: "I saw a ball of blue fire come off that telephone pole." The bolt knocked out the phones until the next morning. Eldreth understood it as a sign.

"I took it as spiritual warfare," Eldreth said. "I grinned when the fire come off the pole." She said she thought, "Thanks for the affirmation, Satan."

In her rendition, the eagle soars in a sky-blue field encircled by a band of red, representing the blood of Christ, encircled by another band of blue representing Christ's bruises. Flying on a ribbon in the eagle's beak is a quote from Matthew 24: "Take heed that no man deceive you." A blue border tracing the rectangle of the flag is salted with 50 stars, representing, Eldreth said, "American Christians in each of the 50 states."

[havocmom]

1. And when we dare suggest policy changes to improve America

we are told "Love it or leave it".

[maxrandb]

2. Forgot to Add this Little Tidbit

Eldreth figures this year's show will again inspire a rush of orders for the flag, which shows an American bald eagle in flight, holding in its beak a quote from the New Testament, in its talons a bloody crucifix.

[primavera]

11. For accuracy's sake...

... shouldn't such a flag depict the mangled, bloody remains of an Iraqi child amidst the ruins of her Tomahawked home? I'd support a flag like that, as it would faithfully reflect our Christian "values."

ed. spelling

[MountainLaurel]

66. Now, now

You know that no KKKristian flag could ever have a brown-skinned heathen on it! Even if they were dripping with blood to represent KKKristianity's triumph over the godless infidels.

:sarcasm:

[meppie-meppie not]

124. LOL...you guys are great! :-)

[MountainLaurel]

128. We get a lot of practice

He's my betrothed, and we live together.

[meppie-meppie not]

131. oh how very cool and well suited!! :-)

[NeoConsSuck]

137. Nice One!!

and so TRUE!

[converted_democrat]

146. Damn straight! You are spot on!!!

[teach1st]

3. A sign...

Phones were ringing steadily on six lines, Eldreth said, when a thunderstorm rolled in over the house.

"I turned on the prayer and worship music because it started to feel like a spiritual attack," Eldreth said. She recalled stepping to the front door in time to see lightning strike a utility pole across the road: "I saw a ball of blue fire come off that telephone pole."

The bolt knocked out the phones until the next morning. Eldreth understood it as a sign.

"I took it as spiritual warfare," Eldreth said. "I grinned when the fire come off the pole." She said she thought, "Thanks for the affirmation, Satan."

Can she be so sure it was Satan?

[havocmom]

8. So damned sure of herself, it never occured the message was something

altogether different. A very sick person.

[saskatoon]

116. a very sick person and/or a Dingbat

[Thor_MN]

130. She missed that the message was "Get some electro-convulsive therapy"

Might help her a bit with the delusions....

[Bozita]

10. couldn't be the Lord showing disapproval of faux-patriotism

That would be too damned obvious.

[hyphenate]

Jingoism of the absolute highest order

is not only disgusting, but is HIGHLY offensive.

17. Jingoism of the absolute highest order

[cyberpj]

34. And I didn't think it could get any worse

than the damn magnetic car ribbons.

[RPM]

62. sweet - where can i get that US Jingoism magnet...

Here's another favorite of mine:

[Q3JR4]

97. I like this one,

13. God. Is. Pissed

buy you'd never know it talking to these morans...:eyes:

[katty]

95. the misery of collective INSANITY embraces the bullypulpit

[RaleighNCDUer]

26. Satan is subtle and deceitful.

Somebody else uses bolts of lightning.

[SOS]

44. Satan is also very busy

Lightning strikes the earth's surface about 100 times per second.
www.nationalgeographic.com/lightning/

[katty]

96. Satan is having a field day in the WH - finally, the perfect vessal

[Kelvin Mace]

59. No, it wasn't Satan.

If Satan existed (and he doesn't) he would completely approve of the very mockery she is making of the competition. She is elevating symbols above God. It is called "idolatry".

[reprobate]

71. I am not deceitful. Just honost. Humans are deceitful.---Satan

[RaleighNCDUer]

87. OK.

OK, that one made me laugh.

[Terran]

30. She's a damn liar

I bet you a month's salary she saw no goddam blue ball of fire. These people love to cook up all kinds of bs in these situations, like the young lady who survived the tonado that destroyed her church and afterward said she saw demons in the air.

[jokerman93]

50. In my misguided youth

I was in a new agey cult that talked exactly this way about spiritual warfare and spiritual attacks. She's talking from a cult mindset here. New age occult bullshit for the brain-dead.

This christo-fascist thing is a cult, and I fear it's become pretty pervasive in this country under Bush.

Let the eagle soar...my ass.

[reprobate]

73. WHo said: the difference between a cult and a religon is the size....

... of the congregation?

[RaleighNCDUer]

88. Well, I've said it,

but somehow I don't think you're thinking of me.

[FlaGranny]

70. Well, if she saw lightning

hit a pole, she probably did see a blue ball of fire. I saw the same thing once, but I didn't attribute it to God or the Devil. There was a nasty summer thunderstorm in progress.

[merwin]

31. Does she not understand that lightning comes from the heavens?

[Ravy]

47. I think God sent her a warning. If Satan wanted to stop her, he

would have fried her on the spot.

[Lilith Velkor]

107. It's probably his idea in the first place.

Making Christianity look evil is his job or something, innit?

[Frederik]

52. I think it's funny how these people

take everything as a "sign". Usually a personal sign to themselves from God or Satan - the world revolves around them, of course.

[icymist]

106. While she tries to lead a nation away,

Marcia Thompson Eldreth dares God as she quotes Matthew 24: "Take heed that no man deceive you." No, Marcia. That was not spiritual warfare from Satan.

[Art_from_Ark]

148. Sounds more like a message from St.Elmo

He's known to have a little fun during storms

27. You're saying that ALL religion is mental illness?

Just wondering. If that's what you're saying, then that's very judgemental and no better than those you are putting down.

BTW, I am much "better than them." Believing you unambiguously know god's rules for living is delusional, legislating them on everyone else is criminal.

:)

[ixion]

38. legislating them on everyone else is criminal.

here here on that. I agree completely. :applause:

[MadisonProgressive]

80. Just one step above believing in a big white rabbit named Harvey

[lastliberalintexas]

114. Hey now! Don't go bashing Harvey!

[saskatoon]

118. Just one step above believing in a big white rabbit named Harvey

Hey hang on there. I loved Harvey. Now as to that Weirdo re her revelation--------I don't know what reasoning would get to that dingbat. If she wasn't influencing other weak minded people one could say she is more to be pitied than censored but then again when i get so angry at dumbbells like her I would like to slap her up the side of the head.

[MadisonProgressive]

136. You are right and I'm sorry - please forgive me.

Harvey was 'da man'!!

:crazy:

[Triana]

5. One word:

TALIBAN

6. I thought it was founded mainly by Deists..?

18. It WAS

but you don't know it from listening to these freaks.

53. Those were more enlightened times

That's why it's called the "Enlightening".

[NWHarkness]

7. But Howard Dean is the hater.

[jedr]

9. It will be the perfect touch for the crusades!

[truthisfreedom]

12. and we need a DU flag. calling all graphic designers!

let's see your suggestions!

[maxrandb]

14. I Loved This Part

Eldreth would have her customers fly the national Christian flag alongside or below the Star and Stripes

I wonder how God feels about being subservient to the Stars and Stripes?

:rofl:

[gratuitous]

29. Spot on: It's "God and Country," not vice versa

Surprising how many self-identified Christians, given a 50-50 chance, always get the order wrong, isn't it?

[RedCloud]

49. America bless God!

That seems like an appropriate bumper sticker rebuttal.

[lisby]

55. I suspect

the Godhead feels something like this:

:puke:

I wonder what God puke looks like? The Milkyway?



Lisby

[4_Legs_Good]

67. Awesome!!!

The Milky Way...

I love it! :) :) :)

15. What an assinine looneytoons

And THIS kind of person is what is trying to takeover our country? Mother of mercy, Tom Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin and George Washington must not only be rolling over in their graves, but trying to find a way to return the country to England.

[maxrandb]

21. Your Line About the Founders

made me think of a humerous statement from one of the Brittish ships taking part in Fleet Week in New York one year when I was on USS IOWA (BB-61).

As they passed us, the British CO got on the 1MC (that's the PA system) and said; "America, I have a message from the Queen. All is forgiven, we are ready to welcome you back to the British empire"

[matcom]

16. FOUND A PIC

i think this is it :eyes:

[Bozita]

20. ahem ... isn't that purple ring showing approval for gayness?

same color as Barney

and Tinky-Winky

[northzax]

28. god, how busy

the best flags are simple (the SSB is acceptable, but a little complex, hence the reason you always see it abbreviated in images and cartoons) look at le Tricolour, or the Rising Sun, Maple Leaf, Swiss Cross, simple and clean, insignia are for battle flags.

[Jack Rabbit]

32. The citation

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
--Matthew 24:4 (King James Version)

I wonder if the irony is lost on the Christian rightists.

[holboz]

46. My thought exactly...

"Take heed that no man decieve you" - I'm confused about that one. So is she a Dubya supporter or not? Sounds like Jesus is warning them against people like *

[RedCloud]

51. Maybe we need a different citation?

And the Lord spoketh,"Let only the Burning Bushes rule my oil empire. Woe unto he who shall looketh for weapons of mass destruction, for he is deceived by words of mass deception!"

132. Detroit shut someone out? Must have been in the old days....

[montana_hazeleyes]

145. LOL

:rofl:

[Sin]

72. She really need to change the verse

To matthew 10:34 "Think not that i come to send peace on earth:I came not to send peace,but a sword.

That sounds about right for what shes looking for.

[Judi Lynn]

39. That's the ugliest design I've ever seen anywhere. God, it's awful.

I think she'd better get down on those cellulite-laden knees and beg God to help her focus on saner ways to spend her time.



Marcia Thompson Eldreth says she was divinely inspired. She
recalls praying, "This is your flag, Lord, what do you want on it?"

Maybe Pat Robertson could help her sort things out. http://photos1.blogger.com/img/162/1473/320/Robertson,%20Pat.jpg

[progressivebydesign]

61. She is completely mental. n/t

[ElectroPrincess]

69. One word of advice for her: Thorazine (and lots of it) /eom

[FlaGranny]

74. Yech, she has those

"haunted" fanatical eyes.

[jimshoes]

79. What if it turns out

that God likes Portugal or Belgium better than the USA? What makes us so special?

[BadNews]

144. They could be Annexed by the US then they would be chosen.

Sarcasm

[RPM]

63. sweet - i think i'll burn some of those

fun fun fun

[cascadiance]

86. How long before Kristian Kongress passes a law banning

burning these flags! Until that happens though, I was thinking the same way you are. Should be good and open season on doing them now. If only we can come up with some "long burning" flags that we can make cheaply to do this and not reward her by buying them from her site!

[alfredo]

83. I sent an image of that flag and Old Glory

I captioned it, "Our Nation's Flag, you decide."

[MadisonProgressive]

91. Is that a bluish mushroom cloud right behind the eagle?

[getmeouttahere]

19. Flags are pieces of cloth...

and we have always put WAY too much emphasis on this kind of thing. It brings to mind the "Support our Troops" magnets...it's all just a big show for people who never served and could care less that the people they elect won't lift a finger to support the troops the way they should be supported.

[maxrandb]

24. And Also a Way for People

to display their piety, while in reality, they don't have a "true" Christian bone in their bodies.

Whatever happened to that thing Jesus said about; "when you pray to my father, don't be like the pharisees who fall on their knees in the street and tear their robes. Go into your room, close the door, and pray in private and my father will hear you."

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Christians aren't supposed to get signs from Satan...

Ummm....:spray:

[lastliberalintexas]

117. Or worship idols

They don't seem to have read their own book.

[msanthrope]

23. I'm gonna burn one. n/t

[Q3JR4]

98. Don't do that,

you'd have to buy one first, which would only be helping her out.

[dbt]

25. "Take heed that no man deceive you."

Boy, is THAT part ever gonna bite some "Christian" ass someday soon!

:popcorn:

[ikri]

35. um...

Since when is a lightning strike seen as a good thing?

Aren't lightning bolts aimed toward you from the sky usually a sign that $DEITY is really pissed off with you?

:shrug:

[progressivebydesign]

60. Yeah! Satan's fireballs would come from the South, so to speak. n/t

[AuntiBush]

36. She's from Maryland & Got her Idea from the 700 Club

According to the Baltimore Sun Newspaper. The article was in yesterday's Sunday edition and it literally took up an entire page! You won't see that for our troops, much less the outage from the Bush Adm.

They ran a photo or two of her (I threw it away and canceled my subscription today because of a Kinsley article ridiculing the left liberals about the Downing Street Memo).

Now, the 700 Club is going to help her sell it! Guess they can hang it up along side the confederate flags popping-up all over Cecil & Baltimore County, MD where it's noted she is from. A common-knowledge/known county of KKK appreciators, another article (very tiny) noted Bonosboro, I think Carroll Co or Frederick Co., MD are preparing for a KKK rally or parade of sorts in about a month. I thought all of this was out-lawed years back. The town of Bonosboro hurried a law through days ago that had something to do with banning gun-toting within a particular area near some park where this KKK group are suppose to be rallying. The KKK obviously didn't like this.

Anyway, this is what's going on in Maryland thanks to Bush's ideologies. And as a "white Christian woman," this gives me 1 more reason to hang my head in shame as I do not aide, nor abet to any of this. Assuming the Bush Adm just loves this as I see them doing nothing to stop it. What's new.

Nice, real nice, huh. We just stepped back into a time-warp.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone! :crazy:

[blindpig]

43. What has happened to the Sun?

To have a front page(Sunday!) covered with that kind of crap is the sort of thing I'd expect from the local fishwrap.

For that matter, what has happened to Maryland? We always had our share of whackjobs(quite right about Balto. Co.) but they generally had enough shame not to air their stupidity in public.

Man, I leave the place for 22 years and you people let it go to hell;>) Though I'm sure the social situation is still vastly superior to what I tolerate here.

[AuntiBush]

54. You tell me and we'll both know. I no longer know my state!

Growing-up in the inner-city way back when, it was the best! I enjoyed a dramatic varient of cultures; had tons of friends from every race, creed, religious/non-religous background and all ages, maritial status, etc.

It was beautiful and I miss it every day. So many have either moved-on, out-of-state given-up on Maryland eons ago. If I think too long on it, my heart breaks. Not one big corporate groups care about the city, though they claim they do - bull. The Sun... well, I think they're too close to D.C. Fear maybe? Influences? Probably.

Note; You mention that "you people let it go to hell?" Don't blame all of us. It's like saying all of us have control of what's goin on in D.C. right now.

[blindpig]

76. no blame

Just a lame attempt at humor. I suppose I'm as much to blame as anyone, since I carried my leftie vote to a place where it does absolutely no good at all.

I'm an old Highlandtowner myself. Growing up was more "East Side Kids" than "Leave It To Beaver". I developed a great love for Nature despite my surroundings. Between the tragedy of the Bay and the sprawl which has destroyed many of my old stomping grounds I'd have gone monkeywrench/postal if I had stayed.

At least you still have Harry Attman's!

[maxrandb]

85. Maryland is being punished

for Baltimore stealing the Browns from Cleveland. :grr:

[blindpig]

104. If that's the case then I'm all for it

What happened to Baltimore is just one more proof that capitalism sux.

What Baltimore did to Cleveland was shameless and inexcusable. Better no team than a stolen one.

I guess I should thank that fucking pig Irsay for destroying my interest in spectator sports entirely. Life is to short and precious to be spent in front of a television.

[NVMojo]

37. I'd let my dog piss on it and then I'd burn the hateful thing if I found 1

[DBoon]

40. Someone has beat her to it!!

The Christian Falange Part of the US: http://www.falangist.com/

[DinahMoeHum]

41. Oh, heck, why doesn't she just do what Mark Twain once suggested

we do with the flag? (at the time of the Filipino insurrection).

That is, paint the white stripes black and replace the stars in the blue field with a skull and crossbones. Or, in her case, replace with a cross and a gun.


:evilfrown:

[MidwestTransplant]

42. Ashcroft's "Let the Eagle Soar" should be the new anthem too...

[hyphenate]

45. I just remembered

isn't one of the Ten Commandments something about having no graven images or false gods or something like that? (I could look it up, I supposed!)

And here we have these so-called freakazoids

creating flags
putting up the 10 commandments in a federal building
and I'm sure a thousand--nay, million--other false gods and graven images

And don't forget the "Thou shalt not kill" one--they'll all roast in hell for that one, huh?

[sakabatou]

82. To answer you

isn't one of the Ten Commandments something about having no graven images or false gods or something like that? (I could look it up, I supposed!)

Yep. An Israeli artist has taken that law into his art, not drawing faces. All figures are painted as the wooden drawing figurines they sell in art shops.

[jokerman93]

48. American Grotesque n/t

[FizzFuzz]

56. stars representing Xtians in each state....

well she couldn't have spelled it out any more clearly:

America is for XTIANS ONLY!
...We intend to represent only OUR OWN life, liberty and happiness.

what must it feel like to be THAT deluded?
(not that I want to find out personally.......)

[Zenlitened]

57. Cool! When they print it on toilet paper, sign me up to buy a case.

Confusing America with the 700 Club... clearly this is someone who knows NOTHING about what this country stands for.

Blinded by phony piety, to the point where she could actually -- and without a trace of irony -- stitch a quote warning against deception into the thing.

These people would be a laugh riot if they weren't so dangerous to our country.

[progressivebydesign]

58. At what point does religion become mental illness?

Seriously. Why are so many people becoming part of this cult? Has there been a mass-hysterical religious climate before? This is not normal behavior.. What makes Miss Blue Fireball From Satan any different than people in the Middle Ages who were so fraught with superstition that they could not function, and ended up hurting many people? Or maybe I'm thinking Salem Witch Trials, etc. Same mentality.

I think God was probably giving her a sign.. it's wasn't Satan. It was God saying STOP PROFITING FROM MY NAME YOU FREAK!! Or perhaps it was the static electricity from the entire band of Forefathers turning in their grave at once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sakabatou]

64. Nominated for Top Ten Conservatives

[UncleSepp]

65. Sounds like Thor doesn't like her flag?

Makes about as much sense as a thunderstorm being "spiritual warfare" or an attack from Satan. Or maybe Thor hates telephone poles.

If this lady didn't use Christian terms to describe her interpretation of events in the outside world as being caused by her thoughts and actions, she'd be very clearly delusional. Unfortunately, it seems many people share her delusions. That isn't to say that all faith is delusion or that all Christians are delusional - far from it. It's the "I did something that caused unseen forces to hurl thunderbolts at my telephone poles" part that rings my alarm bell for this lady. With the unfortunate Christian fringe, it's the delusions of persecution that make me think they aren't religious, they're ill.

[Lilith Velkor]

110. Nah, Thor just does stuff like that whe he's drunk

I see all faith as delusional, but delusion is appropriate in some situations. Such as when you're not in public.

[Thor_MN]

134. I was not as thunk as you drunk I was....

I was aiming for the phone that she was holding....

[Fight_n_back]

68. Does Satan control the weather?

Is that why it is so sunny whare Jeb Bush lives? If Satan controls the weather then why do crops ever grow? Wouldn't it be more Satan like if there was always drought?

Does that woman ever hear the words that come out of her mouth?

Take heed that no man decieve you, indeed.

[Straight Shooter]

75. She has six phone lines in her house? Another rich white Republican.

Can't you just hear her God up in the heavens, "Dammit! Missed again!"

[Media_Lies_Daily]

77. How ironic..."Matthew 24: 'Take heed that no man deceive you'".

[ElsewheresDaughter]

78. INSANE....God help these crazies?

[Sabriel]

81. That's hardly fair

We atheists get squat, as usual. What's our flag...just a big ol' blank spot?

I say, equal stupid flag idea rights for all!

[MadisonProgressive]

84. If you believe

in a old bearded man in the sky

you just may be a nutbasket

[0rganism]

90. I don't see a lot of "Judeo" on that "Christian" flag

"Thanks for the affirmation, Satan."

Uh... no thanks. Put down the crack pipe, and step away from the sewing machine.

[Norquist Nemesis]

92. Well, that Jesus fish is getting a bit long in the tooth

Gotta rejuvenate the nation dontcha know :sarcasm:

[struggle4progress]

93. A flag for everyone who yearns for apocalypse:

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world ... and then shall the end come."



Personally, I think this rainbow pride flag looks a lot cooler:

[maxrandb]

108. Wouldn't a True Christian Flag

have a dove...not an eagle???

:wtf:

Makes me think that the BORG have taken over. Folks like this lady remind me of the Pod People.

"Dear Lord, Save me from your followers"

[JRob]

94. crazy

[Thor_MN]

135. Hey, wasn't Lamar the one with the Javlin designed for his limp-wristed

throwing style?

[JRob]

140. don't know

[scarlet_owl]

99. What the hell?

Sounds like somebody fell out of the crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down. I don't like what people like this are doing to Jesus.

[shawn703]

100. What a nutjob

A thunderstorm is a spiritual attack?


:crazy:

[supernova]

101. Ugh, Just Ugh.

I don't think even The Mother Ship® wants her.

[arikara]

102. The only comment that I have to make about the article

other than the obvious, which has been stated eloquently in earlier posts...

why in the world did the newspaper give such a moranic story so much space? A brief paragraph in "News of the Weird" would have sufficed.

[Bridget Burke]

103. The Confederates had several "Christian" flags....

But I'm not going back to those websites....

[Obamarama]

105. I know JUST the design: rotate a cross 45 degrees to the right...

Trim a little bit of the top and the bottom of the long section.

Then, measure the distance from the middle of the cross to the end, then make four additional straight sections of exactly that length.

Finally, attach each of the four new sections to each of the ends of the cross, at 90 degree angles.

You end up with a nifty, little swastika. It was good enough for the "old Europe" facists, so it's good enough for the neofacists.

And with that, I am now going to throw up because people like Marcia make me SICK.

[Zhade]

141. Here's one I played around with a while back...

[ibegurpard]

109. I farted at the exact same moment I was reading this article.

Surely a sign that this woman is batshit crazy.

[lisby]

113. "I farted at the exact same moment I was reading this article."

:rofl:

Funny, my husband did, too.

Lisby

[Johnny Noshoes]

120. Thank you

[mitchum]

111. May she SOON be with her god

[Sgent]

112. Damit

stop using us to try and legitimize your freakish beliefs. There isn't the first thing Judaeo about these freaks. They are all in the Paul run amuck club.

As for the commandments, they only follow the ones the like. The Mitzvoh about never letting a person go hungry or for justice or for a small military or the multiple verses about adultery they ignore. The one's for they like (Gay marrige, etc.) they take completely out of context and twist it to their own.

In the Jewish tradition there are 613 commandments... The ONE regarding homesexuality is about 575th on the list of importantce, preceded by things such as no adultry, no lying, honest business relations, not eating lobster and paying your tithe.

[mitchum]

115. Good luck getting these pigs to give up cheeseburgers...

shrimp cocktails and pork chops. They do like to pick and choose their Judaic laws, don't they? Why in the hell are they citing Hebrew law anyway?

122. Bravo, good post!!

And they completely ignore HUNDREDS of years of Rabbinic interpretation of the mitzvot, too...

119. Musta been Thor....

Or Zeus

I don't remember Satan ever having anything to do with storms and lightning.

Wasn't that also one of the signs of God in the Old Testament? Seems I remember something about lightning and storms upon Mt. Sinai when the presence of the one was there...

It's a sign alright.

Allahu Akbar!

121. It was a sign alright

of a THUNDERSTORM. What is it with these people? I feel like I've somehow slipped into an alternate time line where my country vanished and was replaced by a friggin madhouse run by the inmates. Its a good thing DU, Air America , and all the liberal/left of center web sites are out there because if they weren't my doctor would be sending me to a therapist for treatment. Man its gettin just too weird.

123. The fucker can go enlist himself. I know MANY scriptures those pigs ignore

that pertain to greed, being kind to others, killing is a no-no, I'll dig them up later - not that he'd read them anyway.

125. wtf

that's fine for her, if she wants it. she can move out into the woods, claim her own country, people who believe the same can join her, but she doesn't speak for me and I know she doesn't speak for the entire murikan population.

these people are so ass-backwards it hurts to read about stuff like this.

126. Why does she hate America?

She MUST hate America, or she would never try to improve on the Stars and Stripes.

Which, might I add, I happen to love. I just want our side to TAKE IT BACK. She hates America.

129. She doesn't know there already IS a Christian flag?

Google it and ye shall find. O8)

138. If you look at HER website, she claims she isn't trying to displace ..

.. the "Christian flag" but just wants an "American Christian flag." Apparently, although "in Christ there is no East or West," nothing in Holy Writ says we can't distinguish twixt Merrikins and Furriners ...

133. It was founded by Christians and we have God's name on U.S. currency

Anglicans and Catholics most certainly killed and murdered untold millions of natives to get this land. Unfortunately some still live 500 years in the past. She thinks Satan sent her a message and it inspired her to come up with a flag of intolerance. Doesn't sound like a very Christian thing to do.

139. Oh my goodness, i just had a vision!

Oh, my word i just had a vision...there was this chicken that walked up to me and the chicken said, eat more cheese...and i was like, damn, its a sign from the Chicken God to eat more cheese...so, immediately after snapping out of my state of "vision" i went to the store and etc etc etc......

And to tell you the truth, this story actually makes more sense than this old lady story....:) These country is going through a very rough shift, especially within the confines of religion, and the boundaries that "need" to be in place. Religion is very very hard to deal with, because when you are dealing with it, you are dealing with peoples feelings, faiths and beliefs. Most religions keep pounding there stereotypes and teachings over and over and over again...I'm sure there are worse crack pots out there than this lady, wait, or yeah, Mr. Monkey in Chief is worse...:)

Well, i'm off....the Chicken God is calling me.....i must get some Ritz Crackers....:P

142. Sounds like a Christian Constitutionalist (AKA Constitution Party)

They are freakay (at least the ones I have met)! Seem normal and nice at first...until you get to know them lol. They don't believe in separation of church and state, which I find disturbing.

143. To the Xtian flag, we add the Bush Fish magnetic ribbon
