Some folks have too much time on their hands



Last month, the Christian Broadcasting Network took up the cause of a U.S. Christian flag.

The proposed design was created by Marcia Thompson Eldreth of Cecil County, Md., and was inspired by a sermon she heard in church. It is intended to replace the international Christian flag <http://www.steve4u.com/christian/facts.htm> (which Ms. Eldreth describes <http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44754> as "crisp and dignified, but politely cold"). This version is supposed to be flown alongside the stars and stripes.

Christian flag website. <http://www.uschristianflag.com/yes.htm>

For background and clarification, here is the artist's explanation of the elements:

The eagle carrying the cross represents the American Christian taking the gospel around the world declaring Christ's shed blood for the people.

The Purple represents His royalty, the White represents His purity, the Red represents His shed blood, and the Blue represents His bruises.

The 50 stars that create the border of the flag represent all the Christians of the United States banding together to protect our right to preach the gospel and to protect our Christian heritage.

The Scriptures are Matthew 24:4 "take heed no man deceive you" and Matthew 24:14 "and this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world ......and then shall the end come".

Careful when you click on the new Christian flag website, keep your speakers down as the music is really inspirational. Looks almost "reichish".

2. They are traitorous people
Get with it everyone..Religion has been a cover for all sorts of human evil,inspired by bible believers who have the personality scarred by narcissism sociopath and a certain type of blind believer mentality.THey are SICK people infected with a religion that is distorted by their personality flaws that cannot be cured easily.Our nation is dead if this shit flag flies alongside the flag of this country. Good bye freedoms goodbye ideals Fuck this shit.I'd buy a flag to wipe my ass with it and I'd send them a photo of my skid marked opinion of their theocratic fascist evil empire..Wake up we are losing the culture war when we comprimise with theocrats politically.We cannot cooperate with people who believe we all must convert or die to cause the end of the world so THEY can be"saved " from the human condition that torments us all based in a old book of dreams and threats written thousands of years ago.

3. Here is an notation from the artist's statement that was deleted....
It originally read

The Purple represents His royalty, the White represents His purity, the Red represents His shed blood, and the Blue represents His bruises (I was inspired to add the Blue representing bruises after seein the beautiful blue shiners on my wife's face and my kids' arms and legs).
