Hey, doesn't that prove we are under attack? It certainly looks like our education system is getting it's ass kicked to me!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Esp as some of us are willing to run the risk of an accident in order to get said picture!

The journalist in me had to document this crap Besides, if there is a massacre type shootup locally, I already have the license plate

I was only able to make out one thing on the right side of this display. It says something about Paul Revere And one of the bumperstickers says POW MIA This is a driving timebomb

I grew up going to a lutheran church and they always had both the american flag and this flag in the front alter area in opposite corners or next to each other.

I see them all the time displayed on flag poles on church grounds too.
I thought it was slightly odd then, but forgot about it.

horatio said:

Is this Christian Flag new? I never remember seeing any flags besides the US flag when I was growing up in the church.

i grew up in all kinds of crazy ass scary churches, from pentecostal to southern baptist to the damn german baptist amish-lite church, and i never saw that steenkin' christian flag. hell, i even went to a unitarian church for a while and they got more flags up than a damn macy's parade, and i didn't see it there either. i don't know what that's all about. bjork has that song where she says "MAKE YOUR OWN FLAG!!!" maybe christians are big bjork fans, i don't know.

Anxiety said:

I guess they sure declared independence didn't they?

Well we were holy rollers with tongues and all that stuff and if it were legal you know I would have been playin with snakes from that early an age I don't remember there ever being a Christian flag though. That's pretty hardcore if you think about it.

I don't think its new. I think another reason it kind of seemed odd is I swear I've seen it used in KKK rallies and court rooms. I could be mistaking though.

And it's missing a comma after 'cord' (if you ascribe to serial commas or the Chicago Manual of Style rules).

I would have called that shit in immediately...."Yes, hello, there's a truck on the freeway, license BF38773 that has all sorts of stuff attached to it which could easily fly off." Crazy ass bible bangers. And I'm a little unclear about how Israel fits into their fundamentalist insanity...are the truck owners pro-Christian or pro Jew/Israel? I mean you can be both, I guess, you just don't really see the Christians advertising the Israeli flag that much...


Okay--here's a funny flag story. So my mom is really into church (Methodist, but she's relatively cool about it) and when I lived in Chicago one of my apartments was near Halsted/Boystown, which is largely gay. So she's visiting me and sees all those rainbow flags hanging everywhere, right? After the visit she calls me and wants me to buy one of those "rainbow flags." I asked her why. Her response: to hang in the church as a symbol of the Rainbow Covenant between Noah and God after the flood.

I said, "You do realize that flag represents gay pride right?" She was like, "well if we hang it in the church it means the Rainbow Covenant." I said, "No it means gay pride, and I'll only buy it for you if you acknowledge that."

So I bought it for her and I guess it's hanging in the Methodist church. (I don't know because I refuse to set foot in the church when I visit.)

I never saw or heard about that flag until today. Apparently its been around for some time.

That is absolutely amazing. I was hardcore HARDCORE in the church and never heard of it.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

me too. Grew up in the church from birth. NEVER saw this flag anywhere.

OMG! I showed these pictures to one of my co-workers and he has seen this damn guy on the same freeway but going the other direction

Anxiety said:

That, my friend, is the official Christian flag. In my parochial school youth, I had to pledge allegiance to it every morning, as well as make a seperate pledge to the Holy Bible. The pledge went something like this:

I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag and to the saviour, for whose kingdom it stands. One savior, crucified, risen and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe.

The Bible pledge started out like this (can't remember the ending):

I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God's holy word. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path...

Yes, I needed therapy in my late teens/early 20s.

SnakePeel said:

we covered this already, although we have not covered the part of you needing therapy.

Ah, the Org, where Christianity's adherents are always fair game...

ThreadBare said:

Thready please! First of all, many of us were/are Christinas so we are speaking from Experience. Second, this doesn't scare the hell out of you?

OMG, this thread again


Lawd, I need to log off.

Sometimes when I drive through Indiana I see that car with the giant loud-speaker on it from the Blues Brothers movie driving on the highway.
