RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - Johnny Cupcakes - 07-07-2015 Meh. Churches should be allowed to do what they want with their property, so long as it isn't obscene. I don't have a problem with them flying their flag over the national flag. RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - SteelCitySouth - 07-07-2015 yeah...this doesn't bother me at all.

RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - RICHMONDBENGAL_07 - 07-07-2015 Meh...freedom of speech and religion. RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - BmorePat87 - 07-07-2015 I'm ok with someone holding their religion above their government. I won't hate on you for it until you try to legislate your beliefs on other citizens or harm this country. RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - Griever - 07-08-2015 Shelby NC is filled with nothing but hicks anyways RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - Belsnickel - 07-08-2015 Private property, it's whatever. This isn't to say that improper flag etiquette doesn't bug me, but I try not to be an ass about it because most people don't care. For instance, there is a German restaurant in my town that has a German flag and an American flag flying on the front and they are in the wrong positions. I go in there monthly and don't say a word, even though every time I drive by I silently shake my head. RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - Nately120 - 07-08-2015 This doesn't bother/affect me, but I had to mentally roll my eyes when the guy had to point out that God specifically told him to do this. RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - Awful Llama - 07-08-2015 He may not need a lecture on patriotism, be he definetely needs one on flag etiquette: Quote:When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag - of a state, community, society or Scout unit - the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea. This is only about people not getting their way and as a result throwing a tantrum by displaying the flag incorrectly. They need to fly the flag correctly or just take it down altogether. Or, become Navy chaplains and get their asses out to sea. RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - fredtoast - 07-08-2015 Actually I should make my position mre clear. I disagree with it. I think it is wrong, but I don't think there should be a law to stop him from doing it. RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - Nately120 - 07-08-2015 Does every country get this bent out of shape over flags, or is it just ours?

Technically speaking, there is a law against it. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/7 (f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag’s right.

RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - michaelsean - 07-08-2015 I don't like it. His flags and all, but if you are going to intentionally ignore the etiquette then just don't fly it.

Not really what Jesus was talking about. I am curious why of all of the thousand of non-profits, churches bug people so much.

Not a big mystery. They avoid paying taxes on, sometimes enormous, income only to use that income to proselytize and promote their religion. The second part of this not being a mystery is the enormous, and utterly regrettable, influence of religious views on the political system, via said income, which affects everyone. To summarize, you pay no taxes on income used to spread your dogma all the while inflicting said dogma on everyone else in the country. So, not really sure where the confusion comes from on your part. RE: North Carolina church to fly Christian flag over Old Glory - michaelsean - 07-08-2015 Most churches barely make enough to get by let alone fund politics. Any excess money our church has goes to charity and help fund the school which saves taxpayers a lot of money. |
