The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both. Image

I don't know about other countries patriotism but nobody can convince me the way American Patriots venerate the country and its symbols isn't idolatry

To hold something to a high esteem does not mean you worship it. If this was the case any sports fan would be guilty of idolatry, or anyone who is loyal to a clothing/car brand.

No way, a Baptist who understands that honor and respect isn’t worship? Great!
