#1 -- Christian idolatry: I took this picture recently outside a Christian church building in Sandpoint, Idaho; no comment needed. As my friend said when I showed him the pic, "I guess Jesus knows His place..."
#2 -- Secular worldview position: Here is a link to the Veterans of Foreign Wars pamphlet "Etiquette of the Stars and Stripes The United States Flag: Its History and How to Display and Respect It." It is an outline of Federal Congress' "Public Law 94-344" This little white pamphlet is handed out on Veterans Day and Fourth of July, and no one ever reads it (let's be honest), but this time I did.
Check out page 16 under the question "Is it proper to place the Bible, flowers, a lodge emblem or any other object upon the U.S. flag?
Answer: No. Nothing should ever rest upon the U.S. flag.
As John Calvin stated so well, so long ago: Humans are idol factories.
