Week 8 - Response to Annie McLaren's Blog

Annie Mac's blog about Republicanism=Christianity got me thinking about other symbols we use. A church near my home in Lafayette, Colo. flies the most enormous American flag on its building I have ever seen. Some friends of mine go to church there and I have questioned them about it. Those friends question my salvation because I challenged their flag placement. WOW! The interesting thing is that many of these people really are wanting to follow Jesus. How is it that some have swallowed US patriotism in place of the Kingdom of God and refuse to even entertain any challenges to this notion? It would be interesting to think through how we could help deconstruct this notion for people.
