Adding Insult to Injury

Here's a great response to the White House's very poor decision to rub Christian citizen's faces in the recent SSM decision.  Why the "Rainbow White House is a Bad Idea

h.t. PB

The White House should not ever be used as an icon or celebration for any particular political or even social cause or purpose, regardless of our personal belief on the rightness of that cause. It just shouldn't.

It's the people's House which we happily and proudly present to every President to conduct his solemn business of leading our nation and for the protection, enjoyment, and relaxation of his family. It is not one person’s, administration’s, or particular group’s house to proclaim his or their particular views on any topic of social or public policy.

How about this - here's a perfect opportunity to get those American flags out of the front of churches and be able to articulate why

The White House thumbs its nose at the 50% who still believe the historic definition of marriage should still apply. What are they to think when the President gives them the thumb (or finger)?

I've been convinced for years about the error of having the US flag in churches, so now I have another reason thanks to the suggestion of pb. There is no need to be offensive; the flags can be respectfully removed and donated to whoever wants them.

Put flag at back of the sanctuary, to show we move back out into the kingdom of this world to love and serve
