American Christians, do you consider the US flag a graven image?

No, it is not a graven image. I am proud to salute the flag that stands for this great country of freedom.
The U.S.A. is the greatest country in the world and I am proud to be an American, so I'm proud to salute the red, white and blue.


Artist: Lee Greenwood
Song: Proud To Be An American

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin' here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
 
No, it is not a graven image. It is a symbol of our country. I do not approve of everything our country does/has done. I abhor the attempts to relate our flag to god and religion. Yet every Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, and Armistice Day, I find myself unfurling my flag and planting its pole in the holder on my front porch.
 
@freedom -"country of freedom"? if this is freedom i dont want to see what the other side is, what kind of freedom doesnt let american born citizen marry their same sex partners?
