Talk:Christian flag
Really?[edit]
You mean it's meant to look like that? I always thought that those userboxes on Conservapedia got messed up, leaving a huge white space and a little picture of a cross in the corner, and nobody had bothered to fix them.Spud (talk) 03:18, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
I can't believe such a thing exists. And a pledge? Are fundamentalist Christians trying to kill satire? Jesus.

- Does the existence of this flag shock you? Then see what this does for you: Fundamentalists did not make this flag; mainline Christians did.

- The fellow who first thought of it was a Sunday school superintendent at a Methodist chapel. Back then the Methodists were big promoters of the Social Gospel and the whole "there is neither Jew nor Greek" thing. ListenerXTalkerX 05:39, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hm. In all honesty, I find the flag's colors' symbolism to be fairly unobjectionable. If it had been created today it might have had something like a broken moon for supremacy over Islam or something thrown in.

- I highly doubt it. But, in any event, one real problem with the flag is that it violates the rule of tincture with the red cross on the blue canton. ListenerXTalkerX 05:47, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- But that would mean the design couldn't use that great symbolism : ) Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 05:51, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- There are at least two ways they could have put a white border around that cross. ListenerXTalkerX 05:57, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

How the heck does one fix the capitalization error? PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer. 04:21, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

"Flag" is not a proper noun.[edit]
Should this not be "Christian flag"? PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer. 05:30, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Christian conquest flag additions[edit]
I updated this topic to include more info about Overton and to call out S.M. Johnson's "Christian Conquest Flag" created in 1901, but I am unable to upload an image - it says I must be logged in (but I already am). What gives? ;) --SkepticalPoet (talk) 00:22, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
