I Don't Pledge Allegiance to the Flag

"My first allegiance is not to a flag, a country or a man
My first allegiance is not to democracy or blood
It’s to a King and a Kingdom."

You can no more have a Christian worldly government than you can have a Christian petunia or aardvark. - The Myth of a Christian Nation

Laws enforced by the sword control behavior but cannot change hearts, no matter how sharp the sword is. The redemption of the cross does what laws and bullets and bombs can never do – bring transformation of evildoers and enemies. - Myth of a Christian Nation

We've never had a savior on Capitol Hill. - Derek Webb

Any peace achieved by violence is a peace forever threatened by violence. - Gregory Boyd

Peace by way of war
is like purity by way of fornication
It's like telling someone murder is wrong
and then showing them by way of execution

and I would rather die
I would rather die
I would rather die than to take your life

'cause how can I kill the ones I'm supposed to love?
My enemies are men like me.
So I will protest the sword if it's not wielded well
'cause my enemies are men like me

When justice is bought and sold just like weapons of war
Oh, the ones who always pay are the poorest of the poor...

...so how can I kill the ones I'm supposed to love?
My enemies are men like me.
So I will protest the sword if it's not wielded well
'cause my enemies are men like me
-Derek Webb, "My Enemies are Men Like Me"
