Flying a denominational (theological corporate) flag like that church plans to do above the national colors has less to do with any god and more to do with the business of religion, which, in this instance and in my opinion, is tantamount to little but monkey business.
The blue field and stars of the US flag represent several things, one being the "heavens" of what our so-called Founders made reference to when they spoke of "...the laws of Nature and of Nature's God..." in the Declaration of Independence.
I see lots of denominational flags being flown with the US flag - but they fly correctly, in my opinion, on a separate pole of equal height, and neither above nor below the national colors.
What's next - a claim that our government officials are to be seen as members of the 'elect' (IAW Puritanical doctrine) or our democratically constituted federal republican governemnt governs by 'divine right' as opposed to the will of the people it represents?
