An Open Letter to God
So, God, I was driving by one of your houses today and saw an amazing sight. The house was decorated with red, white and blue plastic flags that went from there to a sign advertising that this was one of your places. On the sign, I was surprised to see the following statement:

Jesus is the Christians' Statue of Liberty

Now, I like to think I'm a loyal American as much as the next person. While I do bitch...can I say that word? Well, you know what I mean. I do bitch about the state of our nation on a regular basis. I'm sure you've heard me going on about war, women's rights, poverty and so on. I think I'm like you in the respect that I want to see the ills of the world go away.

My question is this: Is it okay to decorate one of your houses with American flags or other patriotic symbols? Is it okay to equate Jesus with the Statue of Liberty?

1. I don't see why not.
"Is it okay to equate Jesus with the Statue of Liberty?"

One hollow symbol is much like another.
