banner where skepticism
I found a banner you wanted... Atheist Flag...

1615107426190.png
Stainless Banner
Look the Atheist flag has a white background "stainless" the way you like it...

WHere's that banner?
Look the Veterans Administration allows Atheist Symbol and 62 other the link was interesting what you can leave at the grave site but no CFB's...


Snip..

As you can imagine, emblems and graphics on headstones themselves are highly regulated by the Veterans Administration. But even so, people can choose from 62 emblems of belief that have been approved by the VA. The emblems are religious, not political.

Thor

atheistfourdirections

A sampling of emblems (from top): Hammer of Thor (odinism), atheism, and the four directions (Lakota). One can also choose more common symbols of Christianity and Judaism.

Here are all the symbols you can have on your grave stone at a National Cemetery...


snip...

No graphics (logos, symbols, etc.) are permitted on Government-furnished headstones or markers other than the available emblems of belief, the Civil War Union Shield, the Civil War Confederate Southern Cross of Honor, and the Medal of Honor insignias.

i only live in berlin i'm an ex-catholic from bavaria

... as to your flag, so what? sporting a saltire doesn't make two flags the same, does it? it's not the design* that makes your stainless banner a traitorous rag.

* i actually like the cbf design
There isn't no Romish Heretic in Robert Dabney's ideal, no Union Yankee Universalist, just Happy are they who their savior Obey.
St. Andrew is St. Andrew is St. Andrew. Now speaking of St. Andrew and what is the meaning? The Older Brother of St. Peter at St. Peter's Basilica who has the keys? The First-Called, St. Andrew, thats the Ecumenical Saint of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Orthodoxy, on a Russian Naval Flag, on the Alabama Flag, supposedly shipped from Constantinople for safekeeping to Scotland flag. That's a symbol of not being Roman-Catholic. Any fidelity of the traitors is how they decide to break religion.

the scotish kings were catholics (where do you think the trouble with mary queen of scots and her son james IV (I) stems from?) and they used that flag since the 15th century.

Scotland specifically? Not that the flag is possibly a sign of Scottish Catholicism, just out of interest or humor... And back then, you've seen the yellow scottish royal lion a flag of a Kingdom. Therefore John Knox holding up that blue saltire over the Yellow Lion, its on the John Knox page, the Church of Scotland's pre-eminence over the King? Queen Mary of Scots.
Churches are always originality movements. You know that "Celtic Christianity" was the result of the Byzantine/Nicene period 400-600. Did you know the same old problem about the Bishop is expressed Within Catholicism. Cum universi - Wikipedia The Pope declares that Scotland, without figurehead, is not the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of York in England. The same question is carried on outside of Catholicism in Anglicanism/Presbyterianism.
I'd agree that Rome has extended to many non-Roman territories in its religion. Scotland is no more "special" than Poland?

If we're converting to religion from Poland I assume it'd be a religious Polish flag. You know, I can't really find one besides dissodents or the Yellow-White common of the Papacy.

The Flag of Scotland, called The Saltire or Saint Andrew's Cross, is a blue field with a white saltire. According to tradition, it represents Saint Andrew, who is supposed to have been crucified on a cross of that form (called a crux decussata) at Patras, Greece. National Monument is a Parthenon.

The Church of Scotland is too political? By comparison, who can be sure of House Churches being legal in America of spiritual knowledge.

Did you see what these Federalists make you do? It would not even be a beginning of the problem description or and adequate start, but to say they're pretending the whole world is one language, descent, culture , and heritage. By the way is there a Dixie flag? Puritan Pilgrims never got to be seen.


Whats this, the white-marble future-world? https://www.google.com/maps/place/N...386331434305d!8m2!3d38.9417904!4d-77.0808787#

Well I figure you won't bee seen again in Christendom for another 500 years with either PC(USA) or PC in America and their Roman friend the "Great Citizenship of Rome".

This is Political Flag have you ever looked up Presbyterian church flags or Puritan Church Flags and baby the Church of Scotland like to add a burning bush to the flag. Have you ever look up the Church of Scotland they like burning bushes... You have seemed to missed the bush...


The Church of Scotland (CoS; Scots: The Scots Kirk; Scottish Gaelic: Eaglais na h-Alba), also known by its Scots language name, the Kirk, is the national church of Scotland.[3] It is Presbyterian, having no head of faith or leadership group, and adheres to the Bible and Westminster Confession; the Church of Scotland celebrates two sacraments, Baptism and the Lord's Supper, as well as five other rites, such as confirmation and matrimony.[4][5] It is a member of the World Communion of Reformed Churches.[6]

The Church of Scotland traces its roots back to the beginnings of Christianity in Scotland, but its identity is principally shaped by the Reformation of 1560. According to the Church of Scotland, in 2013 its membership was 398,389,[7] or about 7.5% of the total population, dropping to 380,164 by 2014,[8] 336,000 by 2017,[9] and 325,695 by 2018, representing about 6% of the Scottish population.[10] According to the 2018 Household Survey, 22% of the Scottish population in 2018 (down from 34% in 2009) reported belonging to the Church of Scotland.

Motto: "Nec tamen consumebatur"
"Yet it was not consumed"

1615136087810.png

Here is the story behind the burning bush...


The emblem first appeared in 1691. There is no record indicating that any General Assembly of the Church has ever given express approval for the use of the burning bush symbol in any shape or form, but the printer of The Principal Acts of the General Assembly, George Mossman, under his own initiative, introduced a title page that year which carried a representation of the burning bush. It was accompanied by the words: Nec Tamen Consumebatur. Between 1691 and 1888 the same design was used but appeared in no less than eight variations. In 1930, the square logo, designed by Sir D. Y. Cameron, was introduced and used extensively until 1939 in place of the more familiar emblem.

Snip... motto...

The Latin used in the emblem created by George Mossman roughly translates into: Nec: it was not; tamen: however; consumebatur: it was consumed.

The wording refers to the Book of Exodus in the Bible when Moses encountered the burning bush.
No matter how much it burned, it was never consumed by the flames. Scholars suggest that Mossman may have got the idea to use the Latin (which is the Latin of Tremellius and Junius of 1597 and not the earlier Latin of the Vulgate) from France or Holland. It is suggested that the printer deliberately used the wording in its new context to celebrate the liberation that came following the bloodless revolution of 1689 when the suffering of the Church involving the monarchy and the Covenanters was finally over.

The emblem also echoes the teachings of 16th century theologist and preacher John Calvin who saw the burning bush as representative of the people of God: the Church which suffers in any age or place but against which not even the gates of Hell can prevail.


It seems you need to learn about the Church of Scotland and its flag, motto, history and so forth... your Presbyterian cred is tarnished...

Are you smoking weed? I've been on the wikipedia of the church of scotland since 2009. You're spewing vomit sounding like you're high on weed. The Church of Scotland waves the scottish flag on their homepage all day, no difference whatsoever. The Church of Scotland is the patron of the Scottish flag with no United Kingdom patronage whatsoever.
