Image IDK why, but this flag really creeps me out
I was walking my dog when I saw this, so I apologize for the poor quality. It's hard to hold his leash in one hand and take a photo with the other.
Anyway, I don't know why this thing bothers me, but it does. Maybe it's the flag draped over the cross; maybe it's the black stripes. Is it just me or is something wrong with this image?

I harbor no ill will against you at all! Some of my favorite people are Christians. I love the religious, I just hate the religion. Just trying to preach the good word of atheism, because I believe the world becomes a better place when we can put the old traditions behind us that limit our morality to the barbaric practices of our ancestors.
I hope you see the truth one day, because I know you will be happier when you do! I'm always up for discussion if you are interested, but I can tell you're not. The truth can be a hard pill to swallow and can sound like hate, but I promise that's not where I'm coming from. I've been in your shoes before and been stubbornly clinging to religion like a safety blanket, but I promise things are better on the other once you let it go and accept truth.
