Just hunks of metal, stone or plaster in my book . . . I have no real attachment. I understand both sides of this I think, but I'm not for pulling them down or destroying them. That is analogous to anarchy, and God is not the Author of confusion. But we are instructed to remember that it will all pass and be burnt with a fervent heat, so where should our hearts and minds be?

And patriotism taken a too far, in my book, is simply idol worship. Many worship the idea of this country and the American Dream. God's mercy is in waking us up from dreaming about things that are not eternal.
