Contending over politics is something akin to arguing about who will be first in the kingdom!

BTW - does anybody know what an Asheroth pole actually looked like?
I agree that arguing over politics is a minor thing.

But when we come to worship, bringing anything to which we "pledge allegiance to" other than God is a problem. The church, especially at worship, is of the kingdom of God, not the earthly kingdom in which the particular assembly is located. Giving attribution to that earthly kingdom is problematic. Especially when so many grant it something akin to theocracy status.
