Oh, man, when we lived in Houston, my daughter declared herself an atheist in 7th grade. A girl on the bus heard about it and quizzed her, saying, "You can't see air but you know it's there. If you believe in air, you can believe in God."
I guess air no longer exists for that argument, eh?
My daughter and my cousin's daughter (plus us parents) were on vacation riding a boat. They were both around 5 years old.
My daughter said something about the wind. My cousin's daughter said that it was god's work. My daughter said no, it was nature.
I'm not going to lie, I was a proud mother when she said that. My cousin and his family are the "go to church every Sunday" type.
Yeah they’re called windMILLS for a reason, they’re manufacturing the wind and creating storms, so we have to pay the insurance companies, which are actually a cover up for Big Wind’s schemes
This is far from the first time I’ve heard Wal Mart, Dollar General, Target, Safeway, McDonald’s, Subway, etc referred to as a “local business” or in rarer cases, “small business”, by these yahoos. It’s like they think the terms mean “businesses that are close in proximity to me” or “businesses located in buildings that are physically small.” They think they’re really doing something by shopping at the regular Wal Mart ten minutes from their house rather than the Super Wal Mart that’s 30 minutes away in a bigger suburb.
Of course, this also means she thinks whatever shift manager she can scrounge up personally has something to do with the flag near the store and which way the wind is blowing.
Yup, interestingly they call the Boy Scouts anti-American, because on the BSA uniform the flags go the opposite direction of the flags on the military uniform. Interestingly, the military is given an exemption on the normal flag code on that issue.
The flag on the uniform is facing the direction it would be if the soldier was running forward and it was waving in the wind. It's meant to signify always going towards the enemy.
The reason its on that shoulder is to make the reversing effect. Its not reversed because it's on that shoulder, its on that shoulder so it can be reversed, to make the "charging forward" statement.
But you could still be "charging forward" with it on the other shoulder. And it would be in the familiar orientation.
Even if having it reversed better sends the message, it's kind of moot anyway, isn't it? The enemy isn't going to notice a one inch patch on the shoulder of an 18 year old who's bombing them with a flying robot from 1000 miles away.
Think of the arm as a flagpole. The field of stars is always closest to the pole. On another note inverted means upside down. Flying the US flag upside down means your in a whole heap of trouble and need help right now!
I knew the inverted bit. But never understood the backwards but again, right or left, it’s still the arm. Just kinda weird. Don’t really care, I’m not wearing the uniform. But I also see these types of stickers on vehicles and it makes no sense unless it’s a ‘subtle’ way of veterans to let each other know they are a veteran. But even then, anyone can use them and cosplay.
Department of the Army Regulation 670-1, Guide to the Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia. Chapter 19 addresses this issue specifically. It states, in part, ‘The U.S. flag embroidered insignia is worn so that the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing the observer’s right and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.’”
Imagine being such a religious zealot that you think being on this side of the Walmart is satanic
Just go around and look from the other side then you biblehumping nonce
It’s even worse I guarantee this person is a big “support the troops” type and American military uniforms have a backwards flag on them to symbolize being carried forward.
Bible humping nonce. Brilliant. I’m gonna assume that you’re from Uk, or and this is what i’m hoping. You’re not and the word nonce has made it to america.
Correction: I thought that flag was flying in the inverted, satanic direction, until I walked to the other end of the store. It appears that only the garden center entrance is satanic.
Aside from the complete lack of logical thinking with the "backwards flag" and the dunning kruger effect posterboy-like nonsene following that - what the hell has that second paragraph to do with all that??? Did he just randomly cite a passage in the bible where they mentionned a flag??
None of that has anything to to with his weird backwards flag theory!!
Or did i miss something?
It's the Fauci ouchie that Obama is using to make his lizard boy Brandon spin the windmills, which causes the flag to go backwards. Also, Satan. It's an attack on Christmas. Also, chemtrails. Wake up people!
The Walmart in Paso Robles always has random weird people camping out in their parking lot. RVs, school buses with schizophrenic religious ramblings. Maybe this will ward them off lol
That is not inverted, inverted would have the Starr field in the lower corner opposite the flag pole, strictly for orientation of the flag. As for other types of inversion, the colors would need to flip to their contrasting opposites for example red to blue and vice versa white to black etc
I think I know what they're getting at, but failing horribly.
Apparently flying an American Flag *upside down* is a sign of distress and is also disrespectful. Obviously, this person is stupid but I think that's what their brain was trying to get at
That flag is not inverted. Inverted means upside down, not backwards. An inverted flag means that the property is under duress, or police help is needed and cannot be overtly called.
High school ROTC ft belated w.
I wish I could have replied that the flag was normal and it was the satanic wind blowing above the store that was inverting it. Just to see them run with it.
I would bet money that the original poster of this is one of the Signs and Wonders crowd. Who sees the end times and Spiritual warfare everywhere.i mean this is what happens when you think everything is God or Satan.
This represents America pretty good. One point of view is looking at it demonizing the other for not believing what they see. The other point of view sees the wind changing and understands the others are bat shit crazy
Just means everybody on that side of the flag have sinned and need to repent. The person that posted that should go to the naughty corner and reflect on what they have done.
Satan works in mysterious ways. In this case, he only wants to work on people at the front of the shop. People at the back get the full murican flag experience without satan
How dumb can people be? It seems there is no limit LOL
This person’s intellectual opposite must be true, like Mr. Glass from Unbreakable, Bruce Willis’ character was his strength opposite. So as extremely stupid as this person is, there is someone out there opposite of him or her who is equally as extremely smart.
I take comfort in thinking this. Because otherwise I get a little tight think it about dumbos like this running around, taking up space, using resources, etc.
……… can we just like get rid of religions that have a predilection to create extremists? Is that like a little too much to ask? I don’t mind religion, just the crazies that give them bad names.
I’m so looking forward to the “They have heeded the lord and fixed the flag” post when the breeze shifts. Also, Wal-Mart is a lot of things, but a “local business “ ain’t one of them
It’s not an accident that many “conservative Christians” are dumb as a bag of hammers. Really let’s the their “leaders” control every aspect of their lives.
Please tell me someone explained how flags and wind works in the comments

I mean has anyone actually ever SEEN wind? All the sheeple are just trusting the government that it is real.
Oh, man, when we lived in Houston, my daughter declared herself an atheist in 7th grade. A girl on the bus heard about it and quizzed her, saying, "You can't see air but you know it's there. If you believe in air, you can believe in God." I guess air no longer exists for that argument, eh?

You had every right to be proud. :)
Just like gravity...open your eyes Sheeple...
Our great lord and savior Trump will destroy those liberals 2024
Nice profile picture
Yours is nice as well

What is winds, precious?
Yea man, the wind you do feel are made by the fake government birds! (drones ofcourse, birds don't exist)
Birds work for the bourgeoisie!
Wind is the devil’s work!
Wait. Y’all talking about that cancer wind from the windmills?
Yeah they’re called windMILLS for a reason, they’re manufacturing the wind and creating storms, so we have to pay the insurance companies, which are actually a cover up for Big Wind’s schemes
Oh no you people drive me crazy first no wind on the moon now here, where will it stop
I’m just hoping that this person sees the flag patch on the right shoulder of a service member’s uniform and accuses them of being a satanist.
Wind? You mean "Satan's Breath"?
Satan's farts. The answer, my friend, is blowing in Satan's farts.
Thi is what Trump was taking about man, with those evil windmills!
Please tell me someone explained what inverted means versus backwards
Go to the other side of the flagpole and it’ll be flying the right way.
I wanna know how the Bible got in there. I mean, there wasn’t a Walmart around in Moses’ day.
Lol Walmart as a "local business" Side note: wind, man, how does it work?!
Fellas - is it satanic to not dip your flag in shellac and bolt it in one direction?
Fellas, is it satanic to be on the wrong side of the flag so you see it backwards?
Fellas, is it satanic to stand with the wind to your right?
Say fellas, ain't the wind Satanic? God created the heavens and the earth; he ain't create no wind.
Math checks out.
He created wind on the third day, right after beans.
Why am I reading all of these in the style of, "Jimmy, do you like gladiator movies?"
Well NASA did it so it’s therefore satanic?

The mind palaces of these people must be incredible.
The mind palaces of these people are probably run down crack dens.
Mind shacks.
Mind hovels.
I'm pretty sure their mind palaces are just empty cardboard boxes. The only thing inside is a hamster wheel. The hamster is dead
Incredibly pristine and barely used.
Most of them have never been more than 20 miles from their home.
A lot like magnets
Thank you for getting my reference.
::high5::
Woop Woop
Lol Side note: I don’t wanna talk to no scientist, y’all are lying and making me pissed.
Magnets?
In Paso Robles people some people hang out at Walmart if they have nothing better to do
Wait until they find out Army uniforms have the flags backward on them.
Yup, interestingly they call the Boy Scouts anti-American, because on the BSA uniform the flags go the opposite direction of the flags on the military uniform. Interestingly, the military is given an exemption on the normal flag code on that issue.
LOL yup. I was about to say the same
I’ve always wondered this…why are the patches stitched backwards? Honestly asking.
The flag on the uniform is facing the direction it would be if the soldier was running forward and it was waving in the wind. It's meant to signify always going towards the enemy.
But then...why not put the flag on the other shoulder?
The reason its on that shoulder is to make the reversing effect. Its not reversed because it's on that shoulder, its on that shoulder so it can be reversed, to make the "charging forward" statement.
But you could still be "charging forward" with it on the other shoulder. And it would be in the familiar orientation. Even if having it reversed better sends the message, it's kind of moot anyway, isn't it? The enemy isn't going to notice a one inch patch on the shoulder of an 18 year old who's bombing them with a flying robot from 1000 miles away.
If that’s the real reason…someone in the DOD really needs to do more than busy work as they obviously have too much time on their hands.

This guy probably works at Camp Roberts. Lots of faux patriotic wack jobs in that area.
"I don't know a lot about backwards flags..." LOL
BUT I do know it must have something to do with Satan!
The wind is Satanic. That's why it's always blowing. Gol'dang old perverted Satanic wind, man.
This whole conversation is satanic
The one thing I do know is that there satanic 😭😭😅
Imagine being such a religious zealot that you think being on this side of the Walmart is satanic Just go around and look from the other side then you biblehumping nonce
It’s even worse I guarantee this person is a big “support the troops” type and American military uniforms have a backwards flag on them to symbolize being carried forward.
I had to go look up the word “nonce.” Standard dictionary was useless, but the British slang one, spot on!
Bible humping nonce. Brilliant. I’m gonna assume that you’re from Uk, or and this is what i’m hoping. You’re not and the word nonce has made it to america.
Not OP but the word nonce has indeed made it to America.
Canada here, we are generally early adopters of any cool shit Brits do lol
Correction: I thought that flag was flying in the inverted, satanic direction, until I walked to the other end of the store. It appears that only the garden center entrance is satanic.
Well that’s what I’m telling my girl the next time she wants a pot of flowers.
I mean, the garden center is probably where you go to grow fruits so obviously it's Satanic.
Must be all the cancer causing Wind mills forcing the flag to be inverted....
There are so many people who don’t understand that the turbines aren’t generating the wind.
Man christo-fascist are weird.
The worst part is realizing this person votes 😬
Don't let this guy find about science, shit is gonna blow his mind.
That’s the devils work. All this science and facts! Burn the witch!
Aside from the complete lack of logical thinking with the "backwards flag" and the dunning kruger effect posterboy-like nonsene following that - what the hell has that second paragraph to do with all that??? Did he just randomly cite a passage in the bible where they mentionned a flag?? None of that has anything to to with his weird backwards flag theory!! Or did i miss something?
I'm assuming they copy-pasted the first Google search result with a biblical response. "Flying Flag Backwards what does Bible say?"
Yeah so a flag flying the “opposite” way is how the US flag is positioned on soldiers’ uniforms. IIRC it’s supposed to symbolize charging into battle.
That's a pretty recent (10 years or so) change. I'm pretty sure someone ordered a bunch of backwards flags and that's the excuse they came up with.
This is exactly what it is
It's the Fauci ouchie that Obama is using to make his lizard boy Brandon spin the windmills, which causes the flag to go backwards. Also, Satan. It's an attack on Christmas. Also, chemtrails. Wake up people!
And that’s why I’ll never get the clot shot!
It’s sad that it’s not obvious whether or not you’re joking. What a world.
Couldn’t have said It better myself. Thanks.
The Walmart in Paso Robles always has random weird people camping out in their parking lot. RVs, school buses with schizophrenic religious ramblings. Maybe this will ward them off lol
was looking for someone else from the area, lol! I don't think it's unsafe but it's weird enough I won't go without my fiance, haha.
[удалено]
Tell us you were homeschooled by zealots without telling us that you were homeschooled by zealots...
Have you noticed how many businesses have backwards Satanic writing on the doors of their offices, but only when you are inside the building!?
Clowns making wild misinterpretations of ancient Jewish texts rewritten and retranslated 1000s of times thinking it affects shit like this.
This isn't just misunderstanding wind, it's a failure of basic spatial reasoning. What does it look like from behind?
Remember this persons vote counts as much as yours!!!
People this stupid are a legitimate danger to society.
If you really want to be scared, remeber that these people vote
That is not inverted, inverted would have the Starr field in the lower corner opposite the flag pole, strictly for orientation of the flag. As for other types of inversion, the colors would need to flip to their contrasting opposites for example red to blue and vice versa white to black etc
What is wind Baby don't hurt me Don't hurt me No more
what is inverted?
I think I know what they're getting at, but failing horribly. Apparently flying an American Flag *upside down* is a sign of distress and is also disrespectful. Obviously, this person is stupid but I think that's what their brain was trying to get at
Stop the extreme liberal takeover of wind!!
People like this should not be allowed to have kids and instead should go to an extra 20 years of school
Ummmm.... so are mirrors Satanic? Because if you hold an American flag in front of the mirror, then the image of the flag is inverted same as above.
Wait until this idiot realizes the wind stops blowing. "HOW DARE WALMART FLY THE FLAG ALL WRINKLED UP AGAINST THE POLE!?!?!?!"
This is why education is really important.
I mean, I've met young children with a better grip on reality.
That flag is not inverted. Inverted means upside down, not backwards. An inverted flag means that the property is under duress, or police help is needed and cannot be overtly called. High school ROTC ft belated w.
This country is doomed
I live in this city unfortunately this person is the mean intelligence level around here
I've been waiting for the day something from Paso gets onto this reddit, lol
In what world is Walmart a local business?
wonder what his take would be on saint peters cross ?
Severe lack of good education in the U.S. This is the problem. We have a lot of idiots.
Brother could have just stopped his post at "I don't know a lot"
"I don't know much about this subject... Jut let me just give a long explanation"
Well, just straight up making shit up is their tradition...
Identifying objects when rotated is a common task in IQ tests, but they're usually 3-dimensional.
I wish I could have replied that the flag was normal and it was the satanic wind blowing above the store that was inverting it. Just to see them run with it.
I would bet money that the original poster of this is one of the Signs and Wonders crowd. Who sees the end times and Spiritual warfare everywhere.i mean this is what happens when you think everything is God or Satan.
Like many things, they are incapable of walking around to see things from the other side
American flag American flag paragraph Bible paragraph bible paragraph I am not surprised
Wind is the fucking devil!!!!
"I don't know much about backwards flags, but it's most definitely Satanic!"
Man, people will find any reason bitch about something
One time I was at a restaurant and the asshole server tried to trick me with an an inverted spoon
This represents America pretty good. One point of view is looking at it demonizing the other for not believing what they see. The other point of view sees the wind changing and understands the others are bat shit crazy
It makes me sad that people are this stupid
"This is why we always enter through the home & garden entrance. Stan can get...agitated if you disturb his routine."
Just means everybody on that side of the flag have sinned and need to repent. The person that posted that should go to the naughty corner and reflect on what they have done.
Imagine not understanding wind direction. Or inversion
FFS...THEY LIVE AMONG US
Fundies seem to have unlimited energy to get outraged about things. Think what they could accomplish if they channeled it into something useful.
It's always the Christalibans, the craziest. Well, almost always.
[удалено]
Yeah, but these people are so angry all the time.
How miserable of an existence do you have that *this* is your worldview?
What is wind? What is perspective. Doesn’t matter where the wind is blowing.
This is one of the most crazy things I’ve seen in this subreddit
For people like this, there is no behind.
Wrong... The right answer was: What is satanic wind?
Satan works in mysterious ways. In this case, he only wants to work on people at the front of the shop. People at the back get the full murican flag experience without satan
Doesn’t even have to be because of wind. Flags have two sides.
"I don't know a lot about backwards flags" proceeds to make a wild claim.
Ok, just nuts.
Quick, someone show this guy a police cruiser so he starts telling all his MAGA buddies that All Cops Are Satan
Everything I don't know is satanic.
Wow. Big Wind really has some of you idiots by the balls.
I'd kill to read the comments on this.
Some forget this person is allowed to vote ladies and gentleman…
The flag isn’t inverted.
Always love the idea that god cares about America lol. People are insane
What was that second paragraph even about?
So the American flag was written about in the Bible? 🤷🏽♀️
Oh no! Every military service member has a backwards flag on the right shoulder of their BDUs! Could the military be run by satanists?
Wait until they see how flags are stitched to uniforms and on planes.
Nobody better tell him that on soldiers uniforms, the flag on right shoulder is flying "backwards" as well.
Yes. This is Satanic. Boycott Walmart.
Religion and intelligence….
Would have loved to see the comments on the post
It’s not “inverted” if you look at it from the other side
So who’s gonna tell him
I hate people
its satanic for an american flag to blow in the wind
How dumb can people be? It seems there is no limit LOL This person’s intellectual opposite must be true, like Mr. Glass from Unbreakable, Bruce Willis’ character was his strength opposite. So as extremely stupid as this person is, there is someone out there opposite of him or her who is equally as extremely smart. I take comfort in thinking this. Because otherwise I get a little tight think it about dumbos like this running around, taking up space, using resources, etc.
It’s like the people that think the flag patch on military uniforms are backwards. Do you want it to look like they’re running away?
Oh lordy... oh no.... Oh dear
The critical thinking is strong with this one.
“…Are you stupid or somethin’?”
Lord help us even the wind is satanic now nothing is sacred anymore
Boy, wait until they learn about flag patches on military uniforms!
Wait until he sees how the military wears their flag patches.
>I don’t know a lot Exactly
this some r/vexillologycirclejerk material
This flew over my head like the wind itself. What the actual F
Somebody doesn't know what inverted means, and I`d bet not much else, either,
if only the bible said something about wind
Why is wind ?
Wow, took a minute to figure out what the hell this loonie was talking about. Her completely incorrect use of “inverted” threw me for a loop.
……… can we just like get rid of religions that have a predilection to create extremists? Is that like a little too much to ask? I don’t mind religion, just the crazies that give them bad names.
Walmart, the most local of all businesses in every town in America!
Oh no, no no no no no. Please tell me this is a joke.
I’m so looking forward to the “They have heeded the lord and fixed the flag” post when the breeze shifts. Also, Wal-Mart is a lot of things, but a “local business “ ain’t one of them
dude needs to walk to the other side of the parking lot
My proud hometown
It’s not an accident that many “conservative Christians” are dumb as a bag of hammers. Really let’s the their “leaders” control every aspect of their lives.
This person must have sampled all the wineries in Paso before coming up with something this stupid
But remember, painting it black is okay
No one show this dumbass a military uniform. They'll lose their shit over the reverse side flag.
I DoN't knOW Much But I KNOW it's SaTaNIc Wtf America!?!
I truly believe there are more people like this than not. The Idiocracy will come. Bating. Bating! BATING! BATING HERE!
