In a letter to Haworth from J.H. Birks on October 11,1941 he says, "The lower ones (windows) to our Father and Mother are beyond criticism, and the Upper Seven Circles again I think are splendid, but there has been criticism of the lower panels being too bright. Do you think it would be wise to experiment with a dark glass outside to subdue this effect?"

And yes, these things piss God off because he's a jealous God..... They are a type of short circuit terminating at an imposter, or an alternate God, in this case the "Queen of Babylon" aka Whore of Babylon aka Queen of Heaven, or in the case of Isis/Osiris-Horus, the Egyptian trinity. They are all a form of idolatry in violation of the first and greatest commandment of love God above all, having no other Gods before Him.
Let it be noted here that you are speaking of *your* concept of God, not mine, and not everybody else's. My God is not "jealous", because jealousy is a human emotion, and one of frailty and negativity. My God is above such things, and is not as a child having a temper tantrum.

The pinecone and the maple leaf are probably just references to Canada. I think that you are off the garden path with those.
Let me put it this way. If you had a wife, destined for you and you alone, and your heart is filled with love for her, would you be jealous if she were to start chasing after other men? (in this case, false idols of any kind before the one God).

This is a fallacious argument because obviously you cannot establish who is the "one God". You have chosen to believe that the Hebrew tribal deity is the "one God", probably because you were raised in a society that taught you this. Had you been raised in Persia, you would probably be telling us that Allah was the "one God", and if you had been born by the Ganges, you'd tell us that Brahma is the "one God".
The Hebrew mythology, as put forth in the Bible, contains some really good stuff, but also some really bad stuff. Their concept of God was not always highly elevated, often portraying God as an idealized human, with human weaknesses, such as jealousy.
