Does "God Bless America" bug you?

[trgfbv]

I don't know about others, but for me, I just think its unhealthy to have God mentioned on legal tender. Clearly it is in the dollar that we have placed (misplaced?) our trust, not God.

I don't believe in the Christian God, but if I did I would consider it blasphemous to use his name in this way.

As for 'God bless America' specifically? Meh. I personally think that if God exists, he'd be more impressed with actions benefiting others than words unquestioningly seeking favor for a single nation. But if that's the way Christians want to talk to their God, they should suit themselves.

It is offensive when hypocritical bible thumping unchristian jerks use it. You know, the guys who go against every teaching of Christ and selectively adopt certain parts of the Bible which suits their monetary scams and political ploys. The same kind of people who go against the principles of the Constitution but wear patriotism on their sleeves. I am referring to the social conservative Republican pr!cks and their idiotic and bigoted followers.

A request, particularly of a deity, would include "please". Otherwise, it's an order. "Please take out the garbage" is a request. "Take out the garbage" is an order.

Asking God to do something isn't like ordering a sandwich. God does what he wants whether you want it or not. No need to beg.

Damn, you're dumb as hell.

But it's OK to command, eh?

Anyway, thanks for confirming that God doesn't intervene at man's request, that prayer serves no purpose.

[Freedom&Liberty]

You can ask for anything you want, but no mere mortal can command God to do anything. I you get what you want, can you prove that prayer wasn't behind it?

Only a dumbass would condemn something he clearly doesn't comprehend. You're very ignorant about many things.

[Chachma v'Oz]

Wow. Challenge = condemn in your mind? Aren't you a the little Christian soldier.

You're right about one thing; I have little experience with blind faith.

Thank you for proving my post right.

Retarded dumb ass comment aside, can you or ChaCha show me where Jesus or the constitution state that government should be used as a charity to feed and clothe individuals?

As for the Constitution, it is right besides the place where government can invade other countries preemptively, wage unnecessary wars, where you cannot smoke part, two gay people cannot marry, where our taxes can go to fund Israel's military industrial complex and so on.


As for Jesus:He help the poor and the sick. He did not tell the lepers to fluck off and buy unaffordable insurance. If Jesus was a conservative, he would have been a heartless jerk and a villain.

Those things aren't in the constitution either. Want to try again?

Jesus was an individual who helped the poor and the sick. He didn't depend on government. Why can't you be like Jesus?

There is no commandment to build the largest most expensive bureaucracy in the world in order to save your heartless ass the effort of actually doing something to help the poor.

There are a lot of things Jesus and the Constitution did not pronounce themselves on. Did either of them mention whether people should be allowed to own automatic weapons? No. Yet I'm assuming you support that people do so?

See, the thing is, most of us don't feel we need to live our lives exclusively by the letter of manuals written hundreds - and thousands - of years ago.

IMO ,the slogan should be:In Rhythm And Blues We Trust.

I agree, and what a GREAT song/recording!

When I lived in Alabama, I was tempted (but lazy) and I almost did this:

God does what he wants whether you want it or not. No need to beg.

You know, you may be right about that.

[Chachma v'Oz]

Thus my challenge of divine intervention.

[garyd]

Intervention may happen whether one wishes it or not and it may not come in a form of which you approve. God has the ability to say no as well as yes. If you seek to glorify yourself don't expect any help from God.

When did I mention a religion? You aren't worthy of challenge.

No one is forcing you to. Why do you feel the need to force new manuals down the throats of the current crop of humans?
