RW Bumpersticker: "America Bless God"

[lizzieforkerry]

Saw it this afternoon next to a W '04 sticker. WTF!?!?!?!

[JaneDoughnut]

1. Saw it yesterday

I didn't get it either.

[Katherine2]

11. I've seen it too.

I take it to be that Americans are so presumptous that they think they can bless God, as opposed to God blessing us mere mortals.

I much prefer the one I see in my parking lot at work -- "Dear Lord, protect me from Your followers".

[lizzieforkerry]

12. I took it as being very arrogant also.

Like God needs our blessing, not the other way around.

[Pirate Smile]

2. I saw it over Thanksgiving and had the same reaction. What exactly

is that supposed to mean?

[Deja Q]

3. Up the ante in the religious war.

[Pirate Smile]

5. I was surprised it didn't say "America blessed God by re-electing W".

:puke:

[cornermouse]

7. What it means

If you worship God, God will take care of you. Not necessarily true, but that's what it means.

[blondeatlast]

10. I don't think so; I see it as a false idol.

I'm offended by "God Bless America" stickers too.

Again, the fundie nutjobs who just barely share my Christian beliefs have forgotten to read Matthew.

Is Matthew being left out of current Bible versions?

Mine was printed in 1978, so perhaps so?!

[cornermouse]

24. I said it was not necessarily true.

My own personal theory; you do your best and hope God is merciful.

[blondeatlast]

25. My philosophy as well.

And I believe He truely is to those who sincerely do do their best.

But I believe the idjots who came up with this arrogant, tasteless BS (I made a pun!) have some serious 'splainin' to do!

[evil genius]

4. i refuse to believe that the all powerful

omnipresent omnicient creator of the universe needs the saccarine praise of his creatures and that in the absense of this flattery, he becomes petulant.

[CatholicEdHead]

6. God not the problem

his followers are quite often the problem.

[evil genius]

9. from the devil's dictionary

prayer: to ask that the laws of the universe be anulled on behalf of an intercessor, admittedly unworthy.

[blondeatlast]

8. As a Christian, I find that as offensive as it's possible for a BS to be.

Please tell me this is a joke.

Please...

[Pirate Smile]

13. Sorry, but it is true. It is obviously getting around also.

[blondeatlast]

16. Unbelievable. I can hardly stand to call myself Christian anymore.

These people bear as much similarity to me as Alan Keyes does.

Oh, :puke:

[Anakin Skywalker]

15. No it is NOT a joke.

I have seen this and other similar things too on bumper stickers and other places where people use for slogans.

[Anakin Skywalker]

14. You Can Bless God?

Huh? How would that work? And why would god need your blessings? I don't get it.

[blondeatlast]

18. It would take the wisdom of thousands of Biblical scholars to work that

one out.

Thinking about their logic makes my head hurt BADLY.

[Left Is Write]

21. Yeah. I don't think so.

Sounds like fundamentalist arrogance to me.

[Cha]

17. I say "God Bless The World" and

Fuck w!

[blondeatlast]

20. Now that one I WANT!

I wonder how W and friends are going to react when they meet Saddam and OBL down there (although I don't really believe in Hell, but still...)

[Left Is Write]

23. I like "God Bless The Whole World: No Exceptions"

as an answer to "God Bless America."

[donheld]

19. Makes me wanna smack'em

:spank:

[rucky]

22. these people better pray that there is no god...

or at least that God has mercy for ignorant, prideful a-holes. Othewise, hell will have a bunkhouse ready for these kooks right next to O.J.

[deadparrot]

26. I don't get it either.

I'm glad everyone else is pretty clueless, too; I was afraid I was missing something obvious.

[ikojo]

27. I seem to recall Al Sharpton saying something similar on the

campaign trail this year. He said something to the effect of instead of asking God to bless America, it's time for America to bless God and he then went through a list of ways America could show it is blessing God by taking care of the least among us, healthcare reform, etc
