Topic: God bless America

[Mooning Freddy]

Well, does anyone else feel like the phrase is being overused? 
It's supposed to be a blessing that supports faith and freedom, but it's been used so often in war movies sarcastically by people who try to justify their crimes by saying it, that it gets like saying "we can't be wrong; God is on our side".

In fallout 2 the self-titled President of USA, controlling not much more than a super-fortified oil rig, in response to your question "President of America? WHAT America?"  says:
"The United states of America. It still exists, you know. God bless America". That is so ironic that it's simply genius.

Just my thoughts, hehe.

Near as I can tell, it seems the phrase has been used more lately as a jab against America than as a patriotic mantra for America.  Then again, that's just my experience.

I haven't heard it that much, but it does annoy me when I do hear it.

Yeah it's entirely overrated and that fact of the matter is: God doesn't takes sides when it comes to his children. He doesn't play favorites and that is THE universal truth. However America, other war-like nations and even the Roman catholic church says otherwise. It's just humanity's stupid ego in top play and it's out of control. No wonder Earth is such a mess right now.

I think you're just jealous.

Deal with it.

Damn straight. It's easy for non-Americans to misinterpretation American customs, and covet American freedoms. God bless America.

Someday people would say, "God bless our planet Earth."

[Gunlord]

I never knew you were so patriotic, Uzo.

Captain America was a good movie. The technology used to shrink Chris Evans worked pretty good, and he did a good job as Steve Rogers. Kudos to Hugo Weaving for a great portrayal of Red Skull.

He will be excellent in Avengers. God Bless America!!

Satan thinks like a man, but God thinks of Eternity.

[Slayer]

I don't think there is a God, so the phrase doesn't do much for me religiously.

Still, I can relate to its secular meaning: that it will outlast the tests of fate. I will say that I hope my country and the unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will prosper for future generations.

I don't think there is a God

that doesn't matter, cuz God believes in YOU!

[thernz]

I think we are all God...

We all bless America.

[Pemburu Vampir]

God bless all His creations.

[Highwind Dragoon]

No.

Wrong.

Deal with it.

The Romans and British that that god(s) were on there side, and look what happened to their empires.

"But time flows like a river, and history repeats..." from the secret of mana intro.

Oh, btw Uzo, ancient egypt lasted for over 2,000 years, china even longer to this day. This country hasn't even hit the 500 year mark yet.
