"America, bless god"
what the hell does this mean?

i remember seeing these bumperstickers pop up after jesus punished us with 9-11.

does it mean that we (america) possess infinite grace to have the ability to bestow blessing upon one of the major deities out there?

1. I don't like that, either. I guess it means that we should respect God
but it sounds awful.

2. there's something off about it
pretty much like most of the spew that comes from the homespun types that infest most of this country.

god is omnipotent, omniscient and all that stuff. i thought he was infinite and all that stuff.

3. those stickers make my brain itch
Any God small and weak enough that whether or not Americans give a shit about him/her/it/they/whatever can't really be worth the effort. It's as if I were to wonder what the bacteria in my intestine think of me, except there's a whole lot more difference between a human and an omnipotent being than there is between me and bacteria.
