Our President said "May God continue to bless America"
Isn't that bad?

 Whether you believe in God or not, it should be viewed only as a reference for HOPE. I can't understand why non-believers get so out of sorts, not looking at it as such. Why not add an Insert belief here __________ thing when the word God is used. But hey that's just me, my kid does her morning pledge to the American Flag, the Christian Flag and the Bible, none of which will ever be changed at her school.

Its awesome what he said, we need God's blessing always, ecspecially now. Bush is a very faithfull man and I applaud him for it, its exactly what we need after the pitifull excuse for a man we had in office last.

Seriously, who fucking cares?
I'd say probably 80-90% of our country bases beliefs off religeon. Fuck the other 10-20 % who are "offended" by it. I'm not pro or anti religeon. I'm somewhere in the middle as a "lost sheep" if you will, but I'm not going to say that the President fucked up his speech by putting "God bless" in it. "God Bless America" has been one of the biggest patriotic "catch phrases" for quite some time now. Why the problem now? Just my $.02. |

WHOA there, i never said that he fucked it up, if i am who that is directed at. But, with the "separation of church and state" which is complete bullshit, i find it amusing that religion is such a huge part of politics, as much as it shouldn't be. I'm nor pro or anti religion either, i too consider myself one of the "lost sheep", but there should be a boundary somewhere..

As long as he has the best interest for America in mind, that's all that really matters. Of course, the fact that he will rid us of a few arabs is a good thing also. May God* bless America!
* God may or may not be referring to the religious entity.

It concerns me that religion and politics get mixed together. Just look at the countries we are dealing with right now. I believe that they are all goverments who have some sort of religious base. That is a tool they use to suppress the people of there respective countries.

Yes, separation of church and state is the "law". But when dealing with issues such as war and politics, those in power have to consider to moral fabric, beliefs, goals, and ideals of it's citizens. As a whole, this country is a Christian nation...and those that are not are generally peaceful people who cling to the same principals of peace, freedom, and humanity as Christians. Therefore, the "church" doesn't necessarily get involved in the day to day operations of politics...but the morals and ideals that make up the "church" become a part of critical decision making and deplomacy. |

hmm..Thats where everyone seems to have gone wrong we are NOT simply a "christian" nation, so dont say we are. our nation is a conglomeration of all sorts of religions, and there is no way that we should disregard what anyone who isn't of christian beleif thinks. Politics and religion are on two seperate tables, and should be left that way. its stupid to say just bc the predominance of our nation is christian , we can forget what the other people who live here think. just seems childish to me.

I highlighted the fact that there are those people in this country who are not Christian, but those who are not support the same ideals such as peach and freedom that all Christians believe in. Peace and freedom is preached in Islam for example only followers of Islam...Islam commands tearing non-believers limb from limb and anything else violent to destroy all others. Christians preach peace towards others...do unto others as you would like to be treated. When the Bible talks about love and peace, it is speaking of all people. In Islam, it only preaches love and peace toward Islam followers. My point is: peace, freedom, and general love of mankind is a principal that is deeply imbedded into our country's democratic ideals and deplomacy. That comes from our roots as a God-fearing country. It can't and won't change overnight. So don't ask for the USA to forget about God...when that happens the earth will burn in the fires foretold in Revelation (go read it sometime). Further, I never said we should forget about what anyone who is not a Christian says. I have plenty of friends who are not Christians (yet) and I listen to what they say. Example: I'm assuming you are not a Christian (if you are, we should talk because you have a few misconceptions), yet I am still sitting here having a civil discussion with you...not ignoring you like you indicated I would in your post. Lastly, I think you misuse the word religion. The connotation of the word "religion" implies strict practice of faith, one ideal, one set of morals...in essence a very narrow minded meaning. In fact, that is not what we are arguing here. The term "Christian faith" is a rather broad term...many different denominations fall under this umbrella with somewhat different ideals on interpretations of the Bible...each of these are often called different religions. But the underlying principles are the same...peace, freedom, love toward others, etc. These are the underlying principles of our country and like it or not they come from a backbone of Christian faith in this country. |

No thanks, lol. What I meant is this. Believers/christians tend to say what you said in your previous post ("I can't understand why non-believers get so out of sorts when a reference to God is made") The only reason you don't get out of sorts is because the reference made is about a deity you serve and believe in. My point is this, if he had replaced God with Satan, every Christian in America would be ready to hang him. See what i'm saying? It's always great when others agree with you but I believe the leadership of this country needs to take a neutral stance on religion by leaving it out of the politics. Of course christians wouldn't agree with me on that topic and they won't until we end up with a Satanist as president or a follower of Islam, etc. |
