That slogan only proposes seperation of Americans from the rest of the world. It creates a feeling of superiority that encourages hate, and ignorance.
It should be changed to "God bless all humanity".

Did jesus say that he would Bless only a chosen few?

Kenny P, I am surprised that you would say that about the Earth that gives you food to live. How is that goofy? It's goofy for you to discredit my question based on my beliefs being different than yours. Does that show you how God does seperate? First you considered that blessing humanity was a good thing, than your superiority and ignorance took over.

Aussie, I respect you. Please don't assume that without God, that us good atheist people have no morals. It is the preists that molest children, after all!
I am moral without a deity, and my morals don't have to mirror yours or any Christian to be good. To each her own!

I find that Christians disagree only based on the fact that I am not one of you, requesting blessings on all humanity. I don't give a crap if you ask God to bless anyone. My point:
we should all consider that each individual is related, and created equal. I don't care who did the creating!

AUSSIE: IT'S THE CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS WHO WANT TO DO AWAY WITH WELFARE AND OTHER PROGRAMS. MAYBE NOT THERE IN AUSTRALIA. MY GUESS IS, THEY WANT ALL THE CREDIT FOR MISSIONARY WORK! NO AID TO THE POOR IS SUPPORTED BY THE MAJORITY OF CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES!

I agree with you... I mean the whole "god bless this and that" thing is sort of stupid in my opinion to begin with (no offense to Christians).
The best god bless bumper sticker I've seen is "god bless the whole world, NO exceptions". Booyah.

I agree. Lets try this slogan: Bird bless America. No that just does not sound right. I know, Hamster bless America. Nooo that does not ring a good tone either. My little brain is working here, I got it, we will change it completely around to something different like: "We Americans hate ignorance and are superior". That sounds good (better than Hamster Bless America) but I think it is a little to long for a slogan. I know, "We Americans hate Everyone and have swell Atheist". That's Perfect as it is to the point and has no hidden agendas. Do you not agree?

Yes ,. why not ! Let's get rid of the whole God thing ! While we're at it let's get rid of the rule of Law , after all it is based on Christian principals & we don't want that ...
Then when anarchy is the norm we can turn to humanist theories where there are no moral absolutes & whatever an individual thinks is okay is fine ! That'll be fun !
Also , don't forget the Christian & other faiths that prop up the welfare system ...if they didn't exist in our country the system would collapse...I am talking not just of welfare agencies but aged care facilities etc
A country that denies the historical legacy of its' forbears is morally bankrupt ! If you would like to go the way of nations that tested God on matters like this look no further than the Roman Empire that once ruled the world ! It took God out of the equation & look what happened.
Your country , like all of the major Christian Nations , has been blessed beyond description ...let's see if the blessing remains should you continue to slide down the path of moral decay ! Your choice !
edit...I have made no criticism of your personal morals ..read my answer again ! Do you agree that your country , & ours for that matter , are in moral decline ? What do you put that down to? Is that God's fault or man's?

We are superior. Our form of Govt. is superior to all the world.You have the freedom to say what you just said.In Russia,Putin would have KGB breathing down your neck.In Pakistan they would have already slit your throat.When trouble comes who do they call on? The U.S. Every disaster,there we are in full force.We saved Europe and Asia from tyrannical bastards and it cost us 100,000 men.We rebuilt Europe and Japan for billions.And they paid us back NOTHING!
God Bless this wonderful country no matter how many faults it has.
EVERYONE wants into the U.S.A. I don't see anyone trying to leave it! Ask all the amigos on the Southern Borders.
Freedom,ability to make it big no matter what your "European Class" or "Asian Caste".Live where you want ,with who you want.Be whatever religion you want ,or none at all and no one will stone you or cut off your head.We invent and create EVERYTHING! And then watch as the rest of the world counterfits it.
God Please keep on blessing America!!
We have Baseball,Pro Football and the Disneylands.That's enough right there!!!

I don't think your "Goddess" sticker is "goofy". I made one for my car that said "Goddess bless America and the whole World, and I had a picture of the Statue of Liberty on it. (The statue of liberty was designed after a Roman or Greek Goddess of Liberty)

Why should I be asked to abandon my beliefs in order to appease someone in another country?
Do we keep them from asking God for His Blessings?
Where was the outpour of humanity for US during Katrina, the NY attack, our various and massive forest fires, floods ? We import food because we want to and have made political agreements to do so, not because we have to in order to feed the masses. Far more immigrants come here for education and medicine, than our citizens go seeking it elsewhere.
In many ways we are superior, and I have no interest in your anti-America, and anti-God spittle.
You will be back in a few days asking ''where is God", or "why won't God hear me", "where was God when this happened"......................

"God Bless America" isn't propaganda, nor does it encourage separation from the rest of the world. In England, it is "God Bless the Queen", which implies a blessing on the country. I would bet that most, if not all countries have a similar request of blessing from their deities.
There is nothing wrong with any group of people asking for a blessing, and a country is simply a large group of people.
Too, there are prayers asking for god's blessing on the entire population of the world. If you believe in a god, it is natural to ask for blessings.
