Everytime I see 'God Bless America', I feel mildly annoyed. Mainly because its become the 'trendy' thing to say, but primarily I think about all the people who don't believe in religion/god. Also, when I see it, I immediately think: "Oh, must be a christian fundamentalist. Goodie."...ok...in reality I don't make that judgement, but that thought immediately does flash across my mind.

That's exactly how I feel.

Geez you are quoting me WAY TOO MUCH in your journal! There has to be better stuff to read and quote out there.

Plus, I wanted to add that I 'dribble on' to say that its also because I'm confused and working on the whole 'god' thing, which plays a role in my feelings too.

Its just part of the irony-- they're islamic fundamentalists crying 'allah is great!' and we have christian fundamentalists running around saying 'god bless america'....that was a bit of the thoughts I was also touching on. THAT is one crazy world, when two 'cultures' who believe very similar philsophies very strongly, yet are intent on killing one another. Cain and Abel anyone?

I like the Ishmael view on Cain and Abel though :)

When I hear the "God Bless America" stuff it doesn't bother me any more than any of the other overly trite hypersentimental expressions of patriotism that seem so prominent right now. I can tolerate that stuff however. What bothers me more is the way George W. Bush is portraying this "war on terrorism" in quasi-religious terms. Everytime he talks about it being a battle to eradicate "evil" or it a battle against "evil" it really disturbs me.

I agree with you on that one.

You're losing the war of terrorism, by the religious right?
