God Bless America?

"Wow- we have a responsibility to our Founding Fathers and as Christians to vote and participate to protect the God given commandments and liberties of freedom which are being “legislated” away. I hope every American learns our true history, fights to bring prayer back into schools, works to revitalize charity and proclaims loudly, GOD BLESS AMERICA!"


Statements like this really bother me. If your allegiance is to God, it should be to nothing else - not a president or a country. You shouldn't need permission to pray or a charity set in place to help someone. Also, why should Americans be blessed? Simply for being American, obviously. We deserve the blessing because we earned the right to be born into this country (those folks across the border definitely did not). We earned it with our greedy and apathetic behavior. We earned it by sticking our nose where it doesn't belong and killing innocent people. My point is that to assume we should be blessed over another country because we are American is asinine. I'll assume God isn't going to categorize us in Heaven by our nationality - who knows though, maybe He will and we'll get in first...but probably not.
