Godless America, land that I love The idea that the singer is speaking to the PEOPLE - who should stand beside and guide her government, and make all appropriate uses of technology, which among other things provides light from ceilings, if nothing else... |

I have to admit I cringe just a little bit when I hear people sing "God Bless America" because it excludes nonbelievers - but doesn't your parody do the same thing, only from the opposite direction? -Joe Offer- |

And no, I wasn't meaning inclusivity, Joe, this is something an atheist can sing ALONG with the theists, and still be patriotic. Chances are nobody would even notice. How about Lessed are the Meek? Or - even better - after a sneeze, can you say Less you? |

All you people are so FOR freedom of religion that you have turned it into freedom FROM religion. A little bit of reverse bias except that you guys would never admit to it as usual. GOD bless America! GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember that. |

I'd kick Max in the balls too. That's acceptable behavior. I am not catspaw49 though- I am catspaw50. Get it? |
