I know reading is difficult for you when you're trolling (because you pretend not to get a point), so I'll just requote for you:

'...a grumpy atheist, says 'oh, man, you're saying God Bless America but not other countries, by default. You're selfish and mean to all the other countries.'

Here's the connection that you failed to make:

The grumpy atheist says this:

"oh, man, you're saying God Bless America but not other countries, by default. You're selfish and mean to all the other countries"

The religious person actually meant this:

"The hope is that America, with their 'charitable leanings' will share what God blesses them with."

Contrast the two points and enjoy the point.

There are multiple direct readings of the words. Since the rest of your post makes it clear that you're trying not to be understood in the first place. I'll be the adult here and leave this conversation.

No there is not. Sure, if you want to pretend that there are other meanings, feel free. Common sense dictates quite a clear and understandable meaning. Case in point: I showed our conversation, in screenshot form (instant message), to two of my employees (they have no idea who each person is) up to that post you made about not knowing.

They meaning was quite clear to them. Oh, and they could not figure out which poster was me until I told them. 馃槃

The problem is you pretending to not understand when meanings were quite clear. I can post anything and you'll quote it, respond to it, and troll it. No matter what: the only deciding factor is whether or not you feel like trolling me at the moment.

i remember as an early teen when my school first started exposing us to world events and the harsh realities of life in other parts of the world, i thought that it was quite evident that our god was the correct god and that if those other countries had any sense at all they would start praying to the right god.

Were you born into a Christian evangelical family?

Do you still believe this, or has harsh reality opened your eyes?

Which God is the right one?

Yahweh - the temper tantrum throwing God?
Allah - The sadistic deity with a personality and mental disorder?
Ahura Mazda - The original 'one and only' God warrior thing constantly in a battle with evil things of the universe?
Any of thousands Hindu Gods?
Jah - The pot smoking God?

nope, catholic. and i was never highly religious. i'm not sure why i thought that way, i think it was just a poor attempt at rationalization.

no, i got over that one pretty quickly. i was about 14 when i thought of that, by about 16 i think was an atheist.

To me, that is just one delusion for another.

maybe. i've tried to rediscover some sort of spirituality a couple times since then but it never seems to stick.

i'm not a strict 'there is no god' atheist anymore, but for the most part i think observable reality has enough in it to keep me occupied.

I agree.

I agree. I want a much much longer lifespan (300-10,000 years), but I agree. 馃槃

Easy thread.

Why would a true God have a name?

The founding fathers of America worshipped God the Father.
