" Americans have murdered over one million innocent Iraqis and called it the peace effort.

He kind of does has a point on those four, but the rest is just his usual BS.
I think the better question would be why we would want the blessing of a bigoted, voyeuristic, omnicidal narcissist in the first place.
@LDM:
Davie's idea of a woman "dressing like a prostitute" includes wearing a tutu or pants.
As for the first and final bullet points you quoted, they make no sense as points against us from a biblical perspective. The first makes no sense because half the Old Testament (after genealogies) is nothing but story after story of the mass slaughter of entire tribes and cities for the sake of looting and slave-taking on Yahweh's orders. As for the latter point, a good number of the Old Testament's "heroes" are such -- some in part and some in whole -- because they abused the living fuck out of legal, cultural & verbal technicalities to work people over for everything they were worth and secure positions of power & wealth. Usually followed up by more mass murder.
The only one that makes sense is the one about not striking your children. In some situations just letting them live is lenient by biblical standards.
Responding even on your own level and your own terms, its pretty obvious:
Read your bible. God said he would spare Soddom if at least a handful of righteous people lived there. The US, by your definition, has at the very least millions of righteous people living in it, therefore its likely to be perfectly ok.
Here's a tip - try to make arguments which at the very least are consistent with your own mumbo-jumbo, let alone ours.
That's right, why should a God bless one country over the others? Why would a God be political?
Here's a hint: it wouldn't be concerned with such human dumbassery, if it actually existed.
Americans have kept pregnancies going, despite being unwed, and called it choice.
Americans have tolerated people dressed in clothes of mixed fabrics, and called it choice instead of a sin.
Americans have exploited the poor and called it capitalism.
Americans have embraced people cutting their hair and beard, and called it an alternative lifestyle.
Americans have failed to aid the poor and sick, even though Jesus told them to, and called it nasty socialism.
Americans have taught children basic Biology and called it solid education.
Americans have murdered quite a few Iraqis and called it a peace effort; thank Dubbya for that!
Americans have taught your sons to dress like prostitutes and called it fashion.
Americans have neglected to stone unruly children to death and called it building self-esteem.
Americans have bought power and called it politics, thank the Tea Party for that (among others).
Americans have committed idolatry and called it The Republican Party.
Americans have bowed in idolatrous worship of graven images (The American Flag), calling it patriotism.
Americans have ignored criminal insider trading by congress, calling it soft corruption. Again, the Teabaggers are partly to blame for this.
Americans have stolen from the poorer Americans and called it business.
Americans have coveted their neighbor's possessions and called it capitalism.
Americans have polluted the air with toxic waste and called it capitalism.
Americans have produced and indulged in "Reality shows" and called it entertainment.
Americans have ignored the lack of censure of pedophiles in the Bible, and called it religion.
Why should God bless America?
Merely the bold one ought to make him look at some other country...

These all make sense. I am gonna rail right against anyone agreeing with the "women dress like prostitutes" thing, though - women are allowed to be sexually free nowadays and that's a good thing.
So, apparently, America is a hive mind, where the mistakes of a few are applied to over 300 million people. Outside of Stewarts trademark assholery, it's an all too common attitude.
Okay, I have to admit, Davey's got a point on five of them:
"Americans have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.", "Americans have abused power and called it politics.", "Americans have stolen from each other and called it business.", "Americans have murdered over one million innocent Iraqis and called it the peace effort." and "Americans have polluted the air with profanity and called it free speech."
However, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and all the rest is his usual intolerance for pretty much everything in existence. And complaining that people won't tolerate his intolerance.
> Why should God bless America?
I don't think he should bless America, because I don't think he exists.
You're getting it. Now get the rest of the fundies to cut out the "Christian nation" shit and this country will be a lot better off.
(though I too would like a lot less corruption in business and politics and no more wars of aggression.)

Why should Goomy bless America?
@ Scratch: "Jeez, David, what isn't a sin to you?"
Child molestation, for starters.
Why should God bless America?
Because of great gun wielding Americans like George Zimmerman and officer Darren Wilson, why else?
Rumor has it, God has a "2nd Amendment" bumper sticker on his car, a '71 Dodge.
You know Dave, you don't have to live here...oh wait, I guess moving is kind of a hassle for you, what with having to make sure you are a set distance away from schools and introducing yourself to all your neighbors.
women can choose to terminate THEIR pregnancy but not that of another person.
women choose their own garments, blame the parents for the way children dress.
OK, now do the French, Greek, Irish, Brits, Germans, Japanese, Chinese....
Humans are human, and assholes are assholes about it. Mote, beam, STFU.
Edit @ Checkmate: Everybody knows that God drives a Chevy Silverado!
*Americans have turned their backs on their own children for being "unnatural" and called it God's will
*Americans have tortured animals for their meat and products and call it supply and demand
*Americans have denied their children access to good literature, movies and games and called it Protecting their innocence
*America has forced an entire generation into debt for jobs that no longer exist and call it Bootstrap theory
*Americans have turned their back on ongoing slavery, racism, sexism, rape culture, homophobia and transphobia and called it "not my problem"
Some good, most bad, and this one I'm not sure of :
Americans have produced and indulged in pornography and called it freedom of expression.
It's rather true, but it is a bad thing? The answer is more complicated than it sounds. Pornography reduces crime rate, but, at the same time, sends a nasty message. Plus the life expectancy of porn actors is rather low, with a lot of sex-related diseases & suicides.
Mixed blessing at best.
So which is it. Are you a socialist or a capitalist? Since you're against business and welfare apparently.
Also the "Discipline" he's claiming to talk about is likely the beating your child kind. Which I'd think a pedo like him would get off on. Though science says corporeal punishment of children is neutral to bad, so yeah.
How do you kill the unborn?
Because prohibition worked so well in the past.
Fair point.
Not sure if embraced is the right word to use here.
Nice propaganda.
.....
Excellent point.
So go back to the Victorian Era?
While some have, I don't think most have stopped spanking or grounding yet.
Again very good point
Eh.
I think those are Catholics, not Americans, but good on you for noticing hypocrisy.
My my my you are making some good points in this drivel.
I would want to agree with you, but would need an elaboration.
At least you are more of the bible seriously than other Christians.
But it is poofter cunt.
Once again it is.
I don't even get this
At least he is better than most.
Americans have killed native Americans and called it justified
Americans have raped and enslaved people in the name of the church
Americans have exploited everyone in the name of Christianity
American churchs are gayer then a frisco gay off.
American churchs are parasites, leeching off the people and system.
David J. Stewart is a proven and admitted child molester that somehow thinks he can preach morals, only in America.
American churchs LIE ALL THE TIME.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
