Doesn't offend me. It's just a jingoistic slogan. It would be better to pull a Tiny Tim though.
 
Salaam,

Check out the evangelican website godhatesamerica....

Is that any more offensive that god loves america

It is just man desire.

that is why we always say Inshallah...

Do you find it offensive when people say "God Bless America"?

It strikes me as overly nationalistic and divisive and not very "good". If people were truly good, I'd figure they should be saying "God Bless us, every one". Do people really think that God (whichever they believe in) cares to push their country over others? Its like those silly people who thank god for winning a baseball game, etc.

I don't find any country that asks for God's blessing to be offensive. By asking for a blessing, that doesn't mean whoever is doing the asking is at the same time asking God to not bless anyone else. I seriously doubt God has a limited number of blessings available, or takes one away from somewhere to give it someplace else.
 
Hi.
It actually depends how a person would say it, if they put a sotty face on then i will take it offencive but like i said it depends.
Buh Bye.

theoretically no, BUT
it has come to be a support-our-president-and-our-hideous-foreign-policy-and-support-our-troops (which for some reason never means bringing them home)- jingle. so yes, it does offend me. there is something about hyper-patriotism that is just plain scary.
 
The only people who would be truly offended by this are those looking for something to be offended by.
