Wouldn't many religious people interpret the phrase to imply that God bless only America?
I don't know. Maybe. Maybe not. What difference could that possibly make?
If you sneeze and I say "God Bless You" does that mean that some religious people might assume that I call upon God to bless ONLY you?
Should I care about that silly interpretation from such people?
Is that something that ought to legitimately make me alter my behavior?
Not seeing it.
Well, let's just suppose that someone who believes such a silly interpretation uses it as an excuse to harm someone else.
It wouldn't be the first time that evil was done in God's name, would it?
Let's say your post made any sense.
Nah. Come to think of it, let's not strain credulity THAT far.
If the day evercomes when saying "God Bless America" or "God bless you" is capable of hurting anybody, maybe we can discuss your thought again.
