God Bless America & Curse our Enemies

We went the the Peace March in DC this past weekend, and there were very very few counter protesters there (which makes sense - who'd really want to be labelled the opposite of peace, lol)
Anyway, I only saw a couple of signs from "the other side" and this is the one that really hit me.

God Bless America & CURSE our Enemies

Do people really believe in such a vindictive god? Even with my RC upbringing, somewhere under it all, I always thought he was a forgiving kind of god.... does this guy really pray to God to curse other human beings?....and I got thinking, what if that person has children? He'd have to be teaching hatred & intolerance.....how could he not recognize the influence he has over his children, or not care that he's breeding hate?

Am I way outside the mainstream here? This was a few days ago, and I'm still troubled by it.

I would be troubled also. I can't sat God bless America.
I say god bless the planet. The latter has no meaning for me.

I have this as a HUGE Poster in my office at work and I bought it (and other items) at:

www.northernsun.com

This is pretty cool website with lots of varied items for sell. They make a lot of political statements; they sell posters, stickers, etc.

One might find some of thier items offensive, however, there are so many other redeeming items that they make up for that! At least, IMO, they do.

YIKES! :=O How is that any better than those terrorists who kill for their religion today? They curse all who don't believe as they do, and believe killing them, bombing them is the way to go. Seems like we should have learned some of this lesson with 9-11, instead of letting that sick mentality get inside of us, too. :-\
