From Obama’s speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on September 15, 2010:
“So let me close by saying this. Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. To British and French, to Dutch and Spanish, to Mexican — (applause) — to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land. We didn’t always get along. But over the centuries, what eventually bound us together — what made us all Americans — was not a matter of blood, it wasn’t a matter of birth. It was faith and fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The Preamble to the U.S. Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The word yer lookin' for, avoiding, is God. There. Hope the name God offended the appropriate groups!

I unfortunately know little about the Declaration of Independence and the Founding Fathers (other than some, including Thomas Jefferson, were deists) but I think "Creator" was meant as a deliberately vague and generic term. If they meant God, surely they would have said "God" or "Our Lord" or something more specific. But anyway, I am happy to disappoint you by informing you that, as an agnostic, I am not offended in the slightest by the word "God", "Yahweh", "Allah" or any of its variations. I do believe however that religion and government should be kept as far away from each other as possible (that was the general idea I believe). Religion has no place outside the private sphere in my humble opinion. I have no problem with people believing and practicing their respective religions as long as it is not forced upon people i.e. compulsory prayer in school (there is no law preventing silent prayer as far as I know), adding the term "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance despite it not being there in its original form (a pledge written by a socialist preacher incidentally) and so on.

Serious? Being America was founded as a Christian Nation who wanted religious freedom from England and their Church and taxes. |

There. Hope the name God offended the appropriate groups Sorry, "God" is not my creator. My parents are, however, but they aren't "God". So, Creator would be the word, not God. However, since individuals choose to put those certain unalienable rights to use, Creator really doesn't even need to be mentioned. |

Trust me, if I were at the sermon I would have got up, walked up to him and punched him in his big fat mouth before he would get another word out, and he wouldn't have gotten up for a good 30 minutes.
I'll be damned if someone $hit talks this nation that protects him. |

Wow, blinded are we. Im not blinded, being american, I can just be honest when I look in the mirror,,,,the full sentence was '“God Bless America.” No, no, no. Not “God Bless America”; God Damn America! That’s in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God Damn America for treating her citizen as less than human. God Damn America as long as she keeps trying to act like she is God and she is supreme! ' sounds like sound biblical teaching to me |
