Saw this on a bumper sticker: "God" Bless America
Is the owner of that sticker quoting someone? Did somebody famous use the word "God" in blessing our country, and now we have to give him (or her) credit?
Or, possibly this is a subtle use of irony? Like this: "I know that Average Joe is requesting God's blessing on America, but even the suggestion of a single god is so ludicrous, that by simply calling everyone's attention to the word "God" will cuase the occupants of the cars around me to laugh in derision. Most of us are anti-god anyway, so this is a good way to indicate my anti-god status, and have a good laugh at Average Joe's expense." It is possible that there exist bumper sticker authors who are exceedingly clever, and also assume that others around them will understand their cleverness.
But I don't think so.
This is probably just another example of Average Joe unwittingly assaulting his neighbors, and his God with bad grammar.
"Put down the bumper sticker, and no one will get hurt."
