Personally, I was never really that impressed. I propose changing it to something more in keeping with the current spirit of our nation.

how about "Onward Christian Soldiers"

Honestly? Well, it is decent, but there is the whole thing about a battle, with, of course, the flag flying high at the end.

From a comedic and somewhat disgusting perspective, yours sounds closer to being right :(

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!

Refrain

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.

At the sign of triumph Satan?s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell?s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

Refrain

Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

Refrain

What the saints established that I hold for true.
What the saints believèd, that I believe too.
Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold,
Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled.

Refrain

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ?s own promise, and that cannot fail.

Refrain

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honor unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing.

Refrain

I'm trying to find a song with more references to Christianity, but i can't find any. I think this song is perfect since our country is 101% Christian. This is the song we need to get our Christian values back in the American people's head and stop the moral degeneration of our society.

I personally think "this land is my land" would be a much better national anthem. It discusses major parts of America, it is not about war, and a lot less people would screw it up while singing it.

Replacing the anthem is unncecessary. War is what has made America great so it is only fitting we have our anthem be about that subject. We should, however, modify the anthem just like we did with the pledge, so it has references to God. Maybe about how God protected the Star Spangled Banner. That would make Americans more patriotic and more Christian.

Are you for real? How does making Americans more Christian make them better. How does God make people more patriotic?

If you have to ask that question, then you have already forgotten what it really means to be an American. I suggest you take a good hard look at yourself. You probably won't like what you find.

Are you kidding?

It's a proven fact that Christians have more morals than non-Christians, and especially more than Atheists. A more moralistic society can only be good for America, with less birth control use, less nipples on TV, etc.

And it is a cycle, because when people are more Christian, and they hear the lyrics of the national anthem recanting how God protected the flag, they will know that God protects and watches over America, and speaks to our Dear Leader, so it will be their civic and religious duty to support America.

Nice personal attack. That statement you made has no shread of evidence, reasoning, or logic. In fact, it basically said nothing whatsoever.

It all makes sense now. You can't be an atheist and a patriot.

Oops I'm sorry that's incorrect. I will pray that God will give you a more open mind. The difference between you and me is that I believe that Christianity isn't the only way to Faith, and you do. I've been reading your other posts - do you ever post anything constructive? (I would define constructive as an idea based on fact, with reasoning or logic putting the facts together).

You also, do you have any evidence/logic/reasoning/religious support for this? Nice to know that you think anybody who doesn't agree with you is an atheist. Too bad you're wrong.

We are a nation established under God, and after a long period of wandering in the wilderness we have come home with a President and Congress that is controlled by God fearing people. We are sending our forces across the world to do God's will and defend Christianity from the Muslim Hordes. How is it not logical that our Anthem be changed to something more in keeping with this new spirit.

I've always been partial to the old Soviet anthem.

Yea, we know you march to the same tune as Stalin and the other pinkos :)

Did I mention how much I like La Marseillaise?
