Doubt it. Other countries have had more gods and more guns.
Great salesmanship made the USA the greatest land in the world.

As far as I know the USA isnt the greatest land in all the world. It took more guts for you to write this stupid question than it does for people to pick up a gun and murder someone else. God has nothing to do with making one country better than one another, he created all things as equal as possible, as far as I know and can percieve most of mankind is just like Satan, they look for their own glory and pronounce they are better than others not thinking for a moment that is going to be what is going to make them fall in due time is self pride, self worship and the belief than they are better than others and even better than god. I was born in the USA but I dont view myself as an American. My family as far back as I can remember came from here, but I do not view myself more fortunate than others. I as many people who live in the USA have to fear for our lives because of the hatred by other nations because of this American Pride you speak of. This is not what God intended for any nation. You only hide behind your computer and your gun, go stand out on the front line with only your pride and see if that gets you any where, go stand out and tell them you have guts, god and a gun and live in the greatest land the USA and see if they give any respect to that. It is time to put away the guns and this self pride and think about every nation, life , and liberty and the pursuit of happiness that everyone world wide is entitled too.

Our founding father's wanted God in our Country,but now it's being taken out of everything.So,that is out of the question.Now to the guts and guns;I'd say guns made this country.Because it didn't take gut's to kill the Native Americans that were here before us.What our fore father's did to them took no gut's,only those who refused to kill had the gut's!And as far as being the "greatest land",yes we are free(to a point),yes we have free speech(to a point).......see where this is heading?Now if we had the free health care and no crime,no homeless,no unemployment, no hunger, then this would be the "Greatest Land"!But do you see that happening any time soon.........

Respectfully i'd desire to disagree, and enable me clarify why. the muse upon which I make this fact is the announcement of Independence. What has made the united states super? The "unalienable rights... life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The signers of the announcement of Independence affirmed that top rights replaced into the main serious ingredient for the recent united states of america. those individual rights delivered approximately "God, guts, and weapons" because of the fact human beings's rights have been respected and upheld because of the fact the main serious element of the recent united states of america. yet another ingredient, tied to individual rights, that has made united statesa. super is capitalism. i do no longer advise the socialist-capitalist economic gadget we are in now, yet genuine, unfettered capitalism. i could advise you study "The distinctive characteristic of Selfishness" and "Capitalism: The Unknown perfect" by utilising Ayn Rand for greater instruction on a real capitalist economic gadget and the belief of individual rights.

Miscellany:
*Only 18% of Americans own passports and bother to travel outside of the US.
* 85% of US soldiers in Iraq believe that they are there to get revenge for 9/11.
* New international student enrollment in US grad schools has decreased by 6%, because of xenophobic post-9/11 US visa restrictions, jacked-up tuition fees and better educational opportunities in the EU and Asia. So no, not everyone wants to come here anymore, because it's become a land of incredibly limited opportunity, and we've lowered our educational standards.

GOD made a Contract with the Pilgrim's.

Not quite. Remembering to get its own genocidal ethnic cleansing program wrapped up before the end of the 19th century really helped.
PS Props to my friends in Finland for scoring the gold or silver in so many categories. Hyva!

The guns. Being objective USA was built by wars.

It is true that industry (steel), forced labor, weapons, and arrogance have made the USA the most powerful nation on the globe.

That would be the Constitution.
You know, that thing that the GOP and the religious right have been attacking for the past 20 years.
