Nationality. Pride in my country. If God gets upset by something as little as that then he cannot be a very just God.

Thank you for this question. It helps us all to stop and ask ourselves (what ever our religion): why all of this need to pretend that God is on some nation's "side"? Isn't that what all nations do in every conflict? Don't they all claim that God is with them? Are we mature enough as a global civilization to recognize that any God worth our worship cares for us all equally? Any god who would pick favorites among his children, or, punish those who didn't understand would be no real God at all, but only a small nationalistic god created by frightened human beings.

Religion is, basically, a form of worship which includes a system of religious attitudes, beliefs and practices that usually involve belief in God or a number of gods. That being said, I echo the words of the apostle Peter at Acts 5:29: "We must obey God as ruler rather than men." That is to say, when a law or command of a man or a nation conflicts with that of God's law or command, it is God I obey.

Put God first before anything else. My religion is the manifestation of my relationship with God, so it should follow that nothing i do must put my country or coutrymen to harm. Otherwise, religion first before nation. Would i pledge allegiance to a nation plagued with so much corruption? i dont think so. my religion should serve as a guidebook to all decisions i make in life.

Religion today must be religion for all mankind.
The interest of mankind includes the interest of nation, it is not the reverse.
The purpose of the One True God for today is invincible.

When I die God will judge me not my president/prime minister etc. So God will always come first.
One must obey their faith but also do what is respect the laws of the land they live in, if they don't like it they can move the world has grown so small nowadays it's simple enough.

If we're so called made in his image, how could he become upset at ANYTHING we do? By definition, he would have done the same.
