Please tell me why and when god became such a staunch supporter of the USA. A deity that is supposedly over 2,000 years old and created a universe so vast that only a handfull of people can comprehend, fights for and supports this tiny little nation of just over 200 years on this tiny little planet?
Is it because we founded our nation in the name of god? Well what happened when we fought the British in the Revolutionary War? God save the queen, right? He certainly wouldn't have helped George Washington and his band of traitorous rebels, right?
What if we went to war with another European Christian nation? They were all formed in the name of god before us. Even WWII Germany had more "god seniority" if you will, than we did. Oh, but what they did was considered wrong, correct? What about most of the world now that thinks the USA is wrong in Iraq?
If god is involved, does that mean he let 9/11 happen? Certainly if he can help us fight and kill, he can intervene in matters too?

"God Bless the USA" is really more of a prayer and request than a statement of fact.
Whether He does prefer our country over the hundreds that have preceeded it on this earth and however many others that will follow, well....that is His decision.
Will we know? Not in this lifetime.

i'm guessing that's the Abrahamic god. As for why in basic terms the u . s . a ., that is on account that is their usa. And no, that is not any longer smart because of the fact i do no longer think of an certainly god might "bless" any usa (or person).

it seems as hard as we tried to make it a nation formed under god, we now try to make sure that there is no god in any form of government.
Yet god and government are two separate things and should not be confused. If god had a hand in government of the our officials would be truthful and honest.

No. If the Biblical god really wanted to "bless America", he could have prevented 9/11 from happening in the first place.

Location, location , location, that's how we are blessed, It's hard to invade, and trade goods from Europe and Asia have passed through easily. But seriously every country proclaims their divine providence. it's part of the mystic of nationalism.

If you take a look at our political landscape then even remotely thinking that God blesses us over other nations is pretty far fetched.
Unless - of course - He has a French sense of humor.

I think it is because as a nation we have been truly blessed. Look around at all the things America has that others do not.
