Why does it seem so hard to see that America,a nation that {at least started out} being Christian,is the one being the most blessed?
On the opposite side of the planet (from where he lived)is where all of the most prosperous and blessed people live.
Doesn't that show the world that the God of the "bible" is blessing those that aknowledge him?
I'm asking a serious question here,not trying to preach or convert. But, look around!

The people of America have a collective conscientious of prosperity.Whereas the people in the region where Jesus was born have a collective conscientious of poverty and violence.The thoughts of man do indeed manifest into reality.Some might suggest our prosperity is because of this nations resources. I would not agree. Look at Japan. No resources to speak of yet very prosperous.

America is the most blessed? What planet are you living on, with have one of the highest rates of murder, obesity is rampant, Americans are so vain they get the most plastic surgery out of any nation, the country is currently in a constant state of fear etc etc. I'm pretty sure people living in Finland are much happier.
You need to look around, you are probably one of those people who has never left this country and yet seems to think it is the best place on the planet. Don't confust your nationalism with reality.

It really depends one your version of blessed... which seems to be materalistic. Spiritual enligtenment is way more important than having a crappy tv, if you wake up and are alive then you are blessed. We are not promised tomorrow today. God would not "bless" one group of people more than the rest. Finacial gain is based off of hard work, strategic planning and marketing not divine intervention- minus possibly lottery winners. As a whole America seems "blessed" in materialistic ways but the majority of this nation is in poverty and will die in debt, not to mention a small precentage of this nation truly knows God and worships Him properly so in this life they may again seem "blessed" but it is after death that really counts

God blesses those that do the will of the Father not ones that just aknowledge him.Not all who says Lord Lord will enter the gates of heaven but those that do the will of my Father. Quote the Bible.

The Bible itself tells of the future or end times. If I'm not mistaken it's in the book of Ezekiel 7:1-27. It tells of how Israel and the middle east have and will continue to suffer.

No argument here!
But the cause of prosperity in our nation is not being a wholly Christian nation, but because of the USA's political alliance and protection of Israel.
Part of the Abrahamic Covenant are these words of Jehovah:

I think the flaw in your reasoning is your assertion that America is more prosperous than the holy land BECAUSE America is christian and Israel is not. There might be (and are) many reasons for this which you are not considering.

Correlation does not imply causation. America has the highest rate of teen pregnancies. Does that mean being a "Christian nation" causes that?
