This is based on the fact that a lot Christians believe this is Gods Country... Same can be said about the government leaders too.

Considering that America sends out Mercenaries that Commit Assassination and other atrocities 2 forward Political Means; And So MANY War Crimes were Committed in Vietnam and NOW Iraq by American Soldiers ; I find it VERY HARD to Understand how ANYBODY could actually Believe that American is God's Country ! ! !
According 2 the Bible "the Whole World is Lying in the Power of the Wicked One"; meaning that Satan controls all the nations of this World; INCLUDING America !
Also the FACT that MOST Churches in America have Flags inside OR Outside of them in ESSENCE Means that these Church's(By Association) are Actually CONDONING these Very Same Atrocities ! ! !

God created the whole world however, it is satan who is ruling at this time (see Rev. 12:9) This will not last though. Rev. 20:1-3, 7-10, 12:12, & 21:1-4 Need I say more.
*Add* When looking at the beauty of of nature, i.e. forests, lakes, wildlife... my dad used to say this is Gods country.

the united states of america wanted its people to have certain freedoms, among them the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and freedom of religion. Read the Bill of Rights, read the Declaration of Indepence--life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
If I am happy being a pagan that is a choice made by me with rights that I was given to do so. i don't have to worry about being tortured or arrested for believing what i believe.
Christians seem to think theirs is the only religion in america, but that just is not true. They think they have to save all us sinners but i personally don't believe in original sin to begin with.
I feel that I am living my life as I should, following the philosophy that everyone has a right to their own opinions as long as they don't push them on me and expect me to agree just because they said so. No, this is not God's country, it's everyone's country and it's high time they remember it.

Hbr 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hbr 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Hbr 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Hbr 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
If you want to see God's Country you will have to look up.

America isn't God's country. God's country is Israel.
Now the LORD had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Gen. 12:1-3
Christ's kingdom isn't of this world ie. the political structure, economics, justice, etc. When the time comes, Jesus renews the heavens and earth according to Is. 65, 66, Rev. 21 & 22 and in doing so brings His Kingdom.

Heavenly lies
Shake hands with an american mercenary and thank him for your freedom of speech, otherwise if you don't support the soldiers, get in front of them. Military activities are government related and have been ordained and put in place by God.
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. FOR THERE IS NO AUTHORITY EXCEPT FROM GOD, AND THE AUTHORITIES THAT EXIST ARE APPOINTED BY GOD. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. FOR RULERS ARE NOT A TERROR TO GOOD WORKS, BUT TO EVIL. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. Rom. 13:1-3

I believe that "America" is the name of two continents, and not a country at all. Therefore, yes, that seems reasonable - a country that does not exist for a being that does not exist.

America has the right to "Freedom from Religion" This means it can have wiccans, atheists ,christians, jews, muslisms, budhists, hinduism,hitlerism, you name it.
So...
God( if your looking at the point of view from christians) would say that it is an "unpure" country, full of "pagans".
Hope it helped!

I don't believe that any country is God's "chosen". His love for mankind is all encompassing. Where is was born and lived his life was a matter of restriction based on less population mobilization.

What version of the Bible was that little gem in? The Bush edition? Or did you hear that on Fox News? This country was supposed to have been founded on the idea of religious freedom.
