Why God, Why?

I've been tossing around all these questions about christianity that came mostly from Alex's posts, but one that triggered me about that subject was Mitt Romney's speech, yesterday, when he said "God has chose America to lead".  And we know for every plus there is a minus.  Here then are some views, questions, about that statement and some thoughts about articles posted on this blog.


If America is so important to God, just what the hell was God doing for thousands of years of human history before America was invented, biding his time?

If America is meant to lead and not be a nation of followers, why doesn’t he help our economy improve, lower the unemployment rate, stop home foreclosures, and smite our enemies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen?

Why does he continue to allow manifestly inferior men to become congressmen and presidents?

Do you think the all knowing, all-seeing, omnipotent creator of the universe has nothing better to do than sit in Heaven and root for one nation to triumph over another in some venal quarrel?

If God favors us, what have all the other nations of the earth done to make him disfavor them?

Does it seem likely that God prefers the only nation that ever used nuclear weapons against other human beings over like places like New Zealand, or Fiji, or Belize, who harm no one?

Why would God like fat, coarse, belligerent Americans — which would include grown men who wear football jerseys and support every war the US fights, regardless of whether it is just or not — over the peaceful Laplanders or the Inuit?

I have been wondering those very same questions my friend.  And, it seems very odd indeed for Romney to make those kinds of statements.  Are we now God's chosen people?  If anything God has done it is abandon us or maybe He is waiting for us to abandon ourselves???  Who knows what is on God's mind?  I don't.  Do Americans demonstrate Godly behavior that has caused God to favor us?  Maybe Americans are in a form of bondage now because of their attitudes and treatments towards the rest of the world...Alex

The last thing we need is a politician to tell us what God wants. If God chose America to lead then he must be very disappointed in our response. Romney places the blame on Obama's presentation of us as a nation to the world. The problem is Obama doesn't have a nation behind him to back up that statement. We have been going the so called "wrong" direction for awhile now, and we cannot blame our ills on the government or especially a particular leader at the time. We can only blame our own will as a people. If we are failing at education, health, and temperment; and only succeeding in greed and power then there is a good chance it does not represent God's wiLL. When it does, then we will be a great nation.
