I did. The research has been presented to you. You dismiss it as "numbers".

Is God pleased with the US government?


Well, IF there is a god he must be happy with the whole world or he'd do something about it....

Thus , IF a "god" does exist I don't care what his opinion is.

btw: we can argue history all you want. You nor I can prove the existence of God or the non-existence. That's why faith is required. Just like you said.

I don't know how everything was created. Christianity in particular has sought to provide answers. Remember what I said? Religion was created to explain the unexplainable.
Like you, I don't believe terrorism is the greatest threat to our country either. I am very skeptical of many things I hear or see in the media and I think our country is just as corrupt as any other country. But you are wagering your soul, whether you choose to believe it or not. You said that religion was created to explain the unexplainable. Honestly, I think the notion that "religion was created to explain the unexplainable" is used to explain religion.

Now you're being deliberately disingenuous and inflammatory. If you REALLY don't know the answer to that question, I'd suggest you go back to school and get a proper mainstream education without the trappings of religious bias.

The original question was about whether or not we thought "god" was unhappy with this country. If only people who believe in a magical invisible sky wizard were supposed to answer that question, then it should have been posed that way. I don't believe in any deity, period. Therefore it is impossible for one to be unhappy with anything that is happening anywhere in the universe.

I'm done. You're starting to run in circles. Thanks.

Comment on OP - the purpose of humans on Earth is to create more humans. Just like any other living creature. A secondary purpose is to endlessly debate why we are here.

Given the current state of affairs, I would guess that God is busy elsewhere creating some other creatures on some other planet because He has gotten bored with humans and their endless greed, bickering and pointless wars.

If I could show you a picture of God, would you believe he existed?
