These resent hurricanes and other disasters and rebellions come because of faith and the lack of faith in God and His provisions , where the people praying to God are asleep or mixed up with the crazy things going on

LOL it's called Hurricane Season combined with global warming.

Thank the human species for the latter. These increasing sized storms are as predicted by the climate scientists.

To see these events as you do is terribly misinformed.

No. The US had been great because it was founded on the values of liberty. As with any country that does not treasure liberty it will demise.

What was the purpose of the hurricanes that swept this land before humans lived here then?


And why do hurricanes come every year, no matter what?

The only "powers" influencing and directing AmeriKKKa are evil, dark and hateful.

And those reasons can be perfectly explained via science/logic/psychology/etc., not God.

I'm a Christian. No. God loves all nations and people. The US is not unique.

The men governing this country are not naughty four year olds. I see how these men want to promote themselves as such. I also see how other men wish to relieve men in power of their responsibilities. They are responsible for their actions. God has nothing to do with it.

Lately I am hearing fundamentalist ideologues telling us God wants certain people in power. These are the same religious leaders willing to deny their brothers and sisters a place in this country.

These leaders fear mongering in the name of God.

What makes you say this? Do you have any evidence for this? What would be the purpose in a god specifying a particular fate for a country? Will another country at a different time be guided? How would we tell?
Typical for this forum. People assert some sort of divine influence, but don't know why they are doing so.

Nope. The fate of the US is firmly in the hands of human beings.
