Why do Americans think they are God's chosen ones? And really, why would we think God cares who wins a football game, a golf tournament, or a wrestling match?
Hang on. Hang on.
As an Australian, I certainly don't think Americans are God's chosen people. Or that the US is somehow God's chosen land. Don't get me wrong - I have immense admiration for the United States, and think it is a wonderful place with wonderful people - one of only five countries I could ever happily live in - but I don't think that's because of God. It's because Americans have made it so.
God does bless America, I believe. But He also blesses Australia. He does bless Puerto Rico, Thailand, Norway, Rwanda, and Venezuela and for that matter, Afghanistan, North Korea, and Iraq.
But He also gave man free will. God's blessing is a wonderful thing - but if you want a decent nation, you've got to work for it.
