The founding fathers didn't want a country that had a state religion like England. They wanted citizens in this country free to worship as they please. Therefore, separation of church and state. They also addressed the basic rights of man. While doing this, they believed these came from God.

No, I think christianity has tried to ruin every culture it has come into contact with.
Native Americans, vikings, etc.

Not mine. I worship my children and life itself. I think that life is a beautiful mystery. I work hard in the name of love. I don't need any religious beliefs to hold me back

The idea that Jesus blesses any one "nation" over another is absolutely ludicrous. It's like applying prosperity gospel on a macro scale. My relationship with my savior is a personal one and has nothing to do with me being an American.

Yes. Thats why I said relative. Our founding fathers where Christians. They valued religion. But they saw it's obvious limitations when creating a government

I agree with his message

I agree. A government should never be in the business of telling it's citizens how to worship.

Franklin Graham did not follow in his father’s foot steps. He’s a divisive, power hungry creep.

Blessed is the nation who's God is the Lord
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God

Probably had more to do with being located far enough away from any major power while also existing on a continent loaded to an insane degree of natural resources while creating a government and way of life that allowed for the development of said resources
But would any of that have occurred without God!!!
Those resources were in place, isolated from interference for millenia before Europeans got here. And yet little was done with them.

The universe is not infinite based on our best scientific understanding.
And based on the Jewish and Christian understanding of God - God does see all people as made in the image of God.

For the Jewish and Christian it is God’s prerogative to bless or not bless nations. That is far different than the prosperity gospel which says God will bless me individually if I check the right boxes.

Are we talking science or superstition? Pick one

And the second part of that Psalm is "the people he chose for his inheritance."
The idea of the nation-state didn't even exist until 1648 with the Peace of Westphalia, so what we refer to as a nation (legal entity with physical boundaries) isn't what nation literally meant at the time of these translations (a group of people). The nation referred to in Psalms is, in my humble opinion, the group of people who believe that God is the Lord.
