Okay, for all those who think God is responsible for the USA's greatness, it boggles my mind how they somehow think we exist in a vacuum. The USA has only been a world power AT BEST since the Spanish-American war, read: about 100 years.

The Mongols were pretty successful, was God on their side? Our former archnemisis the British were wildly successful, and more powerful than us for much of our history, was God on their side? The Romans? The Persians? China is doing pretty well for themselves, especially when you look at where they were 60 years ago - all part of God's fucking plan??

And regarding disasters, they are no better than the mullahs of Iran who claimed their earthquakes were caused by immodest women and turning away from God. We have an extremely dangerous and large strain of fanatics in this country that makes secular Europe look like a paradise.
