If God is the “Deist” God, Who created and then went forever back in to chambers never to interfere, then it is in man's hands alone.
I recommend reading Arnold Guyot (1800s) on the subject.
I don't believe that God is disinterested. I believe that He divided the nations, even if man thinks man did it. I believe He does have an endgame, and I believe also that he gives a nation the leadership that that nation (as a whole) DESERVES.
“... I believe also that he gives a nation the leadership that that nation (as a whole) DESERVES”
So do I. That is what frightens me about Obama.
