You said -- "I will never be left exposed and sit as a target waiting for God to come and be my personal body guard. I utilize the knowledge and ingenuity He has blessed me with."
God judges a nation -- regardless of what certain individuals may do or think. The question is a national one, not an individual one.
You will see plenty of examples of God judging the nations in the Bible. And mostly its for their own pride and self-reliance that He does this -- and not acknowledging Him as the true source of power and protection. If you fall into the same trap (along with the nation) -- then judgement will come.

Sorry, ignoring that response. That will hijack the thread and get it moved to the smokey backroom.
