Blessing when taken as you intend it does indeed seem to come from God. When it is taken as it is MEANT, however, it refers to all those things to which Liberty entitles us. It is not used in the religious context in the preamble. It is used in the "something promoting or contributing to happiness, well-being, or prosperity" sense (answers.com). Kinda like how a father gives his blessing to the marriage of his daughter and her fiance. Or do you mean to imply that every father that has ever "blessed" his daughter's marriage is a proxy for God? I would hardly say we are a blessed nation, either. Have you seen San Francisco lately? Or the state of protection for the unborn? Or respect for the beauty of each individual based on his creation by the same God that created us all? Perhaps "blessed" in the secular sense, in that we are very prosperous, but I would say we are in trouble when it comes to the moral state of our nation.
