She is totally correct.

ok so if we are so bad now were we any better on December 7, 1941? Wasn't it a much nicer place - no 900 numbers or abortion. If there is a God she has one warped sense of humor.

God didnt save me because of who I am He saved me because of who He is

He blesses me daily even though I do not deserve it..Will He bless our sinful nation...only He know the answer to that !

Reminds of the what happens to lots of folks staying in the pokey; the get that JAILHOUSE RELIGION: bible totin', scripture saying guys while they're in the big house. Once they get out on the street, old habits return.

Our Lord never strays from us, we only stray from Him. He always takes us in after we wander farther off. There is no stronger Love.

God help us, if You are still listening. Hope it is not too late help us to abide by George Washington's warning about foreign entanglements. We have the met the enemy and 'we have become them'. We don't change them, they change us.

Close the borders, export all non-citizens, build fortress America or the USA won't last physically or spiritually for the next decade. Under Clinton, with GOP support, we have bombed many countries for some many years why are we surprised when we reap what we have sowed?

Why imprison God with relgion?

[Cap'n Crunch]

For thus saith the Lord: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgements, the sword and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of it man and beast;...You shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.-Ezech. xiv.21,23

[riley1992]

In His sovereignty, God alone has the power to protect our country and bring victory, but we need to make some drastic changes before we can expect Him to do that.

I would never expect him to do that. He gave us free will and in doing so gave us the power to make good of or destroy our own lives. I do not expect God to bring us victory and to assume so is arrogant at it's best, asinine at it's worst.

My thoughts exactly since Sept 11.

This is just a spin-off on the "God is punishing America" diatribe....in which self-righteous individuals actually take the same position of Bin Laden and militant Islam fanatics in saying terrorism against th US is really God's (or Allah's) punishment.

Jerry Falwell rightfully earned national scorn for making such a statement, and was wise enough to admit his error and apologize for it.

I wonder if the author of this letter included any of her personal sins in the list of reasons God is supposedly lifting his hand of protection from this nation?
Bet she didn't! Unless of course she considers herself sinless.

Perhaps if her family members are attacked and murdered we could point out her personal sins as to blame for the crimes committed against her and those she loves.
I'm sure self-righteousness, judgement, lack of human empathy and mercy would be at the top of the list.

Incredible!

Furthermore I wonder why she only focused the bad ,and completely ignored the good in the U.S?
What about the amazing displays of charity, self-sacrifice and love the American people have shown for those in need..not only after this tragedy..but throughout history....and not only toward other Americans but to all humans around the world..friends and enemies alike?

'When natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods strike other nations, no country on earth responds with greater alacrity or generosity than ours. When famine and disease decimate foreign populations, America is almost always the first – and sometimes the only – nation in the world to lend assistance.'

The fact is America's track record is quite demonstrably the most awe-inspiring model of charity, generosity and benevolence in the recorded history of mankind.

Perhaps like the author above, America should respond to the suffering and misfortune of victims with self-righteous judgements of how they brought it on themselves..and God is "removing His protection".??? How shameful!

God's blessings are another name for the consequences of righteousness. God's punishments are the wages of sin and folly. To the extent that America has sinned, and it has, that punishment will be forthcoming. To the extent that America has kept the righteous path, those blessings will be given.

That's just a fancy way of saying that if we want to get out of this mess, then we had better clean up our act.

[StayoutdaBushesWay]

I think God blesses America for one main reason at this point in our history....Israel! IMHO
If we lift our protection and alliance to her...God help us!

[Hemlock]

Because we have the highest percentage of Christians in the world, and because we're the worst people in the world except for all the others.

[AmericanVictory]

Did we bless God when we elected a man and his mate who mocked Him in every way?

[Bad~Rodeo]

God HAS BLESSED AMERICA by virtue of the simple FACT that YOU are ALLOWED to SPEAK your MIND AND PRACTICE ANY RELIGION YOU CHOOSE TOO.. Not really THAT hard to UNDERSTAND unless you NEED a BUILDING to FALL ON YOU. No Pun Intended. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

[jude24]

I don't think God is in the business of chastening Gentile nations. He raises them up according to His Sovreign will instead, as Acts 17:26 states -- "[He] and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings." He raises them up so that men might seek after him. (v. 27).

Chastening, however, is reserved to the believer. Hebrews 12 is abundantly clear on that point. " For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives." (Heb 12:6). But those who are not his sons, who have not yet obeyed the Gospel, are not yet chastened-- they are not sons, but rather "bastards" as the King James puts it in Heb 12:7.

[who knows what evil?]

I couldn't agree more...why should G-d continue to bless America the way He has in the past? I have travelled nearly 3,000 miles by car around the southeast since September 11, and have seen hundreds upon hundreds of signs stating 'G-d Bless America'. The number of signs I have seen calling for us to REPENT??? Only two. One in the mountains of east Tennessee; the other along Interstate 95 in South Carolina. At least those posters get it.

Does our nation's divorce rate bless God, with 50 percent of couples breaking the vows they made to each other and to Him, leaving the lives of millions of children shattered?

Ouch!
