what makes USA so special?

[johan keneddy]

Why do Americans think their so special?

I am curios about this whenever I read an article on this forum it is either insulting an other race or religion, or about how "great" America is. so i want to know what makes you believe that America is the greatest country in the world compared to other countries?

What makes America so great that you can insult other countries?
And since this is a "bible" oriented site, where does it say America will be saved, but not most of the other countries in the world?

(I know this is the introductory thread but i can only make threads here, as i am apparently considered "unsaved trash")

Canada

Re: what makes USA so special?

Canada

So without Canada, USA wouldn't be great.
So does this mean USA needs Canada?

But compared to USA:
We have healthcare (OHIP)
Are economy isn't in the trash(could be soon but not yet)
And our schooling is much better than USA.

So i ask again what makes USA so great?

Re: what makes USA so special?

Because we are a Christian Nation. We trace our evangelical roots to Godly Puritans such as John Winthrop, who knew that our Great Nation would serve as a beacon for the rest of the world, in accordance with God's Word.

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Now the onely way to avoyde this shipwracke and to provide for our posterity is to followe the Counsell of Micah, to doe Justly, to love mercy, to walke humbly with our God, for this end, wee must be knitt together in this worke as one man, wee must entertaine each other in brotherly Affeccion, wee must be willing to abridge our selves of our superfluities, for the supply of others necessities, wee must uphold a familiar Commerce together in all meekenes, gentlenes, patience and liberallity, wee must delight in eache other, make others Condicions our owne rejoyce together, mourne together, labour, and suffer together, allwayes haveing before our eyes our Commission and Community in the worke, our Community as members of the same body, soe shall wee keepe the unitie of the spirit in the bond of peace, the Lord will be our God and delight to dwell among us, as his owne people and will commaund a blessing upon us in all our wayes, soe that wee shall see much more of his wisdome power goodnes and truthe then formerly wee have beene acquainted with, wee shall finde that the God of Israell is among us, when tenn of us shall be able to resist a thousand of our enemies, when hee shall make us a prayse and glory, that men shall say of succeeding plantacions: the lord make it like that of New England: for wee must Consider that wee shall be as a Citty upon a Hill, the eies of all people are uppon us; soe that if wee shall deale falsely with our god in this worke wee have undertaken and soe cause him to withdrawe his present help from us, wee shall be made a story and a byword through the world, wee shall open the mouthes of enemies to speake evill of the wayes of god and all professours for Gods sake; wee shall shame the faces of many of gods worthy servants, and cause theire prayers to be turned into Cursses upon us till wee be consumed out of the good land whether wee are going: And to shutt upp this discourse with that exhortacion of Moses that faithfull servant of the Lord in his last farewell to Israell Deut. 30. Beloved there is now sett before us life, and good, deathe and evill in that wee are Commaunded this day to love the Lord our God, and to love one another to walke in his wayes and to keepe his Commaundements and his Ordinance, and his lawes, and the Articles of our Covenant with him that wee may live and be multiplyed, and that the Lord our God may blesse us in the land whether wee goe to possesse it: But if our heartes shall turne away soe that wee will not obey, but shall be seduced and worshipp other Gods our pleasures, and proffitts, and serve them, it is propounded unto us this day, wee shall surely perishe out of the good Land whether wee passe over this vast Sea to possesse it;

Therefore lett us choose life,

that wee, and our Seede,

may live; by obeyeing his

voyce, and cleaveing to him,

for hee is our life, and

our prosperity.

Are you seriously suggesting that America being a Christian nation makes it not great?

Based on your poor grasp of grammar and spelling, I'd say Canadian schools aren't so great after all.

Re: what makes USA so special?

Okay, redeemed papist. Brazil, Mexico, Italy, France, and a bunch of other countries are Christian nations as well.
so are they as great as USA?

No. They are catholic, not Christian.

If you look at the chart provided by Proud Faroese you can see Canada is ranked higher.

Jedediah, Christianity has many forms, and Catholics are part Christianity.
