Also why do you think God is responsible for what ignorant men do with or in their lives? The statement you made makes no sense at all. Killing the Native Americans for their land was not right and was not sanctioned by God either, you have a very twisted way of looking at things, I've heard this argument from others and they could not answer my question either.This is not a twisted view at all, because to think that God got involved in the founding of a country, while said country was cleansing the earth of red people, seems to go against everything Christians claim their God stands for. Since the founding of this country was bathed in blood, why would God have any part of it? I think it's funny that you think god would help people write a constitution while they were in the middle of wiping out an eitire race of people from the planet. Why would god, in his 'infinite wisdom,' help the building of a country founded on disobeying the sixth commandment in the most disgusting manner possible? Do you think he was really up there thinking, "Well, they've got the right idea so even though they're slaughtering an entire race that I created, I'm going to make sure they do this thing right?"
To believe God helped form the constitution and made sure that this country was founded on Christian principles, is to believe God ignored how this country got started with genocide, or to claim that the way the country was founded was applying Christian principles. And I don't know why you would think God would get involved anyway, because to quote you again...
