What in the world does killing Indians and setting up a constitution have to do with each other. 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...

That is my question and you haven't answered it, God had and has a purpose for this country and in His own way guided it's rise, the purpose that God has and the actions man takes upon himself can and most often conflict with each other. I do not believe that God wanted the Indians treated the way they were and I myself find it to be a horrible thing. Yes I do believe many christians were involved in the terrible treatment of the Indians because they viewed them as inferior, this is not a reason for such action but never the less it took place and I'm sure not to God's approval. Greed does not know very many bounds with most people and thus the results of how America treated the Native Americans. God is not responsible for man's actions just as a parent is not responsible for the action of a child.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
