one thing i don't understand bout god/christianity

[Esquilax]

ben stein, billy graham and his daughter all basically saying the reason we are having so many problems like terrorism, hurricane katrina and etc is because we kicked god out of schools and government so he removed his blessings from over us :|

The strange thing about that claim, is that god never seems to remove those blessings from other countries that don't worship him to any greater degree than he does in America. I live in Australia, a nation with secular schools and government, and we don't have any greater problems with natural disasters, terrorism or other assorted violences. It's almost as if the claim is a complete lie!

Sarcasm aside, what I find particularly funny about that claim is just how purpose made it is to appeal to the insular, nationalist, culturally unaware simpletons who would accept such an answer. It relies on the audience having absolutely no knowledge or interest in the affairs of other countries, where the obvious falsehood of such an idea is easily spotted.
