Why do some Christians think "God" favours the US?
Can you give me 1 biblical quote from your little book that mentions non middle eastern people? Wheres this idea come from? Does God favour the US so much that he gives it the highest child mortality rate in the western world? How about shorter life expectancy and lower standard of living? Does God favour the US so much he allows 18000 peole to die each year from preventable illness because capitalist insurance companies wont insure people? Also why should I then choose salvation from your God who favours you more than me? Why is God such an ethnocentric nationalist?
nationalism seems to be a part of religious extremism (at least in the abrahamic religions)
They’re obviously uneducated.

He doesn’t. He loves Britain, which is why he saves the Queen.

I don’t think God favors the U.S. He only nation He favors is Israel. Of course He favors all of his children…..in whatever country they are in.

Because they’re idiots.

It’s pretty simple: lots of christians are nationalists, so they think god favors the US… just as lots of christians are homophobes, so they think god hates fags. Since it’s *their* imaginary friend… god reflects their beliefs.

Some don’t think much farther than the actual stuff presented to them
I hate high school, but I’m sure college will also have such people…

the US didn’t exist any time during the writing of Scripture, not during Moses’ day, not during Jesus’ day
the Jews are God’s favorite people but they are not above sinning and being cast in the lake of fire

im a Christian and i dont think God favors the USA. God says multiple times that He loves everyone equally. as for your question about death, Ecclesiastes 7:14 "Enjoy prosperity while you can but when hard times strike, realize both come from God to show you nothing is certain in this life."

I dunno why christians do that. I’m a christian and I didn’t know other’s believe that.
So Yeah, it’s pretty dumb. It dosen’t say that in the bible.

he doesn’t God doesn’t choose when people die sorry. Research, god just watches us. he doesn’t control us. He just watches and observes, and sees what our reactions are to different things and what we do to see if we are worthy or not.

Pascal’s Wager the Second Law of Thermodynamics and seperation of church and state isn’t in the Constitution; insist that the Constitution is based on the Ten Commandments. thus that’s what the verse says, but that’s not what it means.

He favor(ed) the US because the United States was settled to enjoy religious freedom. It was set up on distinctly Christian morals (and it’s fallen away now) but kept apart from religion so that anyone can worship God without fear of oppression.
And God doesn’t favor me more than you. He loves you so much he died for you, and for every other unworthy, sinning, lying, cheating, coveting good-for-nothing person in this world "of whom I am the greatest of sinners" to quote Paul. We were once worthless, but now each of us is worth so much more than the world says.
References :
I never liked the idea of a deity playing favorites, as that is a human characteristic. The God and Goddess love all of their children equally, be they a murderer or a saint. But since understanding divinity is beyond the capabilities of mortals, we tend to project onto them human traits that we can relate to in order to fill in the gaps.

never heard of God favors the U.S.

I have never thought America was *favored* of or by God… It was and is the prayers of His Children that have stopped a lot of things….. the less His Children pray, the more satan takes over…. the same goes for the rest of world…… just my humble opionion….. go in peace. God bless

Some Christians think God favors the US because the Christians in question are US citizens, I think.
Cf "Manifest Destiny" — the belief that God must have wanted the European settlers of this country to kill the Native American tribes off and steal their lands, in the interests of advancing civilization & Christianity etc.
This is an old game, though, isn’t it?
Jewish Old Testament – teaches that Jews, not surprisingly, are "Chosen People" with divine mandate to take over the Land of Canaan.
Quoran – teaches that Arabs, too, are descended from Abraham and therefore are more or less a "chosen people" themselves, and also teaches that Muslims are destined to conquer the world for Allah.
Ancient Hindu scriptures — teach that Hindus, Aryan invaders of the Indian subcontinent from Central Asia, are divinely ordained to rule over original inhabitants of Indian subcontinent, some of whom are labeled "Nagas" or "serpents" and are associated with evil.
Cf the young Bob Dylan, "God on Our Side."
All religious people everywhere, or at least most of them, think that they have "God on their side."

@Why do some Christians think "God" favours the US?"
Because "Israel" is scattered.
When Jerusalem was destroyed, before you and I were even thought of, ‘The Lost tribe," scattered into the ‘caucus mountains."
Hence, the word caucus, whICH mean Caucasian.
Caucasians are the Lost Tribe of Israel: Judah are the Jewish Tribe.
USA and Britain.
God promise the land for Jacob’ generation to come.
We must learn our biblical History and STOP IGNORING GOD WITH OUR DISOBIEDIENCE.

Maybe arrogance. .

They have committed the basic error of mistaken causation. Obviously, there is no reference to the USA or any other political/geographical entity in the bible. Before i get my head ripped off, yes, the children of the nation of Israel are cited to be the chosen ones.
Beyond that, the idea of the US being specifically blessed is the work of early settlers and the framers of the US Constitution. They where European Christians who,through their faith, interpreted the discovery of the new land and rising new nation as a gift from God. His blessing. His mandate.
It’s a man made thing. No big whoops about that.
Now, do you have a question or did you just want to rant?

God does not favor one human above the other.Acts 10:34..Then Peter opened his mouth and said"In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality"The Gideon Bible, Then Peter opened His mouth, and said"Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons" King James Version. There is just one little thing you should remember that is going on ,on this planet, and that is 1 Peter 5:8 "Be Sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" His devouring at this point is pretty much to every one who he can devour. I would say in the US is our unrighteous Choices, putting self love, Greed, un holiness, hatred is what is doing what you say in your question above….not God. Lets give credit where credit is do and it is not to the goodness on this planet but to our own choice of Sinning. Until you put God first above anything else, even self, this situation is not going to get better. In Christs Love, this is my choice…missleslie

God obviously favours the U.S. because we have Youtube and NBC and Marvel Comics and Apple Pie. It’s in the book of 3rd Hezekiah or something.
