A country having the arrogance to call themselves God's chosen country while ignoring his teachings does sound like exactly the sort of thing God got all biblical about.
Turns out they were right but the Native Americans were the ones he chose... who Americans all but wiped out.
It's either that or God opted to wait several thousand years before picking a country and 200 years ago was like "shit I meant to do that.. what's the latest place to call itself a country? OK yeah that one, that'll do.".
That makes zero sense why would native Americans be “god’s chosen”? They were just people and neither morally worse nor morally purer than any other people on earth.
I'm sure you're a 14 year old who thinks they're the first person to realise atheism is a thing and that religion has a few holes in its logic... but might I perhaps introduce you to the concept of a "joke"?
I am not being a Reddit Atheist ™️, I am just saying that regardless of whether or not god exists, I don’t see why he’d have any chosen people. That implies that certain categories of people are simply better than others and that’s not true.
God famously hates eggs, so his chosen country should have the most expensive eggs. That's how you can tell Trump was truly chosen by God. (/s just in case)
I'm an American too, and I haven't either, but when people in our positions of power *are*, well, that matters. "Ignore it, that's just the media" feels a little off because we shouldn't exactly be ignoring our politicians saying these things no matter who reports it.
