So please tell us what the country was like when the above was not the case i.e. when the country was supposedly blessed by God. How did we treat the indigenous people groups? How did we treat black people? How about the Jazz Age? What was that like? How about the ruthlessness and corruption in which business was conducted? How about Christians persecuting each other e.g. Congregationalists hanging Quakers for their religious beliefs etc., etc, etc. If kids could pray in schools why was this happening? If nativity scenes were allowed on the courthouse square why was this happening?

Okay ... so you don't think the U.S. was ever blessed by God because a lot of bad things have happened in it and some of the founders did bad things. Got it.
Some of us think this nation has been blessed by God and that is because of its godly roots. Not much point in arguing about this that I can see.
Bottom line for me is prayer for people to return to God. Cahn's message caused me to pray more that men might be convicted of sin and humble themselves and repent and return to God. I can't see that there is ever a bad time for that kind of prayer. Repentance and turning to God clearly needs to happen. I posted Cahn's message because I heard the Lord's voice in it calling God's people to humble themselves and pray. (We always need to do that, don't we?) I felt it might likewise inspire others as it had inspired me. It didn't inspire you. Got it.
