If America is so often singled out by Patriotic Americans the their land is the land of milk and honey and they cry "God Bless America" so often. He is said to give them gifts of natural beauty like Yosemite national park and the Grand Canyon and say this is proof the God blesses America.

Then why did their God punish America with the bulk of the Earth tornados, put California on that San Adreas fault and worst of all put 65% of the Earth oil fields in the Middle East which is riddled Muslim zealots who dispise America??

You talk about California being on a major fault line as if that were a bad thing.

Because He knows that Americans work best under adversity.

They need to rally around a cause, fight an enemy, push up their sleeves and say "let's roll"!

What do Americans say to adversity:

"Bring it on!"

Intrinsically not a bad thing because the laws of nature are morally neutral. So the epicenter to a major earthquake can just as easily occur under a major football stadium packed to capatity as it would in the middle of some remote desert.
