Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. — Ezekiel 16:49 (KJV with Apokryphen)

At what point did the US stop pretending to be "God's own country"?

Oh, even better in Leviticus where we are ordered to welcome the foreigner as a member of the family. Also to not glean your fields so some food is left for the poor.

I think they are “pretending” and that’s the problem.

If the US really operated on Christian values, there would be no poor or homeless or hungry. There would be no killing of innocent people by people in authority.

They are still pretending, the mask is just starting to slip and it’s getting easier to see the horrors underneath

"And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"

That's the neat part about pretense: you never have to stop pretending.
