Re: About USA
Can you document that millions of devout bonafide Biblical Christians have ever been wiped out via catastrophic acts of God?
Hey buz, I have only gotten so far in the thread so I don't know if anyone else has answerd this but I'll bite:
Back in 2001 there was a horrendous earthquake in el salvador, a nation which acording to the CIA world fact book is 86% Catholic with a sizable evangelical protistant minority. (more than 1 million)
When the earthquakes hit nearly 45,000 buildings were destroyed upward of 8000 people were injured and more than 1000 were killed

Worse still was the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. It killed between 6,000 - 12,000 people right there in the heart of the bible belt.
1900 Galveston hurricane - Wikipedia
In the 1980's the volcano Nevado del Ruiz errupted killing upward of 25,000 people in the predominantly christian nation of Columbia.

The Spanish Flu epidemic of the 1900's killed more than 500,000 people in the US and Europe. All the countries affected were predominantly christian nations.

And the worst Natural Disaster ever recorded in human history....
* drum roll *
The Black Plague!
Spanish flu - Wikipedia
More than 20 million people in a christian Europe perished.
That's alot of dead people buz, certainly some of them were christians.
