However,...
...considering that America is often referred to as being a
"Christian Nation"...
Of course, there's no such thing. A "nation" is a collective noun, and as such, not personal, not individual. Only
persons can choose a creed. Some person in the US are actually Christian, but most are not.
What even is an actual 'christian', to you, EXACTLY?

...don't you find it somewhat ironic (if not brazenly hypocritical) that the main "Christian" on the forum (IC) has no problem with the attack that is taking place on one of the very few American agencies that even remotely resembles the Christian exhortation to "tithe" a portion of one's wealth to help others?
Oh, so much to say about that.
Let's start with the very obvious observation that there's one heck of a difference between inviting ethical persons to be voluntarily charitable, and appropriating the legitimate property of citizens by fiat. Then there's the difference between taking those funds to do good, and taking them to enrich the leeches in one's bureaucracy, or to subsidize the sterilization and castration of children in another country.
Nobody's objecting to aid. What they're objecting to is the latter. And any Christian worthy of the name will not mistake the latter for the former, nor allow the later to become a substitute for the former. To do so would be totally unchristian.
YES. To ALLOW 'another' to MAKE their OWN CHOICES, is TOTALLY "unchristian".

And why you'd want to defend it, or to criticize those who want to stop the grift, the corruption and castrating of children...well, I really can't say.
your ATTEMPTS of TRICKERY and DECEIVING "immanuel can" are NOT FOOLING ANy one, here.
ABSOLUTELY NO one, here, is defending, NOR criticizing those who want to stop, corruption and unnecessary castrating of children. So, your ABSOLUTE and OBVIOUSLY False CLAIM, here, is UNWARRANTED and NEEDS NO EXPLANATION FROM you as to WHY. However, WHY you, REALLY, are 'TRYING TO' DEFLECT, FOOL and DECEIVE the readers is VERY OBVIOUS.
you 'TRY TO' DO SO as you NEED TO 'RUN AWAY' and 'HIDE' FROM the ACTUAL Truth, here. That is; you are 'TRYING TO HIDE FROM your OWN Truly UNCHRISTIAN WAYS of VIEWING and SEEING things.
ONCE AGAIN 'this one' 'TRIED' its HARDEST TO DEFLECT, and DECEIVE, here.

In light of the fact that much of America's wealth came from the exploitation of other people's lands and resources across the planet along with the death and destruction that often accompanies America's imperialistic endeavors,...
Woke nonsense. It's not a fact at all.
LOL
LOL
LOL
Talk about ANOTHER PRIME example of 'TRYING TO' 'RUN AWAY' AND 'HIDE' FROM one's OWN OBVIOUSLY Wrong thinking AND Wrong doing.

You need a history class or two, and not from some blue-haired, Leftist harpy...a real history class.
Is this JUDGING others, and GIVING 'them' ATTEMPTED INSULTING words, what you REALLY LEARNED in YOUR "christian" TEACHINGS and UPBRINGING?
For A self-claimed "christian" and God "believer", here, you are, at time, the MOST "unchristian" and MOST UNGOD like person, here, "immanuel can".

And then you'd find out that nobody "owned" North America at all, and the tribes that roamed across it didn't even have a conception of land ownership.
LOL
LOL
LOL
HOW MANY, BLATANTLY, Wrong DOINGS, in LIfe, by one's of 'this one's ilk' is 'this one' GOING TO 'TRY TO' 'justify'.
LOOK "Immanuel can" what WAS DONE can NOT BE JUSTIFIED in ABSOLUTELY ANY way AT ALL.
LOL people who do not have a 'conception' of 'land ownership' can NOT OWN the 'very land' that they have LIVED WITH for COUNTLESS MILLENNIA, therefore BECAUSE 'i' HAVE A 'concept' of 'land ownership', then 'i' CANT TAKE AWAY 'ANY land', on earth, and then do WHATEVER 'i' LIKE WITH 'the land' that 'i' have just 'self-claimed' IS 'MY LAND'.
you "immanuel can" would be SEEN AS BEING COMPLETELY BLIND, DISTORT, and TWISTED BEYOND BELIEF, that is; IF you had NOT WRITTEN the 'VERY WORDS' that you HAVE BEEN, here.

And maybe you could take a course in economics as well, and find out that value can be created by ingenuity, invention, improvements in technology, and free trade.
And then, maybe, you'd have something to say. Today, not so much, apparently.
'This one', who CLAIMS TO BE A "christian" could not be MORE OF A CONDESCENDING HYPOCRITE, here, even if it WANTED TO BE and TRIED TO BE.
