I wonder
Since this is a Christian nation, why are there so many poor?


What else would you distort "Christian nation" into?

I'm wondering if you are talking about Protestants or Catholics and Protestants? Since "Christian" is a catch all for many religious affiliations.

And by the way, I am also interested in hearing you explain the relationship between being or not being poor and being Christian.
