Is there such a thing as a Christian Nation?

Apologies to those who hoped this thread was dead...

Great thread!

I have been struggling lately with an issue that has not been directly dealt with on this thread and it is this:

Rom 11:8-10 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

Is it possible that God could give a spirit of slumber on a national level?
Is it possible that blessings given to a nation could become a snare to that nation?

In other words,, if a nation makes vows to God (as our American forefathers did) and is blessed by God but later begins to trust in those blessings rather than the blessor (as Israel did) could God blind them on a national level? (except for a faithful remnant, of course)

Is the national blindness of Israel a fulfilment of specific prophecy or is it a 'general principle'?

The reason I ask is because it sure appears at times that the US is suffering from national blindness.

And it appears at times that the US takes from granted the blessings of having God's Word proclaimed publicly, and many laws that are based on the general equity of Mosaic Law.
