What does the definition of "God's country" mean to you? Where is your God's Country?

Asked by Aster (20023points) February 8th, 2012

I just read someone call Hollywood “God’s country.” To me, it would be a more scenic place like small town Colorado or even Hawaii. What is Your God’s country? Mine is Montana, Wyoming or even NW Arkansas.

Any wild and scenic place, untainted by man.

Look outside

@YoKoolAid Look outside?? A neighborhood with flat land? Oh, you mean God created it wherever you look. True; the question is just an expression people use.

They use the expression, Godzone, (when said fast it sounds like God’s Own) about New Zealand. That place is my idea of a god’s country. I could google pictures all night, but then I would get even more homesick and cry.

New Zealand is beautiful @cazzie. I can see why you would be homesick and yes, it is an example of God’s country. I also love the Lake District in the UK. Especially Wastwater… I don’t think there is one place. It is any place where you look around at the beauty of nature and are awestruck. There are a number of places I have been that fit that bill. We live on a beautiful, beautiful planet.

As they say, Germany is the country where God kissed the earth.

I don’t know if I would call anywhere“God’s country” but I must admit that I feel closer to God when I am in the Scottish highlands. My faith is stronger when I am surrounding by such beauty.
