Christians look to form “new nation” within US
Calling the approval of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” a group of Christian activists is in the beginning stages of an effort to have one state secede from the United States to become its own sovereign nation.
“Our Christian republic has declined into a pagan democracy,” says Cory Burnell, president of ChristianExodus.org, a non-profit corporation based in Tyler, Texas. “There are some issues people just can’t take anymore, and [same-sex marriage] might finally wake up the complacent Christians.”
Burnell is leading the charge for a peaceful secession of one state from the union, and after originally considering Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina due to their relatively small populations, coastal access, and the Christian nature of the electorate, Burnell says South Carolina has been selected as the target location.
If I may be so bold as to suggest it, I have a much better idea for these folks.
ohpleaseohpleaseohPlease let them move to New Hampshire.
That’s a pissing match I’d pay large money to see.

Off the Kuff: The case for space travel, continued I wonder, when all is said and done, how many Christians want to carve out their own, separate, nation……
South Carolina?!? Have they seen the multitude of strip clubs that lurk just a bit inland of the beach at Myrtle Beach?
Oh, of course…they have seen them. That’s why they WANT SC. All those writhing, sweaty, sinful, young ladies in need of, er, ministry.
I was going to suggest a Dakota.
Fort Sumter, here we come [again].
We should have let ’em go in 1861.
“Our Christian republic has declined into a pagan democracy” – Cory Burnell
And exactly which of those… “pagan” or “democracy” … is supposed to be an evil thing? The few pagans I know do a pretty good job of living by their most often quoted maxim: “An [i.e., if] ye harm none, do as ye will.” I wish I could say the same for the radical Christian fundamentalists, whose motto might well be, “Even if you harm no one, do as we say.”
As for South Carolina, or even New Hampshire (pace, Julia), I know people in both places, and they do not deserve this. What state would want to be the home of the Formerly American Taliban (FAT)?
Sadly enough, Texas – as a part of the annexation – is the only state which can legally secede.
I’d consider moving a small price to pay.
I’m a Texan. I’m a Christian. I’m for Gay marriage. I have a gay father who is also Christian. But on to bigger and better things. I was wondering how You fundamentalists felt about space travel….
