Christianexodus.org: Should I get a bumper sticker?

[Smarmie Doofus]

According to ABC news they are a group of fundamentalists who want to 1. move to South Carolina; 2. outnumber the non-fundamentalists over time ( it shouldn't take them long) and then...by far the best part...3. secede from the union.

Does the fact that I think this is the best idea to come down the pike in a long time make me a bad person?

Seriously, shouldn't this be encouraged? Seems to me it would solve about seventeen major national problems at once... starting with returning the senate to the DEMS.

So what's wrong with it?

[NorCalDem]

1. Absolutely nothing

let them go, I won't argue. We can build highways around their archaic and medieval state.

[Ready2Snap]

2. No need, first thing they'll do is build a moat.

[AuntiBush]

5. I'd Volunteer to Head Down & Lend a Hand!

[AuntiBush]

3. There is a lot wrong with it.

1 State, then what? Another?

Have you forgotten? We are the "United States of America," not 1 state less. Church & State is not how our country was founded. Do your homework on the original immigrants, and why they came to this country.

I've been going to church since a child and I'll be damn if I'd have this crap in my state. What about ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS, huh? What about those that "CHOOSE" to have spirituality within their minds, not run by some huge church.

I could be here all day writing about this. Nuff said.

[Smarmie Doofus]

17. Hey, Aunti.... do YOUR homework! Many of the originals....

came to these blessed shores for precisely the same reason the new christian separatists want to secede. To establish a parochially-conceived heaven-on-earth utopia. The freedom of religion stuff evolved over MUCH passage of time.

Yes the scheme will be hard on non-fundamentalists in SC. No doubt. That's a tough one. Might have to be that some folks will have to make the sacrifice in the interest of the greater good.

We could talk $$$ compensation.

[POAS]

4. I had exactly the same thought

If I do I may even get Lit. to pass out to enquiring minds.

[jedr]

6. What gives them the right to any U.S. land?

I don't understand how these people think they own the flag and the country....I'd love to see them go....how about to somewhere in South America or and Island somewhere...let them fight for it like my liberal for fathers and myself have done for this country,or is it our service wasn't good enough because we where liberal (love ya' swiftys) ....makes me mad!!!!!!

[Smarmie Doofus]

9. But they have there own flag already....

it's got a cross on it and one or two stripes ( possibly representing i.q. pts?... okay... sorry, that was mean).

And they don't seem to want to go anywhere else... they're content with SC... at least for now. Ant they WANT to secede; the want to no longer be associated with the good old USA.

Yes, it would be better if they went to.... Outer Mongolia, or wherever... but they probably feel they'll be tolerated in SC.

[jedr]

14. I here-by claim by the flag of theD/U....

Pa. for myself and other like minded people... !!!!!

[AuntiBush]

15. If they hurry, they can make the fast Shuffle to the Shuttle.

How 'bout Mars? No. Not far enough away. And that banner, well, they think it's got something to do with that new-version bible crammed down their non-thinking minds and some sick Revelation that the south is going to rise again, yes, against the north. Many of "them" believe slavery is "OK" because they're in that book.

Oh, they make me sick with their loony-toony thoughts. Yet, I actually feel sorry for some of them. The flocks are far from diversities, educational resources, devoid of tolerance of others because they lived entire lives, generation after generation amid only themselves.

Then the false profits step-in w/their govt fundings. Next thing you know there are brand stinking' new Evangelical Church's popping-up all over the place, with your tax-dollars hard at work paying for all this. While so many historical olden churches crumble around us.

Like I said, I could be here all day debating this issue. Shew. And I would know. Trust me on that one. I would know.

[AuntiBush]

12. Great Idea "jedr!" We could see them "OFF!"

Bon Voy'age!

8. Hey, I was planning on starting a queerexodus.org

we were all going to move to Miami Beach and secede.

Who's with me!!!?!!!

Don't want none of them damn bible laws anywhere near us.

The first words out of that assholes mouth were "We don't want to live where sodomite marriage is allowed" . . . got some news for ya buddy. Leave, and don't take the state with you.

Nobody's keeping your pasty white uptight ass here.

[Smarmie Doofus]

13. Can't make it, sorry. High risk melanoma candidate.

Also , it would be hard to maintain viability as an independent entity over time.


Low birth rate for gay coulples, etc.

[deadparrot]

10. I would just hate to lose South Carolina--it's far too pretty! nt

[Barak And Roll]

16. Yeah,

Florida or Texas would be better.

[deadparrot]

21. Or somewhere landlocked...they don't deserve a coastline.

:)

[XemaSab]

23. Florida and Texas have some pretty good birds

Florida has the 'glades, and texas has Ann Richards, Jim Hightower, Molly Ivins, and many other progressives. It's also the biggest state in the lower 48. In a later post I suggested Nebraska. We can afford to lose Nebraska.

[XemaSab]

18. I know!

I really like South Carolina... nothing but good memories of South Carolina!

How about Nebraska? Anyone object to giving them Nebraska???

[Pharlo]

28. Yes, I object to letting them have any part of the current US land mass.

I hear there's a lovely little spot in Guyana that's available...

Seriously, if these individuals are SO enthralled with the Bible and literal interpretations etc., shouldn't they be going to settle in the Middle East? Of what POSSIBLE Biblical relevance is South Carolina?

[XemaSab]

30. go take my poll!

thanks :-)

32. I was thinking maybe Kansas....

...since there is general agreement that there is "something the matter with it."

[XemaSab]

33. I dunno

Kansas bashing seems like a touchy subject around here. I wasn't sure I "wanted to go there."

[Smarmie Doofus]

31. I think the Jews have to return to Israel first....

that way Jesus can return and condemn the Jews to everlasting hellfire.
There's a particular chronology that must be followed as I understand it.

If the Christian Fundamentalists repatriate to the ME ahead of time it will disrupt the sequence and spoil all the fun of seeing the burning infidels.

[AuntiBush]

19. Yes, it is isn't it.

Having so many roots down there I also planned a trip to those parts again someday to research more of my 8 generational roots.

Now, I dunno, respectfully when I know NY, NJ and even MA pays 218 million in taxes so these type of people can do as they damn well please.

People. Wake-up.

[LizMoonstar]

22. seriously, I don't wanna give up my beaches!

Why don't they go out to those states no one cares about anyway, like Nebraska?


just kidding nebraskites i wouldn't wish that on you either


dang, beaten. but yes.

11. I Urge Everyone to GO HERE & Read about Church & State Issues

20. Awww. you're no fun at all. N/T

[AuntiBush]

24. And Neither are you, PaulHo.

Ya ever hear the 'ole saying: "Argue long enough w/a (fill-in the blank) and before long, no one will be able to tell the 2 of you apart?"

Have a nice trip.

[Smarmie Doofus]

25. No... but is it anything like, "Lie down with dogs... you'll end up...

displeased"?

And where am I going? Is this like the scene from Goodfellas where...

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

26. Four reasons not to

my Pagan stepson, his wife, and his two kids who live in SC.

[Lecky]

27. Well it's a problem with liberal Democrats of SC such as myself

Since all this really means is more Republican votes. You think the repukes in my state are going to discourage it?

The Republicans will just humor the fundies and not take them seriously like they always do...and the fundies will let them because they hate Democrats so much.

[Ilsa]

29. I'd like to give them some desert spots like southern AZ, or

maybe El Paso Tx.

If they like they are so persecuted like the pilgrims, then maybe they should get on a plane and go start a new home somewhere else, like Antartica.

[raysr]

34. Fuck, I'll buy

'em some gas!
