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.
The plan initially calls for at least 12,000 Christians willing to be active in political campaigns to move to the Palmetto State.
"We're not an invading force, we're reinforcements," Burnell tells WorldNetDaily, saying it would be a waste to move to liberal-minded states such as Massachusetts, New York or California where conservative votes would be diluted.
According to the ChristianExodus website, which is slated for a major relaunch next month, "Christians have actively tried to return our entire land to its moral foundation for more than 20 years. We can categorically say that absolutely nothing has been achieved. If you disagree, consider this:
Abortion continues against the wishes of many states
Children may not pray in our schools
The Bible is not welcome in schools except under strict federal guidelines
The 10 Commandments remain banned from public display
Sodomy is now legal and celebrated as 'diversity' rather than perversion
Preaching Christianity will soon be outlawed as 'hate speech'

This is interesting. Perhaps this is what happens to the USA and this is why we are a non player in the end times.... perhaps we become so divided, we are no longer a viable force in the world.....

The worst part is we could point to a bunch of reasons why that is, but only time will tell.
-The humorous part is that it doesn't matter the cause, we cannot stop it. And yet we try.
From an Eathly perspective, sad and upsetting.
From Gods perspective, a view of the depravity, ego and vanity of man.
I understand your point but at the same time, you have to admit that non-Christians are just as, or even more intolerant.Originally posted by DKSuddeth
It's inevitable when you consider that a portion of the 'righteous' feel that its necessary for everyone to believe the same or be persecuted. rigidity in its intolerance of anything that is remotely non-christian will only serve to divide the nation in even more severe forms.

Not very comforting is it?Originally posted by DKSuddeth
by all means, yes they are. It's just another example of the polarization of two sides unwilling to believe anything else other than their way is the only way.

I for one am sick and tired of all the moral decay, that started with slick willie getting a blow job in the Oval Office. That was an accelerant.
I hope that this moral decay is stopped, and even backed up. Why does America's metamorphosis have to be morally corrupt and perverted in direction?

You are free to be morally corrupt or not. The bible and the constitution gives us the right to choose.

Correct but with cause and effect, God's plan waits until things take their course.
