A Christian Nation

ChristianExodus.org has been established to coordinate the move of 50,000 or more Christians to a single conservative state in the U.S. for the express purpose of reestablishing constitutional governance. It is evident that our Constitution has been abandoned under our current federal system. The efforts of Christian activism have proven futile over the past five decades and, whereas desperate times require desperate measures, we are now in the most desperate of times. The federal government is considering whether marriage, the foundation of civilization since Creation, should be reserved solely to a man and a woman. Christians must now draw a line in the sand and unite in a sovereign state to dissolve our bond with the current union comprised as the United States of America.

The success of ChristianExodus.org will lead to an independent Christian nation where people may once again worship God under the protection of a friendly government. In addition, such a nation will be free of burdensome taxation and federal meddling in local affairs. Matter of factly, the liberties we have lost to liberalism over the past century will be restored in one fell swoop.

The Problem
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?¹²
Gay marriage will be foisted upon us in the very near future

All these atrocities continue in spite of the fact that we now have the ?right? people in places of power. Indeed, the occupant of the White House is a professing Christian. The U.S. Attorney General is believed to be a devout Christian. ?Conservatives? control both Houses of Congress, and Republican presidents appointed seven of the nine Supreme Court justices. Christian activists placed the right party in power, but are we now witnessing the return to moral and constitutional government that we have demanded for so long?

No, we are not, and we never will. More than fifty-three million people voted for pro-abortion, pro-gay candidates in the 2000 presidential election. That number will undoubtedly grow each year as Hollywood, MTv and universities turn out liberals faster than our churches can produce converts. Redemption of all 50 American States and their general government is totally impossible.

The Solution
So what can be done? ChristianExodus.org offers the opportunity to try a strategy not yet employed by Bible-believing Christians. Rather than spend resources in continued efforts to redirect the entire nation, we will redeem States one at a time. Millions of Christian conservatives exist, but we are geographically spread out and diluted at the national level. Therefore, we must concentrate our numbers in a geographical region with a sovereign government we can control through the electoral process.

ChristianExodus.org is orchestrating the move of 50,000 or more Christians to one of three States for the express purpose of dissolving that State's bond with the union. The three States under consideration are Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina. The exact destination will be chosen by vote of our membership. Our move will commence when the federal government forces sodomite marriages on our local communities or once we reach the 50,000-member mark, whichever comes first.......

It all seems a bit odd - what about the existing denizens of those three states? 50,000 people could not really be enough to take over a state, surely? And I wonder what they plan to do with any offspring who choose not to be Christian. Still, I suppose the outcasts could seek asylum in the remaining 49 states.

This is proof positive of the auld Scots saying....

'Thur's mair oot nor in'...

[Tuechter]

Christian?

[Celyn]

Yeah - it looks as though they love their neighbours SO much that they're desperate to move away from them!

....


ChristianExodus.org intends to achieve Independence for our destination state within five years of our emigration completion (8 years from commencement of our move).
....

Well, they're not lacking in optimisim, I suppose one can say that for them! I do rather think it might take a big longer than that to obtain their independence, judging by the example of other nations.

Oh, and it appears that their main nitpick with the way the world is going to hell in a handbasket is to do with the matter of same-sex marriage! Not wars, not economic inequality, no - they are concerned that "sodomite marriage" will be forced upon them.

Just out of curiosity, why do you say "economic inequality" and not "poverty"? What is intrinsicaly wrong with some people having more than others? After all, my neighbor's having a yacht doesn't make me poorer. So long as I have enough to live comfortably I don't mind my neighbor being richer.

Im just wondering, what dose this have to do at all with scotland and why do you insist on trying to force you oppinions on others?

Errrrmmmmm

Udder - this is a religion/philosophy forum - not specifically Scottish in nature.
