A Free (and Christian) South Carolina?

NEW YORK — Nearly 140 years after the Civil War, another group of
Americans wants to secede from the union.
Christian Exodus (search), a California-based group, wants God to be
its commander in chief. Decrying what it perceives as the unjust
secularization of the United States, it wants a sovereign state of its
own.
But rather than eye the Golden State — a "lost cause," says the
group's founder — it'll settle for South Carolina (search).
Cory Burnell (search), Christian Exodus' founder and president, told
FOX News that the group narrowed its focus to the Bible Belt state
based on an electorate that is already "Christian-leaning," has its
own ports and — unlike its neighbor North Carolina — is no hub of
liberalism.
Christian Exodus' mission, according to its Web site, is to scrap the
"tyrannical authority" of federal government in favor of a
constitutional republic, with the Ten Commandments rather than the
U.S. Constitution as government's guide.
Phase One of the group's "plan of action" in breaking down the wall
between church and state is to enlist groups of 1,000 members to move
into 12 designated House districts in South Carolina, with the goal of
voting 12 "Christian sovereigntists" into the state government by
2008.
Subsequent similar phases will then go into effect. If by 2016 group
leaders have not achieved the kind of government they want, Christian
Exodus will throw down the gauntlet and seek independence.
The group comprises "mainstream evangelical Christians" who oppose
abortion under all circumstances, want prayer in schools and hope to
live far from "sodomites."
But don't call them isolationists.
"We want to use the existing apparatus [of the United States] to put
us in a position to protect our liberties, but we don't want to wall
ourselves off from the rest of the world," Burnell told FOX News.
"We have to look at the great mission posed to us by Jesus Christ: Go
as a disciple to nations," he said. "We want to go into the rest of
the world."
Burnell's effort is viewed with skepticism by not only expected
critics but also by some who share his general religious convictions.
A spokesman for Bob Jones University (search) — a nondenominational
Christian university that "stands without apology for the old-time
religion and the absolute authority of the Bible — said the school
would not be part of the campaign.
"As Christians, it's not our job to start a new country," Jonathan
Pait, a spokesman for the university, told the Atlanta Journal
Constitution. "It's our job to spread the kingdom and the kingdom is
not of this world. It's of the heart."

I am a baptized protestant. I do believe in the concept of Jesus Christ as
our ultimate saviour, son of God, our father in the Heavens.
I am not a fundamentalist. but I surely welcome the initiative of these
people!
Maybe one day I might join them! :-)
Kind Regards,
Barbarossa
