officialgaiman, I’ve just found out that these people want a bunch of conservative Christians to move to South Carolina and then secede from the union to create a Christian republic in accordance with their (to my eyes, wacky) reading of the Constitution.

Which leads me to the burning question, why South Carolina?

I’m not entirely displeased with a solution in which they leave and we stay, since lately I’ve so often feared it would be the other way round. But wouldn’t it make more sense to take over, I don’t know, Hawaii? Something self-contained and not so close to Washington, DC? I don’t care how sympathetic to right wing Christians they are, people who need a whole hemisphere to feel safe will never let you keep it.

I suppose I’ll have to revise my “in case of world ending, go here” plan again. Even if they don’t succeed at seccession, large numbers of disgruntled extremist Christians are not healthy for bisexual Jewish atheist ACLU member to hang around. Drat. I liked South Carolina, it had good trees.

Gah! Ok - as a Christian who actually has a brain, may I just say that these people do NOT speak for me. Or anyone I know personally.

I feel like I need to apologize for the Christian right-wing extremists and say to the world - "That is NOT what Jesus would do!" He actually, you know, *liked* people who were different than him.

I know that you are an intelligent woman who would not judge a whole group of people by the actions of a minority, but still.... we all aren't like this. Really.

*hugs* No worries. There's nut cases of every flavor, and I know you're not one of them. If you want some wacky Jew stories, there are now, no fooling, people who will not drink water unless it's certified Kosher. Water. The stuff you wash other stuff in it make it Kosher. The stupid knows no bounds.
