Apparently things like the 'War on Christ' the 'promotion of sodomy' and the recent ten commandment in courtrooms debate has sent them over the edge. You can read all about it here

On the plus side a lot of these wack jobs seem to be going from Pennsylvania where I live so its a case of "see ya wouldn't wanna be ya!" and the phrase 'Good Riddance' leaps to mind. However my lovely Christian friend who picked me up from the hairdressers shook his head and said 'bunch of wacko's!' when I told him about it letting me breathe a sigh of relief that not all American Christians are fruitcakes.
The scary thing is the plan they have to infiltrate local government, school boards, townships etc and take over the state is actually completely achievable and with the thousands of Chrisitans planning to re-locate to SC by 2006 I find it very, very scary.
Any South Carolina people heard about this?

We live near Charleston, SC ... haven't heard a word about it. You would think South Carolinians would have learned a lesson from the last time they tried to secede.
I can tell you, however, that the Christian Fundamentalists are definitely alive and well around here!!! Take it from me: a "fallen" Southern Baptist. :scared:

Hasn't Texas been trying this crap for years??
Let the agoraphobics have their country on the condition that it has to be detached from the USA and pushed out to sea.
