What should we do if we don’t like what people in our community are doing? RETREAT!!
If you haven’t had a look at the Christian Exodus website you might like to take a few moments to have a peek.
They want 50 000 Americans to move to one state and then secede. This would be a lot funnier if they weren’t for real.
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.
Why do some Christians spend so much time and effort trying to make things better for themselves rather than reaching out to those who need the love of Jesus?
Rather than trying to make governments bend to follow a Biblical lifestyle, we should be out making disciples as the scriptures call us to do. When the heart of a nation changes, so will its laws.
What use is a society that looks moral on the outside if it is rotten at the core? Surely it would be better to change the heart of the nation.

You’re coming up with some really good stuff at the moment. It’s interesting to see the whole “market” (I guess) for Christianity promoting self survivial over others. Kind of like what’s in the world
It’s always interesting when you see them in the bookstores. I often don’t know whether to be sad, angry or confused.
I guess their point is that the *heart* of a nation never has been changed – except with Nineveh, as you pointed out to me 🙂 – or rather, people have been trying to convert America for a long while and these guys have realised it’s just not going to work.
That said, I completely agree with everything else you said. Are you *sure* they’re for real? It sounds really bizarre….
Hi phyntosia – good to see you back again.
You’re right – it is really bizarre. It’s so opposite to what the Bible teaches. It’s very easy to see how people can be turned off Christianity if they think that’s what it’s all about.
Jesus would never approve.
An anonymous poster (sorry – I don’t generally accept anonymous coments so it’s been deleted) left a cryptic comment about Utah without actually making any point.
Utah is certainly a case where a religious group has ‘taken over’ a state. There are also a number of countries that are run by other religious groups.
The point of this post is that I do not feel that a Christian group should act in this way. The idea of Christianity is that followers should be going out into the world not retreating from it.
I cannot comment on the theology of other religions such as the LDS.
