No…this story isn’t from The Onion! And I checked the calendar, it’s not April 1.
This is actually the lead story from the front page of WorldNetDaily! The far right “news” site that, I guess, expects us to take their views seriously. Or expects their regular readers to do so. Or expects “Christians” to do so. Or something…
Same-sex marriage called last straw prompting plan for 1 state to secede

Calling the approval of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” a group of Christian activists is in the beginning stages of an effort to have one state secede from the United States to become its own sovereign nation.
“Our Christian republic has declined into a pagan democracy,” says Cory Burnell, president of ChristianExodus.org, a non-profit corporation based in Tyler, Texas. “There are some issues people just can’t take anymore, and [same-sex marriage] might finally wake up the complacent Christians.”
Burnell is leading the charge for a peaceful secession of one state from the union, and after originally considering Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina due to their relatively small populations, coastal access, and the Christian nature of the electorate, Burnell says South Carolina has been selected as the target location.
What a surprise this group would come out of Texas?! And Texans had such an unblemished reputation up till now!
There’s more to the story than what I quoted…Go read it. It’s short, and doesn’t have too many big words.
Maybe this will finally give Guam a fighting chance…50’s a good, round number.
Guam: Statehood or set them free!
So South Carolina is the designated secessioner…
Does South Carolina know?
There are far religious right groups and far religious left groups. You cannot stereotype and lump all Christians into one group. Some far right Christian groups believe in false theologies like Kingdom Now and Dominion Theology, and this is probably one of those groups. I bet you have never heard of Kingdom Now/Dominion Theology.
Legally, I think Texas is the only state that can secede from the Union, and that is because Texas was a Republic three different times.
Well, what’s keeping ’em!!!?
The religious far right constitutes the overwhelming mass of America’s Christians. Funny thing is they are also split, the Dominion Theologians are anti"semitic" and anti Israel, the Scofield Baptists are anti semitic pro Israel.
But the funny thing is the state flag of No. Carolina has Muslim ideology symbology (Crescent and Date Palm). LOL.
Appropos they would choose NC. Because these folk are the spitting image of the Muslims, when it comes to their rants and raves.
Theocratic, misogynistic, homophobic, harsh sentences for apostates and infidels.
Blood brothers of Moses.
Christians like all people of faith are stupid sheep who see only what they wish to, only what has been taught to them by equally moronic parents. Science is the only truth. Nothing man has INVENTED can explain life and or god so wise up, stop worring about others and worry about your own hateful ways. Bush is an idiot as are the majority of voters from the "red states". The blood of our soldiars is on his head and YOURS if you voted for him.
