Just a note about fighting for your religion

[kinzel]

As a science fiction writer... I'm supposed to ask, in part, what if.

So: what if a group of Christian fundamentalists tries to take over a US state and, if the Feds don't come to heel, to take that state out of the US in order to "redeem" it?

This is kind of an off-the-wall thing right? I mean, Heinlein and all those others couldn't been thinking about...about people like this, right? I mean, wouldn't South Carolina make a great place to start a civil war... oh, it's been done already?

In the face of all the people killed in the name of God and Allah in the last few years alone, how can this guy think that what he's suggesting would result in anything but hate and, ultimately, fanatic bloodletting?

I'm not going to get upset over these particular crazies until they get more than five families to move. I'm much more concerned about the "Christian Separatists" in thinly-settled Idaho.

If you're interested in the far-right's attempts to subvert the government, you should be reading Orcinus. http://dneiwert.blogspot.com/
