He is part of a wider movement of conservative Christians who are choosing to live their lives on the edge of society, unplugged from civilization as much as they can, living under basic biblical principles.

Like other conservative Christians in this growing movement, Brother Gregory believes that Christianity has strayed too far from its roots, and has given its role in people's lives over to the government -- as with welfare programs or health care.

"Making the government an idol is the problem. That's what stands in the way of Christian sanctification," Humphrey says. "It's hands off mainly things like our family, our children, our bodies, our health, and even our money, the fruits of our labor. These don't belong to government."

Christian Exodus considers itself a movement. In 2004, it tried to get its members -- some 1,500 or so who have signed up online -- to
move together to South Carolina, form a community and secede from the United States."We originally anticipated thousands and thousands of people overwhelming these smaller counties," Humphrey says.
"We had people , but they were kind of putting the cart before the horse, because they weren't living independently. They were just showing up and saying 'Okay, where's my house and where's my job?' We're like, 'Uh, no, it doesn't work like that." "Okay, where's my house and my job?":rofl:Wow, so these "Christian" conservatives want to "secede", they show up looking for a handout (but it's not from the
BigBadBoogieGovernment® so it's OK!), and they find out that it costs money to live in the Kingdom of God!
Perhaps this guy should check credit ratings in the future.
