I find this disturbing.
"a group of Christians fed up with American laws they believe are at odds with the Bible is beginning to move to its target state of South Carolina."
Good thing the early church didn't think and act in this way: how would the gospel have been shared? Shows that we're witnessing a mainly political ideology rather than something based in the New Testament.

Sometimes I wonder if these 'churches' are worshipping a different god who just happens to share the same name as mine.
