No reading comprehension; no knowledge of history, either.

You are so wrong on so many levels.

Try reading this:

Article 4
All civil, penal financial, economic, administrative, cultural, military, political, and other laws and regulations must be based on Christian criteria. This principle applies absolutely and generally to all articles of the Constitution as well as to all other laws and regulations...

Sound good to you? Sounds a lot like what you propose:
PREAMBLE. We the people of the Republic of Maine, in order to establish justice, insure tranquility, provide for our mutual defense, promote our common welfare, and secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of liberty, acknowledging with grateful hearts the goodness of the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe in affording us an opportunity, so favorable to the design; and, imploring God's aid and direction in its accomplishment, ... form ourselves from henceforth into a free and independent Christian Nation, by the style and title of the Republic of Maine and do ordain and establish the following Constitution for the government of the same.

I quoted the constitution of Iran, and I changed only one word. Maybe you can apply your massive intellect to figure out which one. You want to establish the same sort of tyranny. Just a different religion in charge.

What you need to do is back away from the computer and the topic, and examine why you are so deeply threatened and enraged by what is on my part a dry abstract intellectual discussion of how the proposed scheme could possibly work, even though it doesn't apply to me personally and I would be extremely unlikely to move there even in the .00009% chance that it could succeed; which I have already conceded upthread that it could happen when pigs fly.

You need to ask yourself why you are taking something so very personally that has not occured, that you would not be forced to participate in if it did occur, and would not affect your life in any way unless you are a signicant landowner in Maine. Because otherwise, you're taking the entire thing as a assault on you personally, when it is to me simply an abstract brainstorming about what the possibilities and pitfalls would be in trying to do such a thing, and what the principles are that are parallel or contrasting to the US Constitution. Creative people do this sort of discussion all the time before they develop a prototype. It's a relatively quite harmless activity. No need to get excited.

Because of your screen name, I took the time to try to clarify the issues in an attempt to relieve your concerns; because if you are a landowner in Maine, your concerns are .00009% warranted. But if in fact you are not a father, or if you have five babymamas, I've truly wasted my time. So farewell, and God bless you.
