Salvation in less than 20 minutes or ETERNAL DAMNATION!!

It's time for a steak fanatic pizza and some bible study as Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan has started construction on his Catholic Oasis just north of Naples, FL. Monaghan, apparently tired of Christian Exodus dragging their feet on the issue, has decided to take matters into his own hands and purchase 5,000 acres of land in Florida to build what could be the largest, centralized gathering of Republican Voters since the last time Joe Lieberman threw a dinner party.

Construction is already underway for this Catholic paradise which will include a 65 foot crucifix, Roman Catholic University and approximately 11,000 homes... but of course no birth control. After all, birth control is a direct slap in the face to the teachings of Jesus Christ, however spending thousands and thousands of dollars on a sixty-five foot crucifix is a-ok.

Of course, why should you care? The guy has the money to buy the property, he should be allowed to build whatever he chooses to build on it, right? Well, nine times out of ten I completely agree with that... this being the exception. We're talking about a city here, 11,000 people. The question then becomes, who will police these people? Who will govern these people? Do they expect to operate with local protection, local hospitals and vote in local elections, thereby siphoning off local tax dollars while refusing to abide by local law?

Do these people expect to move in, state a religious requirement, alter the rule of law to apply differently to their residents and then expect government help? Will doctors in hospitals in this town be allowed to perform abortions? Since they're banning condoms I'd imagine not, so does that mean that they've found a way to live outside of the law?

Come on now! Whether you agree with the principles that are founding this society or you don't, this should still frighten you. This sets quite a precedent, after all. Can I declare my living room an independent society and thus allow the legalization of prostitution, marijuana and gay marriage (if I find out that I can, please stop by Cory's House of Prostitution, Marijuana and Gay-Marriage for all of your PMG-M needs, fun and civil rights at a reasonable price)?

And if you're inclined to say, "well, if they don't like it they don't have to live there!" Then just imagine what happens when every billionaire buys a few acres and starts his own town. Sure, I'd love to live in George Soros-ville, but we have to draw a line. Maybe these people could just live in some sort of community... some sort of compound.

Nah, that'd never work... besides, those people in Waco were religious nuts, NOTHING like these guys... nothing at all.
