I don't see how to do anything about that short of sending in careworkers to screen for homosexuality and escort the unfortunates out. These people want to be able to live apart from the rest of us. If that includes stoning their own children, I say let them. If they worship a truly loving God, let him manage their illness. If, on the other hand, they worship the god I think they do, a bloodthirsty war god, then he'll be quite happy with them for going back to a simpler time when women knew to shut up and get back into the kitchen, when children were seen and not heard unless they were being slapped around for touching themselves, and when good God-fearing people cleansed their communities of Satan and anything different by the healing touch of sharpened rocks thrown as hard as humanly possible. (/sarcasm)
Honestly, I'd find great pleasure in hearing that they'd failed utterly in trying to keep their theocratic haven running, were dying by the score, and were begging to be allowed back into civilization, only to be turned away and reminded that they had asked for this. But then, I'm probably more bloodthirsty than most people.
Indeed, I remember you from the whole refusal to get a c-section flap a few months back. Now you're worried about someone's kids?
I take it you would deny a group the right to self-governance in the name of the old tried and true battle cry, "Won't someone think of the children?!?" delivered at the highest volume a bleeding heart can produce. I worry greatly about your opinion, then, truly I do, about as much as I fear that Jerry Falwell is right to blame 9-11 on the gays, pagans, and general distancing of America from his brand of Crosstianity.
