Don't know how I feel about this.
Position 1: Isn't this what you red-staters want? Isn't this what society has been pushing for? The complete isolation of religion away from surrounding culture? Don't other groups (ethnic groups, sports fans, hobbyists, etc) do this in various ways, move to communities where their beliefs are not mocked but shared? Aren't we supposed to separate ourselves from the world?
Position 2: Christ doesn't call for us to isolate. In fact, just the opposite. That's what the whole Great Commission is all about: go out to those that don't know and love God and get them to know and love God. God doesn't call for you to shield yourself from unbelievers; where will your witnessing opportunities be if all around you are your brethren?
Position 2 is probably the correct one to take, but on days where the devil's winning, Position 1 looks awfully tempting.
