The Amish would probably be quite insulted to be compared to the C.S.A. They are not in the habit of using the death penalty.
Also, you still haven't answered my questions from way back when... they can be found earlier in the thread.
Have you ever read The Handmaid's Tale? It is a warning about many of the ideas that the hypothetical C.S.A are founded on.
Perhaps you have been reading... well, I don't know what you've been reading, but the Amish are not a violent people. They don't put people to death. They do have people leave the Amish community, but they do not, in any way, put them to death. Here are some Amish websites. Perhaps the Amish are a little too left-wing for you, though... there is nothing about putting people to death; instead, they shun offending members... a much more peaceful system than anything mentioned about the C.S.A.
The Amish would probably object strongly to the government controls and the violence that the laws of the hypothetical C.S.A is based on.

Notice that the Amish give a chance for their children to learn more about the rest of society; they do not force them the choice of staying or risking being killed by the state.
Where ever did I say that someone would be killed for trying to leave the New C.S.A.? What?
No, no, no! If anyone wanted to leave the awesome country of the New C.S.A. they but need to pack! See ya!
Real Christians who wanted to live a peaceful and happy life would love living in the C.S.A.. It is only those who are law breakers and those who hate authority that would not like the C.S.A..
Murderers, rapists, kidnappers, homosexuals, abortionists...ect.. These would not want to come to the C.S.A.. These would stay far far away from the C.S.A.. AND THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING!
SOLA GRATIA.
