		<description>I think we&#039;ve got some Christians trying live out the &quot;Left Behind&quot; plot they read in a book.

When they start persecuting the Christians, then Jesus will come back.

D.
----------------
It&#039;s an overly strict zoning law, easily fixed:

&quot;Under the code if you meet once, with more than two people, and it is a religious gathering then it is a violation of the code,&quot; said David Napier of the Alliance Defense Fund...

Fortunately, the Alliance Legal Defense Fund has stepped to the plate in defense of common sense. They are joining in the effort to have the unjust zoning law repealed. Vice Mayor Linda Abbott has expressed her opposition to the zoning law, expressing the opinion that it will probably be repealed. The town council of Abbott will vote on a motion to repeal the law on March 23rd.&quot;

		<description>Per the study in Arizona article:
There had been no complaints about the meetings, which had been rotating among members&#039; homes before the officer wrote the letter and ordered the group to &quot;terminate all religious meetings … regardless of their size, nature or frequency,&quot; because he noticed signs about the meetings.</description>

		<description>The story specifically states that the people were not allowed to gather at the homes.

If parking is the issue (as it would be with a Superbowl party) then issue parking citations.  You cannot tell people they may not gather in a home just because the parking is a problem.  Handle the parking problem.

And the people indicated they rotate.

If parking is the issue then say so and be done with it by issuing parking tickets or warnings.  I am glad I live on a private street and have decent neighbors.</description>

		<description>Apparently this is a favorite pet issue of WND. Since these sort of ordinance/zoning issues pop up rather regularly they like to jump on these and get the Christians all stirred up. Brings back the old martyr memories from 2,000 years ago.

Then they stick this ad in the middle of their &quot;news&quot; report:

&quot;Remind the world who&#039;s really in charge with the &quot;Worship GOD, not GOV&quot; magnetic bumper sticker from WND.&quot;

I looked at several of these stories and they all read very much the same. Here is a different incident but with similar with circumstances and typical results:

***
&quot;The county is not saying don&#039;t pray at home, what the county is saying is be a good neighbor&quot; said Chandra L. Wallar, who serves as general manager of San Diego County&#039;s Land Use and Environment Group.

Wallar said the county received a complaint regarding parking, and they were obligated to investigate.

The complaint alleged that &quot;cars were blocking access for themselves and for public safety&quot; said Wallar. &quot;The staff believed there were traffic issues...There were violations, principally due to the parking, and it appeared the use of the property was a religious assembly.&quot;

Wallar believes there is a &quot;miscommunication&quot; here; often, she said, people who are cited for the first time take it &quot;personally&quot;. &quot;They focused on the &#039;use&#039; because they really didn&#039;t understand our process.&quot;

She wants to work with the Jones family on solutions to the parking problems including carpooling, parking down the street, or having bible study members rotate their homes.

&quot;I want to say in the most direct terms: the County has never tried to stifle religious expression and never will,&quot; said County CAO Ekard.

Major use permits are often given to churches, synagogues and other places of gathering. They take into account traffic concerns, engineering issues, architecture considerations and more. The main purpose is to assess the feasibility of large gatherings occurring at a particular location.&quot;

		<description>Scouting and football are also religions, and must follow the same rules as the rest regarding parking.</description>

		<description>Then all the gov&#039;t needs to do is ticket the offending cars.  Not ban the activity that causes the viulation, lest they are prepared to control EVERY activity that goes on in a home.

Sheesh!</description>

		<description>And why is it that liberals see nothing wrong with allowing muslims to practice their hate, but it&#039;s wrong to meet for bible study?
I don&#039;t understand the logic in that at all!</description>

		<description>Nobody should have to have a permit to use their home for anything.
Geez people!
Stop bending over for the government!
Soon you are going to allow them to use your home for whatever they see fit.</description>
