Home: No place for Bible study County demands pastor obtain $10,000 permit to host friends (Congress, illegal)

WTH............


The First Amendment, in part, reads,
'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,'" Broyles said.
"And that's the key part: 'prohibiting the free exercise.' We believe this is a substantial government burden on the free exercise of religion."

County demands pastor obtain $10,000 permit to host friends

A San Diego pastor and his wife claim they were interrogated by a county official and warned they will face escalating fines if they continue to hold Bible studies in their home.

The couple, whose names are being withheld until a demand letter can be filed on their behalf, told their attorney a county government employee knocked on their door on Good Friday, asking a litany of questions about their Tuesday night Bible studies, which are attended by approximately 15 people.

"Do you have a regular weekly meeting in your home? Do you sing? Do you say 'amen'?" the official reportedly asked. "Do you say, 'Praise the Lord'?"

The pastor's wife answered yes.

She says she was then told, however, that she must stop holding "religious assemblies" until she and her husband obtain a Major Use Permit from the county, a permit that often involves traffic and environmental studies, compliance with parking and sidewalk regulations and costs that top tens of thousands of dollars.

Good. We honestly don't need more people indoctrinated with religious b.s. And if he doesn't like the laws of San Diego, he can hop on a plane down to the bible belt.

So you think only people in the "Bible" Belt only believein God? And only people in the "Bible Belt" should o nly be allowed to have Bible studies in their homes.
Does that also mean that only people who dont like religion should be in CA? Or only their voice should be heard?
How narrow minded.

People with this attitude fail to realize that eventually the State will be coming after them....sooner or later. The rose-colored glasses keep them from seeing that they are in essence supporting a "cult" and giving their Dear Comrade godlike powers. Only this "cult" offers no redemption, no forgiveness, does not honor life; but DOES require strict adherence (obedience) to its regulations....or suffer dire consequences. It is coming. What will it take to stop the madness I wonder.

Why does the government care what is going on inside the house?

Let them have Bible studies in their house. Who cares?

Or Spokane, WA, which is far more conservative than the pinko commies in Seattle. I'm praying for a volcano eruption tonight. I hope it wipes Seattle off the map.
