"This is actual religious persecution of a Christian by the state," said one journalist. "An actual violation of religious liberty."
Actually it's persicution of the poor, which is normal in America and something people should be more outraged by
both can be true and unfortunately in america one is better optics
One would think a church would have special privileges in this kind of situation.
Also the state doubling down on it being a “business” is so funnily on the nose to me.
I think they kinda do, hence the religious persecution accusation. This could easily be argued to be a violation of the first amendment. In top of the other more obvious reasons this was evil.
Um sweetie religious persecution is when I can't go open fire on a drag story hour.
How the fuck is letting homeless people crash at your place against zoning restrictions? How is that also seemingly a criminal offense? Good lord
EDIT: letting my friend stay over at my place and immediatly the inexplicably existing Bryan, Ohio Zoning Board SWAT Team busts down my door to arrest me for zoning violations
any church worth attending would be illegal and any religion with an ounce of worth would be violently repressed by the capitalist governments of the world IMO
this is why Manicheanism is possibly the One True Faith, the prophet Mani died in a prison which seems pretty legit as far as revolutionary fates go and their followers were mercilessly persecuted by Christians and other faiths, as one would expect the forces of Darkness to react to a prophet of the Light.
