Did I say they broke in and stole people's Bibles? I said that in some cities, police have knocked on the doors of homes where Bible studies are held and have told the homeowners they can't have their meetings any longer because the cars of those who attend take up all the available parking on the street. These people were parked legally. The police had no standing to make the request that the meetings stop happening. It was an attempt at intimidation.
Of course there are many police officers who are solid Christians, or solidly religious in general. There are many conservatives who are also solidly religious, but look at the opposition Christianity gets on threads such as this, in a conservative discussion site. Sorry you're oblivious to the war on religion, particularly the Christian religion, in this country.

What cities, please? I've asked several times. Do you know what cities these were, or is this some story you read on some web site that didn't list the cities? If that's the case, then I doubt the story's true at all. If you know it to be true, then you must know what cities these were.

But exactly why would a police department want to intimidate people studying the Bible? There are streets, you know, where only residents are allowed to park. And police will always respond if there's a complaint.
Could you please tell where and when this happened? Perhaps a little documentation? I simply cannot believe that police across the nation are breaking up Bible studies.

I've seen very little, if any, opposition to Christianity on this or any other thread on this subject. I have seen opposition to Judge Moore's using his secular government position to advance his religious views. I'd oppose that if he were a Satanist, a Moslem, a Jew, or any religious persuasion.
