Freedom, Tex, means they can do that. Or have an amway meeting, or a boy scout meeting, or a bridge club, or a zillion other associations that require regular get-togethers.
It is wrong to pick out only religion for sanction, but this is deeper even than that.
It is wrong for government to tell us with whom and how we can associate. I have a man in my church who honestly is from a family that had 24 children. When they get together with kids and grandkids, it's a small town that moves in.
Are we going to tell them they can't get together 'cause their family was just too darn large?
Or are we going to uphold free association and the right "peacably to assemble".
What I am debating is the need for zoning laws to be enforced with all parties rights being considered. There is a point (a debatable point) at which a bible study could morph into a church. If that area is not zoned for a church,h then a church shouldn't be allowed.
BINGO!
If the issue is parking why don't the neighbors talk with these people. The article says it's only 7 adults so the most we're talking about is 7 cars.
I suspect there is something else going on. Maybe the ethnicity of the Christians or the enthusiasm of their worship. It doesn't really matter. If I don't want the govt telling me who can come to my house I shouldn't allow the govt to tell someone else who can come to their house.
