[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

>>Can you point to some supporting facts in the article, or do yoou just feel inclined to assert it was only targeted because it was religious in nature.<<

You apparently did not even bother to read the article.

I will cite the statute itself:

City officials in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. say Chuck and Stephanie Fromm are in violation of municipal code 9-3.301, which prohibits “religious, fraternal or non-profit” organizations in residential neighborhoods without a permit.

[Pessimist]

And you apparently, and conveniently, overlooked the part about “fraternal or non-profit”.

The point is, they don’t want commerical level (albeit non-profit) activity in a residential neighborhood.

Obviously to you this is an assault on your religious freedom.

Reasonable peiople can disagree on this, but if I were his neighbor I wouldn’t want the traffic either - religious or not.

If he want’s to run a group like that, why not find suitable space? No community center, church back room, etc?
