Are you certain the law is being followed or is the law being abused.
To make it simple, like the speed limit law can either be enforced fairly or used as a speed trap to nail tourists with out of state plates.
In this case, there are religious overtones.
For instance, if the news media is correct, there are already religious restrictions on the sect members.
That is something to worry about.
I can remember when all you had to do in the South was mention the Catholic religion (of which I am not a member) and every preacher in earshot would practically froth at the mouth.
Are we going to ban certain religions? If so, I would like to submit my list.
Aha, I see where you’re coming from. I think you are barking up the wrong tree here (and this comes from a former Catholic who grew up in the south and in TX and lived right smack dab in the Bible Belt).
Clearly the judge believes she is following the law, but we’ll see what happens to the case in court. I see nothing in this whole mess that reeks of religious bigotry, any more than I would see religious bigotry in a case involving say, honor killing of a Muslim woman. When someone does things that are already illegal in the name of religion, they don’t get a pass. And, I think letting them do so is a far slipperier slope than the one people are concerned about here.
BTW you mentioned religious restrictions on sect members. Can you clue me in to those because this is the first I’ve heard of it (admittedly, I was out of town over the weekend and am a little behind.)
