The Good Dr. West reported this story earlier this week (Here). Unfortunately, not everyone was as skeptical as Dr. West seemingly was. The Blogosphere is aflame with the report now, but shouldn’t we be worried about a few things?
Here are a few highlights from the FoxNews story:
“On Good Friday we had an employee from San Diego County come to our house, and inform us that the Bible study that we were having was a religious assembly, and in violation of the code in the county.” David Jones told FOX News.
“We told them this is not really a religious assembly — this is just a Bible study with friends. We have a meal, we pray, that was all,” Jones said.
A few days later, the couple received a written warning that cited “unlawful use of land,” ordering them to either “stop religious assembly or apply for a major use permit,” the couple’s attorney Dean Broyles told San Diego news station 10News.
Well, the issues with this story are many:
- They are three miles away from their church
- No title given for the official
- The warning was ‘written’ – on what, a sticky note?
I guess I like to have a little bit more of the ‘fair and balanced’ report – such as the San Diego county’s side. Further, since no one is claiming responsibility for the County, why are people making such a big deal? How do we know it was not some irate neighbor who works for the county?
For a great response and a more balanced view, go here.
