Thread Name: BS: Religious Freedom vs. Local Zoning Laws
Subject: RE: BS: Religious Freedom vs. Local Zoning Laws
Why would someone whose religion requires them to be near a place of worship move into a neighbourhood where there is clearly no place of worship near by ? Further, why would you then expect the community to change the rules when you chose to live there. Also, Is a walk of a mile or so considered too long. Perhaps an accommodation could be made by putting a church on the edge of the community. People should look to the law to save them from a lack of foresight. They should also not call existing laws bigotry because they haven't gotten their own way.
