Religious persecution, or overbearing regulations?

primadox said

With that definition, any group the size of the group in question would have to get a permit. If you had a regular poker game at your house, or a group that got together monthly for a bar-b-que, or for whatever reason, do you really want to have to go get a permit? Isn't that overregulation? Don't our authorities have better things to do than to worry about the parking and permit issues involved with a gathering of friends in your own home?

Overregulation?absolutely. My point is that it has nothing to do with religion.

As for cops having better things to do in relation to my home rights...
When I moved into my current neighborhood I the trash day was different to my last, but I didn't know it. I put the trash out on sunday thinking trash passed on Monday. I left for work Monday and noticed the trash but it was 5:30am and I thought they may run later than by previous situation. Returned form work Monday, saw trash was still there, asked neighbor and realized the trash runs on tues, so, it being Monday night I left the trash out to be picked up Tues morn. Well Tuesday afternoon the police arrive at my house saying that a neighbor accross the street called the police because I left my trash out 3 days. No joke. The police came to my house over a trash can in MY yard, a clean, city issued trash can. Is that cool? Nope. I violated an ordinance and it had nothing to do with religion.
