@AliceMarshall When I read about the injustice of criminalizing helping the homeless my anxiety starts to kick in. So morally bankrupt.

I am so used to Christians acting/behaving in unchristian ways. Who knew local governments are now forcing real Christians to be unchristian. "The Onion" is being out out of business thanks to the modern day Christians in the US.

@AliceMarshall It's cute how the pastor emphasizes that this is an "actual" violation of religious liberty, as if acknowledging that most claimed violations are spurious.

Petty, constipated authoritarians can't see the forest for the trees. In this case, codes meant to address long term public health issues now used to demean and threaten the lives of unhoused people.

This is local/state action in OHIO... a bastion of "that party" that claims it is the leader of all things moral and religious.
