Conservative attorneys reframed a public safety issue as anti-Christian discrimination—and judges fell for it

Fire code violations because they’re operating a homeless shelter. Without fire sprinklers, with a dryer that’s improperly connected and leaking gas, with a BBQ inside.

And there is a legal shelter with capacity next door

Sure that makes sense, because GOD will keep them from burning-up, LOL.
Even their ignorant lives matter, but they are fighting to put themselves in danger.

Same for anti vax on religious grounds.

Almost inevitability an "exmption on relgious grounds" is because of hate (the gays) or stupidity (anti vax etc)

Going to bookmark this one for the inevitable follow-up story which will be a shocking and not at all predictable tragedy.

OK then, no using public resources to battle fires at your religious institution.

Maybe they can invite a washed up 80's hair band to put on a show, with indoor fireworks, what could possibly go wrong?

Sounds like a night destined to make headlines. They'll need to lock down all but one door to ensure nobody tries to get in without a ticket.

Does anyone else feel like posting this here feels more anti-theist than atheist? Just seems unnecessarily antagonistic to me. Maybe it's just me, I can be wrong.

Edit for clarity: This is dumb, these people are dumb, anyone with half a brain should know that trying to skirt fire codes is really fricking stupid, regardless of their religious proclivities or lack thereof.
