A Florida family now faces fines for hosting weekly Bible study sessions in their home.
Shane and Marlen Roessiger, of Venice, Fla. are facing a $250 per day fine for hosting Friday night prayer and Bible study gatherings that are attended by as many as 10 people. “It is difficult to understand how it is illegal to have a prayer meeting on Friday night with a half dozen people but it is alright if I invited the same group on Monday evening to watch Monday night Football,” Roessiger said. The Roessigers are also facing a fine for putting a small sign in their front yard.
Gee, maybe they should riot and kill people instead. That way the government would call them members of the religion of peace and let them practice their religion freely.
