There's Gotta Be More To The Story...

I was reading the news this evening on Fox News and came across a story that I just can hardly believe is true! According to the article http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,522637,00.html?test=latestnews a couple in San Diego has been told by the county that they are no longer allowed to hold their weekly Bible study in their home. I've looked at several different sources, and here's main gist of the story: Pastor David Jones and his wife Mary hold a Bible study (which averages 15 people) every week at their house (the church he pastors is a few miles down the road). They have a meal together and then pray. Apparently, a visitor to a neighbor's house had their car hit by someone who was attending the Bible study and called the police to make a complaint. So, on Good Friday an employee of San Diego County came to the couple's house to question them about their Bible study, asking questions like "Do you have a regular meeting at your home?" and "Do you say amen?" and "Do you pray?" All, of course, answered with "Yes." The county employee then informed the couple that they were in violation of County regulations (although, I haven't read anywhere yet that lists what specific county regulations they were accused of being in violation of). They were told to stop the "unlawful use of land" with their weekly Bible study, or they would have to apply for a major use permit (to hold a religious assembly), which would cost tens of thousands of dollars! WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON HERE??? I don't even understand how the County could even remotely think they can control people's freedom to meet inside their home for a Bible Study! That's why I said there's gotta be more to the story...otherwise, I just don't see how it's even possible! Now, I've read all the naysayers, who are saying things like "Well, maybe they live on a cul-de-sac, and 15 cars creates a parking hazard and inconvenience" or "Maybe he's holding a Bible study twice a day, each day of the week or like 100 people attend" (although Jones has stated that it's only once a week and averages 15 people a week). One ignorant comment I read said, "Well, if he pastors a church, then he should just leave the religious stuff there at the church and not bring it to his home" [I'm sorry, but what an idiot!] For the sake of America's First Amendment freedom of religion, I certainly hope that there's more to this story than meets the eye! If not, then I say - take it all the way to the federal courts if need be!
