What's amazing here is that some Karen/Chad had to complain about it to other Karens and Chads who then enacted this hateful law.
What's amazing here is that a judge thinks feeding people is a religious belief.
But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
Luke 14:13-14
Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
Luke 10:30-37
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Matthew 6:19-20
But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth
John 3:17-18
I would argue NOTHING is more central to Christianity than helping the homeless. And that's before we start getting into comparative religion and finding that almost every religion emphasizes enlightenment coming from giving compassion to those that have nothing
It absolutely is if you follow the word of Christ. Unfortunately, most self-proclaimed Christians reject the word of Christ.
Certainly makes more sense as a religious belief than not giving employees birth control.
This quickly upset Rev. Lindley from St. Timothy's Episcopal Church, who said feeding people is an essential part of their faith.
"That's the way we express our faith: by caring for people who are on the margins, especially people who are hungry," he said.
I don't see that as a stretch. Religions throughout history have held that we must act altruistically and help others, though adherents often don't respect that part of it all. For reference, I am a strict atheist.

Yep. The Fourth Pillar of Islam is to give to the poor. The House of Saud couldn't give less of a shit about the poor.
Saudi Arabia has crippling poverty and people living in slums.

Surprised brookings would be so conservative, I expected this to be in eastern oregon.
For once I'm on the side of church. Fuck that city for even passing such an ordinance in the first place.
