Re: Theistic Ghettoism
I thought the e-mail was quite humorous. Though it was probably not meant to be a serious suggestion, I think the undertones are meant to point up the problems of intolerance.
BTW, I really like this Theistic Ghetto idea. Ghetto has a rather negative connotation in this political environment however. If we are to get the township to set up zoning in which all theistic structures must be located then a less emotionally-loaded name must be found.
"Yes, we'd like to have this parcel re-zoned from Agricultural to Theistic, please."
"I'm sorry. This area is within 15,000 feet of a school and cannot be zoned Theistic. The only Theistic zoning available in town is in the southwest quadrant between Heavy Industrial and Whore Houses."
This idea has appeal.
That would clearly be a violation of the Free Exercise Clause.
