SM,

Unfortunately you can't recycle LIBERAL PARTY trash, I'm told they are GARBAGE and have to go into the red bin for incineration.

Albo will inevitably fall victim to the same corrupt & incompetent bureaudroids that fell all of his predecessors.
Imagine trying to run the show with bureaudroids of Paul1405's character & mentality !.

VI,

I thought of using gangrene pamphlets as toilet paper, but with several skid marks on them already it wouldn't be hygienic.

ok again but:

Would you not consider then, the intentions of the giver of the Bible to be pure?

Why would the donor not have an expectation of a right to perform the charity, as ipposed to the residents objection to overrule the donor’s legal right to enter the property for legal purposes?

There is a historical example to draw on.
Once in this Country it was customary for peddlers of goods and services to visit door to door, (as it was termed), to sell their goods and services.

As a counter to this practice, signs were often seen attached to front gates, prohibiting the entry of such peddles of services entry.
Such people, having been duly warned by the sign, were considered then to be trespassing if the boundary was crossed.

But then came the current norm of building caveats in many development areas, prohibiting the building of front fences, which would normally define a boundary, making any signage less effective.

It seems then, the argument reduces to a philosophical question of solving the dilemma of equal rights.
One argument in the mix would be ; what of the rights of those who wish to benefit from such charity, and have no objection towards it?

The Bible is a record of how God dealt with people and how people dealt with each other. The Hebrew text identifies the culture of Israel. The New Testament deals with the way and the truth and the light as revealed by Jesus Christ. Understanding and living that truth changes character and develops deeper love for others. Reading it encourages purity of life.

As for the book of Mormon it is a fiction and the original included texts lifter out of the Old Testament and Shakespeare.

Dear Dan,

But I was not speaking of "legal" - states and their laws are created by Godless people and count for nothing, they have nothing to do with morality and all that is behind them is brute force.

A house, with a front fence where possible, is one way religious people can mitigate the terror of the secular state and general society, a fortress within which individuals, families and communities can live according to their religious values, not disturbing anybody else and minimising the disturbances from outside. Signs too can be helpful to a certain degree.

Overpopulation makes it very difficult for people to protect their spiritual integrity by isolating themselves in their own spaces - that is the root of the problem we face today.

My point was simple: people can be hurt even when the perpetrators have good and charitable intentions. The perpetrator's ignorant lack of consideration for others and failing to place themselves "in others' shoes", neither pleases God, nor honours the Bible. A measure of sensitivity can go a long way - sensitivity rather than "rights".
