News Hyperbole Watch: Christ Liberty Family Life Center
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 1:59 PM
Decatur Metro reports Christ Liberty Family Life Center has filed suit against Avondale Estates. The church says Avondale's three-acre-minimum requirement for churches unfairly discriminates against small congregations.
My gut tells me the church's complaint has merit, but I think the church's press statement overstates the case a bit:
"Our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are not risking their lives for municipal ukases that exclude and discriminate against people of faith."
Avondale is lots of things. "Reminiscent of Czarist Russia" is not one of them.
