City Hall Strikes Out
Sam, the All-Knowing, All-Seeing, All-Fixing, is going to re-write church history.
In one swell foop, he will instruct all the Houses of God flying all their various flags what their true roles are in life.
To begin with, he has now advised from On High, that religious buildings (whatever those are...structures made of sinew that can feel your pain?) are simply and only places to worship.
God forbid you should feed or clothe or house a poor person. To do that, he Hath Decreed, one church, cathedral, mosque, synagogue or revival tent would need take out a "social-service-use" permit.
Which mean that to continue doing what these institutions have been doing since time immemorial, they would be subject to the whims and insensitivities of some effing brain dead bureaucrat clerk typist.
This, with unblinking irony, he calls The Civil City.
This is one sick puppy.

It gets better.
The Great Sam hath decreed that any church offering food to the hungry, clothing to the poor, must patrol the neighborhood two hours before and after any such charity work, and take names of everyone who passes through its doors for such charity events.
