I thought we had freedom of Religion. How can you have freedom of religion when the Law makers say if you’re homeless you have to go to a church to get food and if you’re not homeless and you give them food you are charged a fine and $110 for cost of court? Why do you have to be a Christian to be fed? and how can you make feeding hungry people against the law? Does it come off to anyone other than me as convert or die? what is that?

I live in NC and they just passed that law. I didn't think it could be done.

I don't quite understand the question. I know for a fact our church gives to who ever comes and asks. We don't know if these people are Christians or not. It really doesn't matter.There are several places around that give.

Where did you hear that? There are homeless shelters to go to, those aren't churches. I've never seen anyone fined for giving a homeless person food or money and I've never seen a law that said, "Don't help the atheist homeless". You are grossly misinformed.
I've fed several homeless and jobless persons, given money to many on the streets and never once was I arrested. I've never seen anyone say, "You must go to a church for food". I think you're just making it up.

That should tell you how much Democrats REALLY care about you. They shuffle you off to some Church to feed you! Fortunately, churches don't require you to convert in order to get food.

It's because the cities don't want homeless anymore, not a conversion process. I say, give them the damn meal if you want, screw the law. Just don't get caught. Or make your own soup kitchen.

the law is not concerned wether or not you become a Christian, it is only passing the buck onto religion to do, what the government do not want to do themselves, it always comes down to economics with the state.

I think a homeless person doesn't have to be a Christain to get free food.
