Last time I checked, God didn't really make reference to the sin of more than three people living together unless they are related by "blood, marriage or adoption".
Does this town have nursing homes?

I agree, Lil. Just as I feel that we should not intentionally remove God from our society, I also feel that we should not legislate "false morality". I like your example of nursing homes. In the town I referenced earlier, I found it amusing that we COULD have dorms where hundreds of girls lived together, but not houses where ten lived together. Like many laws, many of them are not well thought out.
I am a Christian, and I make no apologies for it. I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus is the only way into Heaven, and that apart from Jesus, there is no other way into Heaven. And if asked, I am more than willing to tell anyone about it. But I can not and will not force it on anyone. It is their choice - I cannot make it for them. I will gladly show them the door. But they must walk through it. And I believe it is wrong for anyone to force their religion on anyone else. But I also think it is wrong for anyone to force their lack of religion on anyone else.
