Flaming Methodist Haters

Before you go believing that Muslims in New York are the only religious group being denied an opportunity to express their religious freedoms by building a structure, you need to read this.

Here in Porkopolis, there has been an on going feud with a Methodist church and the neighbors in Hyde Park, a nice area within the city.

Apparently, these people hate Christians. How else do you explain the continued fighting of the neighbors with an already existing church who simply wants to build addition and parking to their facility?

It's been awhile since we've provided an update on our neighborhood situation regarding Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church (HPCUMC). This has been because we have, since September, been in formal mediation with HPCUMC in an attempt to satisfactorily resolve our neighborhood dispute in a way that provided adequate protection to our neighborhood, as promised by HPCUMC in their 2001 letter.

As a bit of background, we agreed with HPCUMC last September to formally initiate a mediation process. We jointly engaged a highly respected mediator with substantial experience in issues like ours. HPCUMC designated one of their members, along with their legal counsel, to be members of their mediation team; Keith Harrison and Tim Burke represented PHP. The mediation team met on three separate occasions during the course of the Fall, with each session lasting 2-4 hours. In addition, the outside mediator met with a small group of neighbors on two different occasions to understand neighborhood concerns and to explore different possible scenarios.

Just who do these people believe they are? Denying the rights of a religious groups to justify their carnal NIMBY impulses.

Of course, everyone knows that the Methodists have backed terrorists for years and the building of this facility is just an attempt to rub the noses of the nearby Presbyterians and Catholics in it. In addition, Methodists were probably responsible for bringing down 100 story building in Hyde Park Square.

Actually, I've been meaning to get down there to take some photographs. As soon as I do, you'll be able to see how those Methodists have run down the Hyde Park Hood.

None the less, it's nice to see that Americans are not out just hating on those pesky Methodists.
