What’s interesting about this lawsuit, though, is that Paxton is effectively suing a Christian ministry for helping unhoused people—and the ministry plans to respond to the threat by saying they have a religious right to assist others:

    This is Texas. The government will do nothing to help homeless people. I’d rather see a church do something about it than no one. You may feel differently, but I would prefer it if people didn’t needlessly suffer when someone is willing to help them even if that someone does not agree with my worldview.

    It’s not like I have to go to their church.

      This is kinda where I’m at. I don’t like unhoused people having to rely on religious charities, BUT I won’t turn help away just because it’s not from the “right people.”
