I am admittedly and proudly godless, though I do not accept the designation of beelzebub (as I do not have a belief in such things), and I have other priorities than loathing churches.<BR/><BR/>My view is that churches should not have special privileges - not MCC, not Shiloh, not Third Baptist, not any of them. Churches should not be treated by the law any differently from any other organization. Likewise, if any church has its windows shot out, then the perpetrators should be found and brought to justice, just as if it were any other organization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-34519141563048664772008-03-19T16:22:00.000-05:002008-03-19T16:22:00.000-05:00By absolutely no means am I opposed to churches ge...By absolutely no means am I opposed to churches generally.<BR/><BR/>In terms of historic designations, though, I think it would be a slap in the face of the neighborhood to allow a church to "opt out." It's fundamentally unfair to the surrounding property owners.<BR/><BR/>Likewise, I think zoning is too lenient. A church needn't even consult, much less get the approval of neighbors before opening up in a residential row home. That's outrageous, I think, especially given that churches are property tax exempt (unless talking about vacant property).Shaw Rezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13445009438535700859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37539477.post-30716935160692311352008-03-19T16:16:00.000-05:002008-03-19T16:16:00.000-05:00You church loathing, godless, beelzebubs sure have...You church loathing, godless, beelzebubs sure have axes to grind with the churches (unless it's the MCC) !!!! what have they done to cause you so much ire ?
