It's funny cause I am a believer but don't go to church. I'll be going tonight with the family. The last time I went was last Christmas eve.
Churches are usually more than just a place of worship. The older ones have a significant place in the history of a community. The number of weddings, christening/baptisms and funerals alone is reason for importance.
What ever the reason some people might have for destroying a symbol of faith it is a futile effort. I think about the bombings and burnings during the Civil Rights movement and how that just strengthen the resolve of those who believe their cause is just.
