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.

I'll never understand the mentality of someone who burns down a place of worship, regardless of whether they are a believer or not.

I don't understand the mentality of destroying anything, no matter what the cause.

Why can't they burn the Westboro Baptist Church down.

Hopefully with all its inbred members inside.

No joke here. And not apologizing.
