    If you don’t want people to use a building for whatever they want to use a building for, don’t deconsecrate it.

      Because evangelical religions operate this way?

    Fuck Christians and fuck Christianity, it’s an evil religion that deserves no respect. The only good use of a church is a nightclub filled with sex, drugs, and dark music.

    Disgusting to see Christians influencing what others do.

    That’s the most attendees that church has seen in years. They should have saved it by attending mass more.

    I have no strong opinions about this topic

    Edit: Okay now I may have an opion. Those “christian groups” as the report says, shound’t be that concernd since one of their principles is non-attachment to material things.

    Anyways, everyone will forget this in a while, and luckly christian still be christian, and LGBT still LGBT. Stay good everyone, stay low.

    Well that’s just in poor taste. I’m not surprised people protested.

      Matthew 5:38-40 Young’s Literal Translation:
      38 `Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth; 39 but I – I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other; 40 and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take – suffer to him also the cloak.

    There was a very famous club in New York in the 80s and 90s called the Limelight that was in an old church, I’m sure there was some controversy about it but it went on for many years. I wonder if that could still happen now. Anyway there’s some fascinating stories there
