If they wanted a civil service they should have gone to the court house.

dont the church have civil rights too? These people are trying to force their view onto others. It has moved from a private matter to something that will effect others

Yep. A church is not obligated to offer its facilities to non-believers.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

It’s like a Christian going into a mosque and demanding a Christian ceremony.

But of course that's not what they're really up to, is it?

No.

They want to destroy what marriage is and churches that are God fearing.

Abit like demanding the right to rent a Baptist hall in order to have a casino night.

Membership to a church is voluntary (WELCOME TO THE USA!)

If you do not agree with the basic teachings of the church, do not join.

These people are like BullDikes in a china shop.

Don’t sue; just keep looking for a church that will do this nasty deed. I’m sure you will find a church that will, and in short order. GOD save us all!!!!

What the.........?

So you can’t pray in school because of Separation of Church and State but the state can infringe upon the church?

Because, of course, they just want to be left alone to live their lives in private (/extreme sarcasm)

You can’t terrorize a church if you go to the courthouse : )
