Do you really want to put the government in the position of deciding which of **your** religious beliefs are silly and whether you should be allowed to avail yourself of government facilities and functions without violating them?

I'm not sure what I said that would indicate that's how I feel. I'm simply saying that it's the faith of a worshipper that makes a place, any place, sacred to that person, not what others think of it.

It's not the government that's making this function off limits, it's the person's religion.

I see what you're saying though, and I would have no problem if a group, any group, decides not to use the facilities of Bayshore Baptist Church here in Tampa where I am a member for any reason whatsoever.

It's all about tolerance, and strangely enough those who demand the most of it seem to have the least of it.
