Well, a building is just a building.

A building set apart for the service of God is not "just a building."

Do you then not favor laws against the desecration of churches? Is burning down a crack house the moral or legal equivalent of burning down a church?

Yes, it is "just a building."

Do you then not favor laws against the desecration of churches?

No. Vandalism is unlawful, period.

Is burning down a crack house the moral or legal equivalent of burning down a church?

Well, if arson is the reason, then the law treats them equally. But you and I know that a church and a crackhouse are in no way the same.
