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.
No, actually there are special laws against desecrating churches that do not apply to crack houses. Some of us in society do distingush one building from another.
But you and I know that a church and a crackhouse are in no way the same.
You just said they were. "A building is just a building."
Either a structure dedicated for the use of God's people in worship and other ways is different, or it is not. Which is it?
