Quote:I still think it violates the principle of sacred ground.And I still think the concept of "sacred ground" is idiotic. To whom is it sacred? Why should I consider it sacred if I don't hold the same beliefs? Respect for others' beliefs? Then you better stop eating beef because some religions consider cows sacred.
There has to be a point where we draw the line as to how much power any one person's beliefs can hold over another's. A church is a "sacred" place, but it is also a public place. Commiting a crime in a church is no worse than commiting a crime in a parking lot. Except for the perception. A perception that must be questioned as there are so many religions and so many perspectives.
