But that would be interfering with the arsonist's free will!

Is is not wonderful that not only is church property tax-exempt, it is also heavily insured.

All this means is that I have to pay more taxes to make up for what the church doesn't pay and I have to pay higher premiums on insurance because of arson, maybe set by the pastor himself.

Wonderful.

What are the churches insured against?

Acts of God? Hmmmm...

I hear you there.

You don't understand sullster. Satan does it and we have no control over that. About 10 years ago we had satan coming to our town just before construction began on a full Gospel church. The reason we know this is because he had painted his name on several old buildings around town to show his objection to the proposed new church. This happened more than once and so it was published in the local paper just after the planned development was announced.

About a month or so later when most of the wood framing was done the church burned down. That's all I know. Oh yes, it was insured and a founding member first noticed the fire. That is how it was reported by the same newspaper.

What I found most interesting is that satan gave a fair warning. For the rest I don't really care.
