Desecration of a church is something I don't like. I won't apologise for that. It's not about an "ideeological box" whatever the **** that is.

Very over dramatic to talk of "the very social frabric of our civilisation is being torn apart", esp given that the unfettered greed and selfishness has existed since God created Adam & Eve. It didn't originate from the 2007 / 2008 financial crisis and it won't end once the Occupy movement burns itself out in early 2012.

If the churches (Kings of Columbus and LDS) hadn't banded together in California to push through an agenda of hate in the form of Proposition 8 I might feel differently, but if you're going to get in the muck, you'd better be ready to get dirty. The churches gave up their right to feign desecration when they funded an election to take away my right to marry the person of my choice. Game over.

There's no game over as that would suggest you've won some sort of victory. You haven't. Desecration is desecration is desecration.

like the desecration of childrens lives at the hands of pedophiles in priests robes. seems like it comes from both sides and the church has never struck me as a victim of anything throughout history.

It's an American colloquial term, referring to the end of a video game. I haven't won a thing. As a matter of fact, we all lose.

The church has no right after what they did to us in California. None. They have no right in America after they allowed the protests at the funerals of fallen soldiers. They lose the right to absolution from desecration in this country by their behavior. When it's all said and done, St. Peter is going to look at these clowns and ask them why in the world they think they should be allowed past the pearly gates because they have not followed God's word. Perhaps the church has behaved better in England. Oh no, that can't be it, that's why we're here in the America in the first place.

Neither you nor anyone else in this "Occupy" movement has the right to judge, same as religious zealots do not have that right. Two sides of the same coin in my book and the coin looks rather tainted.

How the **** do you know what St. Peter thinks?

where i live the churches support the Occupy movement and have even offered to allow the protesters to camp in their parking lot. they even have erected signs in support of the uprising on the church lawns. we never hear anything along the lines of protesters = degenerate/protesters/mentally ill/homeless/etc/etc/etc/desecraters/blahblah.

i love when churchy people are actually acting like christians. just sayin.

Your interpretation of "acting like christians" is different from mine. just sayin.

It seems that quite often people forget about the Christ part of their Christianity. This is really cool to hear.

if i believed in such things i'd agree with you. i think the idea of a jesus is as bizarre as adam and eve, virgin moms, resurrections, talking snakes, and parting an ocean with a stick. however, the "message" of christianity is to love thy brother. and i'm pretty sure "jesus" was quoted in the bible speaking out against wealth. if i really gave a shit i could look it up. nope...too lazy. neener.
