[...]
A Maine church that outgrew its meeting space applied with the local
school board to lease space at a high school for worship services, but
the school board appeared to apply a religious test to the church and
negotiations fell through. Now, the church is suing.

“Public institutions that seek to lease their facilities for revenue
should not be able to discriminate based on religious or political
conviction,” Mariah Gondeiro, vice president and legal counsel of
Advocates for Faith & Freedom, the law firm representing the church,
said in a press release exclusively provided first to The Daily Signal.
[...]

Assuming that the church's claim is accurate, I agree, the renting of
public facilities should not be predicated on religious beliefs. However
the cynic in me compels me to wonder how this would apply to a political
organization which calls for the overthrow of our nation's constitution.

The private church is wanting to
lease public property. It has no RIGHT
to the property. How do you sue over
something you have no right to?

Are you just getting leave that innuendo polluting the public pool
so everyone believes you this church calls for the overthrow of
our nation's constitution. Or are you going to clean this up?

Only a fool would think that I am claiming that the church calls for the
overthrow of the Constitution.

At the same time, the school board has no right to use religious
teachings as a reason to deny the lease.

Under the first amendment if the school rents to any 508c
organisation it has to rent to all equally.

Sorry, kid, I know how you lie about religion, but you're lying again.

They need a reason to select whom they rent to if they rent to any.

Idiot. This the same crap you get wrong all the time. If a schools
allows any religion oriented club on school grounds, it has to
allow all equally. Just like if a city allows any religion's
christmas display it has to allow all equally.

Tell me if I have this correct. A public school which rents out school
facilities to those in the community may reject any tenant they wish,
including religion, but a baker of custom baked goods may not cite moral
differences in a refusal to produce a custom cake. Is that correct?

What does renting school grounds to a
church have to with school clubs?

Different legal regimes. One is constitutional restrictions on
government and other is rooted in common law public accomodation
and common carrier.

So, if a school rents out it's auditorium to a local 4H club, they also have to rent it
out to the local Mob?

Funny thing. It seems I am right when I agree with you and wrong when I
don't. What do we call a person who has that criterion for "right"?

The person who is able to support his position sufficiently and can
defend his position is more likely to be "right". Take the last
thread for example. I provided facts and citation and you spend the
time deflecting and refuted nothing until you quit.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Funny thing. That's what you say about anyone who disagrees with you on
any topic. What do we call a person who does that?

In the past few days, we have:

"And Bradley the coward runs away."

"Go back to the original points and start again as
your responses have been a miserable failure."

"Not one honest post from you. Pathetic."

"And he's gone."

"And HH is gone..."

"Think Swilly boy will apologize for his stupidity?"

"Do you understand why I don't take you seriously yet?"

"You lose...again."

"See this is why I'm completely unable to take you seriously. You
apply absolutely no logic to your posts."

I can't find any examples where the debate ends with an understanding of
where you disagree with the other side rather than accusations from you
of deflection, dishonesty and running away.

Here's the very heart of YOUR problem as well as the others here. I
challenge something said and you and others go off on some tangent
which despite every attempt of mine to get you back on to the central
topic, you stay there. When you realize I'm not going to play your
game, you give up and quit. That IS deflection, dishonesty, and
running away. Refer to your recent thread about transgenderism and
review it with outside eyes if you truly want to understand. I doubt
you do but there it is.

Oh and are stalking my posts? :)

No, just those who are incapable of addressing a point that is raised
and then quietly vanish. The fact that it seems to be most of the
people I converse with says more about the intellectual dishonesty of
those who don't like my stances than anything else. Yes this
apparently includes you. Sorry you're not honest enough any longer to
reflect on that

Now you're going around in circles again. If people here won't defend
their points and engage in logical discourse, it's on them. Don't get
angry when I point it out. You yourself appear to engage in it so
there's that too. Simply judging me because I generally stay in a
dicussion until its conclusion does both of us a disservice.

According to you, *everyone* you engage with is guilty of not defending
their points and being illogical. Sorry, No Effin Way. When someone
believes *everyone* else is the problem, that someone is the problem.

Look at you engaging in name-calling. "Everyone" is your term as I
never said it. If there is a valid point on the table and the
opposition leaves the discussion, they aren't defending their point of
view. It's that simple. A specific example was a video was the
video I provided you from Jordan Peterson about the surge of people
who suddenly believe they are trans. You ignored it and refused to
address it yet he is a person far more credentialled that you and I
will ever be. It refuted your position and you chose to not engage.
That reflects on YOUR argument and not mine.

If your house / argument is not in order, I'm not the one being a
"troll". I'm just the one who exposed the flaw in your thinking.
