Marriage is a Christian foundation, and despite the fact that as Cerek, I consider it a sin, I believe we shouldn't mess with that, just as I don't mess with eating meat and calling it Ramadan.

Hahaha. Yeah, and major Christian Churches are Roman Pagan State-Religion temples with crucifixes added [img]tongue.gif[/img] Marriage doesn't have its foundations in Christianity man. Christianity inherited it.
edit: spelling. [/QUOTE]Except that Christianity started over 4,000 years ago. You're only counting from the Jewish schism circa 33AD. If you have a Christian Worldview, you'd be saying that Adam and Eve were married, so it was from the year dot. It's understandable if someone with a Christian perspective cites marriage as an initially "christian" (read, God-intended) state of being. It's understandable if the atheist evolutionist disagrees.
Live and let live.
As for building swapping use, there's nothing strange about that. My church meets in a film academy and a Theatre. They're just buildings. Nothing Holy about the buildings. The church is the people.
Islam has Holy places though, and plenty of old christian church buildings have been sold to Muslim groups.
