Would it count if I had built or purchased a church to live in it like a home?
Just like what happened on the Simpsons in that one episode where that happened.
If I ever had the money, I would seriously consider doing that, especially if I can get architecture like in RAD's post and I could design my own stained glass windows. Though I'm sure that would guarentee that I could never date a theist again.![Confused Confused](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Well, it was a good idea while it lasted.

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
