I'd probably just live in it.  It would be a bigger pussy magnet than owning a nice car.  There's loads of ways to make money of space like that.  As a music venue, or I know of a church in London that was used for some fetish sex club night.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Sorry, you said London.

Host an orgy.

I imagine there's a lot of people who would like to have an orgy in a church. Even if nobody attends the church anymore.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

My wife and I have been toying with the idea of buying one downtown and turning it into a house/magic shop/wizard lair. Maybe one day if we're not poor...
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

What about good plain old nature, home for animals, considering: Mormon Church destroys super rare Owl habitat to expand a parking lot
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I don't know, I've never seen that. Is it a TV show, or a movie?

A movie! Directed by Tom Hanks. I love it, I watch it whenever I see it on TV.
