The church in my school yard
#1
The church in my school yard
For those of you who don't know, I'm from Romania. I go to C.D. Loga Highschool in Timisoara, and a church has been build in the school yard. It was finished last year.
Short after the church was finished I visited it with my class and a teacher, and that was all. Since then I never saw anyone from my school enter it, but there are many classes from other schools that come to this church and are allowed to. Even people who aren't students or teachers at any school are allowed to come, I've seen even old people and parents with little children. Maybe the students at my school are allowed to enter, but even then, I don't think they would have enough room, because the church is small.
I told my mom about this, and she replied that the church let's every believer enter. I love my mom, but her answer is more than ridiculous. I'm an atheist, and I'm happy that I don't have to go to this church, and even I think that what they're doing is bullshit! If you want a church for everyone, build a church for everyone, don't build it in a schools yard and then let anyone, but the ones who go to this school enter it.

If you don't believe that a church can be build in a schools back yard, here are some photos:

I can also show you links to articles about this church, but they're all in the romanian language.

Have you actually asked the school officials if students and staff are allowed?

If you are atheist, why would you even care whether or not you are allowed inside?

Jesus that's one punk ugly building. Consider yourself lucky you don't have to enter the thing.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I said that I'm actually happy that I don't have to go there, but I still think that what they're doing is stupid. A school is an institution for learning, and we have religion class in school, so it would be logical that the church would be used for the religion class, but it's not. And we have enough churches in town, bigger ones, so other people shouldn't come to our tiny church. I think that other people are allowed, because they're more likely to give money.
The church as an institution should be criticised for it, but it isn't, not enough at the very least. And the fact that I have to live in such a country can be irritating at times. 
I didn't ask anyone if the students or staff are allowed, because I'm not very curious, and they might think that I want to enter it. As I said, even if they're allowed, they wouldn't have enough space.

It does look better on the inside, I'm sstill happy that I don't have to enter it though.

That looks like a barn with a door that got left open and all of the sheep got loose. 

School yard? Is that for physical activity? If yes and your country has bats (baseball) you could always try for home run hits.

This is not the whole school yard, we do have a footbal field and some benches. However, the school yards in Romania are small compared to other countries.
And baseball is not popular in my country. There may be some who practice it, but I've never seen a romanian playing baseball.

Why would we not believe a church could be built on a school's grounds?

Then I think you need to be a trail blazer and make the side of the church the left field wall. 

Batter up!

I've never heard about a church in a schools yard, so I thought it rarely happens.
