Sunbury, where I live (birthplace of the ashes ...founded 1812), there are very old historic churches that have been declared derelict. What to do?
Knock 'em down? or stabilize them and keep them for the sake of history? I say knock it down ...there's enough old churches to look at...

The good ones, keep for their workmanship and detail if significant.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

4000 unused churches?  You could house a lot of homeless people in those.

We could give some to the muslims to save them building new mosques.

The muslims would be happy because they would get them for free.
The locals would be happy because the churches blend in better.
The CofE would be happy as they their followers have to fill up other churches.
The Daily Mail would be happy as it would give them something to rant about.

Give them away. It's the christian thing to do.

Most of them seem to be turned into pubs.
Which is surprising as most pubs are being turned into flats.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Walgreens ??

CVS ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
