Now if they only provide marriage services/access to their building to MEMBERS of the church, or can prove they only perform marriages to those who are adherants to thier particular set of beliefs, I agree they have legal standing to refuse all others.
but open that door one crack, and rent out to some couple who are not christian, and they will never again be able to refuse a gay couple who wishes to rent from them.
That is simple reality. it has already been established in the courts. I dont care how many law degrees you have.

Ferd,
Can you cite the cases where churches have been successfully sued for refusing to rent their buildings out for gay weddings?
