As for the snake handlers, while I would not go myself, I have a hard time condeming them outright.
Apples & Oranges IMHO.

What does the topic have to do with condoning it?

No double standard.

what does that have to do with holding services there on days when she is not there?

What does that have to do with having services in that building?

The church is starting to become politically correct, not a good thing.
The problem is when you preach about Adam and Steve, acting like an unloving smart aleck and not stick with scriptures, like Romans 1. |
So congregations should never ever rent from someone because they could be supporting or funding someone's bad lifestyle....
Same goes for buying property

Buying property and renting it is not the same thing. Buying property takes it from someone's hands and puts it in your own hands. You can then change the face of the property.

They are both the same in the respect that you are giving money someone else, thereby funding someone elses lifestyle.
Buying property is not taking. It's an exchange. Money for property
Renting is the same thing without a change of ownership

Would that be like BUYING Al Capone's home - a stigma? 
If I am not going to OWN it, then I don't want to be involved.

Response to Houston's question. I understand if someone thought gay pastors were in a far worse catagory than Trinitarianism.
I am not so sure I would have a problem renting facilities from anyone - nightclubs included, unless there is a concern that the church condones what happens there when they are not assembled.
