I think so to.

According to the Christian doctrine, any Christian has the authority to make those decisions. All men have access to God through Jesus Christ, (For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.) so no building is really a church. The church is the people. IIRC, it was either Moses or Abraham that wanted to build a church first, and God laughed saying, (paraphrased) Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

The first amendment is supposed to protect us from these intrusions and regulations, but it clearly does not.

Although I don't believe it to be explicit "doctrine", I have always thought about the "No Concealed Carry in a Church" in this exact way. Wait until I tell you that I think that, since I have a propietary right (tenure) in my job, I am allowed to... :eek:
