So you only oppose the opposition?

So saying there are "at least three" putting more there would be kind of silly... is kind of like saying... "all you denominations that don't have one of those 3 churches... aw fucking well, there's enough of your Christian kind represented here."
Sounds kind of ignorant put that way, but isn't that pretty much what you said?

No. I was implying that it wouldn't matter if it were a church because there are already three in the area. The current opposition is "OMG a mosque is going to be next to Ground Zero!"
If a church were to be built instead, people wouldn't react nearly as badly, considering it wouldn't be the only one there. It's not like building a church is a controversial thing in the U.S. Am I wrong?
