Violator of Terms
I don't think it was a respect issue as much as an informational issue. People who do not attend church do not know all of the activities about churches. I posed a similar question when I saw a local church pouring concrete for a basketball goal.i don't go to church either. i'm actually atheist, but i can't stand people who don't respect others personal beliefs. it's funny how liberals, partiers and stoners whine about others being closed minded but never turn the mirror around. maybe that's not you, i just got that impression from your post.
I thought "Shouldn't you be praying or learning about God while at church, not playing basketball?" As it turns out, church is more like a social club or civic organization moreso than an institution focused soley on worship.
His viewpoint is not uncommon by those who have never entered a church. It also seems that different churches have different rules regarding such non-God focused activites.
