skating on churches

[Schismatic]

As long as services aren't going on then who cares? God has better things to worry about than some chipped ledges and scraped rails.

Besides, with all the money they scam from people they can afford to repair the damage.

I don't skate churches, memorials or houses.

 Even though I'm not religious myself, I have no problem with people following any religion, as long as its not shoved in my face. I feel that skating a church is just like skating someone's house. To some people its a really special place and if a bunch of catholics came to the skatepark and held their mass there I'd be pretty bummed, just like me skating their church. I normally just try see it from the other person's point of view.

theres some dudes that gather kids up and do religious teachings or whatever at the local skateparks pretty regularly.

its pretty rad though because then the park is less crowded for a good minute.

 Sir i am being reasonable in contrast with how most people function. If you think about it most society norms exist just to keep us controlled or they re just stupid prejuidice.

Yeah, high school is a tough time for a lot of people. You'll grow out of it.

I guess I have a weird view of it because i skate DC a lot, but almost every well-known DC spot is at some monument/memorial/church/museum/etc etc. Freedom is essentially one big memorial, the ground of the plaza itself has inscriptions and shit (for those who haven't been) but i doubt that any of you would refuse to skate it if you had the opportunity. In my opinion it's a better use for it than the alternative, which is bums sleeping on the ledges/occupy DC fools camping out there and accomplishing pretty much nothing, as far as i can tell. just my thoughts doe

Lots of temples over here have really nice hubbas, but only a very few are skatable (because landing and run ups happen to be perpendicular to the actual set...basically think of an H floor design). Since most of the good spots happen to be close to the crematorium, A lot of the locals here (even the skateboarders) are superstitious about ghosts and shit so I can never find someone to skate them with. 

Theres a temple near my house where they are building a new hallway and there happens to be a nice construction site gap there where the landing is slightly uphill.

Other than that, I skate everything. Especially government buildings, you get kicked out but wait a few hours when the guards change their shifts. I would NEVER skate a Royal monument here in Thailand because there is a death penalty associated with desecration of Royal monuments.

there's a roof gap in Tampa that is from one moseleum to another.  its already pretty sketchy because its a roof gap, but you're literally skating on top of like 100 dead bodies.  my friends skated it a few times while we were in town, but I was pretty weirded out by it and thought something really bad was going to happen.
