Nuns and priests are also selling their properties to developers. Hey, even godly people need to eat!!!

If they don't have any other choice... why not? Giving some of these unused churches to immigrant Christian communities (that would actually use the church) would be a better choice.

There was one Church that was turned into a strip club and bar in the US not to long ago.

Personally, I think that converting a church to a strip house is a sin.

I didn't hear anything about that in the bible. Then again you'd have to believe in sin also, I believe good and evil are just morals made and set by man. There are communities in this world that have different ideas of whats good and what is considered evil, there's really no set universal law.

I guess that those who wrote the Bible never thought that someday, a church will converted to a strip club.

But if I remember correctly, Jesus gets mad at the fact that  the people were selling stuff near (or in) a temple.

It's while a temple is still considered holy isn't it.I think gcle said that a church does some kind of ritual so a church isn't a holy ground anymore and thus making it a building of a church design, well thats if it has the classical design of churchs, some are now just put in apartment stores and other kinds of buildings.
