And the REST of the story you omitted...

"Yelwa has already witnessed one of the most horrific massacres of the conflict, when 48 Christians were killed by Fulani militia in a church that was later burned in February. "The last three months have seen the bloodiest fighting in the region since the state capital, Jos, was torn apart by ethnic violence in 2001 that killed 1,000 people."

Religious tensions run high in the country. The northern Nigerian state of Zamfara introduced a stricter set of Shari'ah laws last week, saying that all "unauthorized" places of worship will be shut down. The governor, Ahmed Sani, "ordered the destruction of all Christian churches and non-Islamic places of worship," according to the Dallas Morning News.

Ted, > You said on this very thread that you went to the Crystal palace for your church services. Changed your mind....or were you lying?

I don't remember ever saying that I went to the Crystal cathedral. In fact, I never even visited the place. Something I should have done before I moved north, I guess.

I did attend Pastor Rick Warren's church, Saddleback, for a while. But that church was just way too big for me. It's the size of a community college campus.

I've always said that a church should consist of, at minimum, a leader, a guitarist, and an overhead projector. Everything else is just extravagance.
