I don't know if I'd like that. Personally, I like that my synagogue is autonomous. I don't have anything against Christians, but it's our community, and our accomplishments, and our goddamned potluck...

Ahem.

Anyway, I don't want to seem racist, but there's something to be said for having one's own church. I'm not saying that segregation is good, but if a community wants to be autonomous in some respects, they should be able to. It shouldn't be considered a mark against anyone.

It's probably about denomination and community, not being oppressed by "the man" or whatnot.
