As usual in any given argument - both parties are probably mostly wrong.
To Sven and Ari - we can ascribe whatever motives we like (and the representative, for whatever reason, put voice to some reasons to "justify" their position, but the reality of it is that if it is their building, they don't really have to justify it at all, they can ask Sven to leave and not request use of their building again simply because they don't like his hair style, or because he's a non-smoker, or because they want to. They might just not like him, perhaps if someone prettier, or wearing a nicer shirt, or with a more melodic voice, or kinder eyes had asked, it would have been a different tale, or even if it was phrased differently "I'm looking to hold a community event on the subject of emotional peace in face of our mortality, I'll being inviting people from all walks of life, and plan to livestream it on my blog, better-living-through-faith-dot-com.
It doesn't even have to be true.)
We don't have to assume it is because they want to quash his faith.
To Kyrin, ref:
Your statement is completely uncharacteristic of the Christian faith. Their way is the only way according to them. Only through jesus do you enter
Into heaven. So why is it, as a jedi, do you feel you get to change that otherwise universal Christian view because of your own claim to your experience?
"otherwise universal christian view" is a statement you really have no authority to make, and I doubt you can back it up with much more than anecdotes or "common knowledge".
Yes, I know the lines about entering heaven, that's not what I'm arguing, but that every christian interprets their role as being to reestablish the inquisition is a big call.
(I routinely visit a christian building that is rented out for martial arts training, and because we're also massive nerds, we use Hogwarts Houses to manage the classes and keep track of points for each house.
The owners/managers of the building are really more than happy for the extra income, and the fact that it gives people something fun, healthy, and wholesome to do, and so far no one has tried to have us strung up and burnt at the stake for witchcraft)
(I could be wrong, the people that Sven was dealing with could be entirely motivated by the tenets of their faith and firmly believe that unChristian worship within their hallowed halls will cause....the gay, or something equally evil. I'm just saying there's no point in us beating our ploughshares into swords and taking up arms against the intolerant christian tyrants over speculative motivations...)
