would you take offense if the FBI infiltrated your house of worship...

...and utilized informants within so as to gain intelligence to stave off terrorist plots?

If an investigation leads to a church group, including mine, then I would hope they would be doing what is necessary to stop it within the laws of the constitution.

I don't attend one, but if I did and they needed a smack down by the FBI because they were doing wrong, then no, it wouldn't bother me at all.

i guess it would only bother those houses of worship where there IS something brewing and there IS something to hide don't you think?

I dunno. Some people take great offense to shit like that. I would hate to thing the FBI would have informants in churches that weren't doing anything wrong. Would seem to be a waste of their time.

^ agreed it would be a waste of their time but it's part of the realization process ya know? diligence and discovery is a necessary process i would think.

you don't attend a house of worship?

nope.

the answer to your question, as far as I'm concerned, is this:

If they have a legitimate reason to believe they'll gain useful information there, then I'm ok with it. If they don't, and they're just fishing, then no.
