Why does Crown Point hate God???

There was a Black Sabbath tribute band playing someone's backyard a block over from me. The whole neighborhood could hear it.

Don't know until you try.


/goes to find some girls that will scream "Woo!" for 31 days straight

If they are praying for lower gas prices, the neighbors ought to be more tolerant. If for the Apocalypse, not so much.

For 31 days? Wow.

That would be the ultimate sin if they truly sucked.

Only 10? Amateurs. Try getting the whole police force coming out at once. Half of them came back afterwards to party with us.

/helluva party

Theological flamewar trifecta in play?

"I'd never be allowed to have a party for 31 days straight in my backyard."

He went to the wrong college.

"I'd never be allowed to have a party for 31 days straight in my backyard," Bell said.

Sounds like someone is jealous. Awwwwwwww....

Johnson said the church has invested a lot of money in the monthlong event and will have to invest even more to follow the city's rules, but the church leadership team will meet to discuss its next steps.

Tough - should have spent the money up front to figure out what acceptable noise levels were.

"The decibels aren't caused by the music, they're caused by the cheering of excited people," Johnson said. "There's nothing that said people can't gather and cheer."

Apparently there is, and apparently, Pastor Ron has a short memory - they're called noise ordinances. You've got ten citations for violating them. Ask god for help paying them, unless he can't hear you over all the ID10Ts gathering and cheering.

"I'd never be allowed to have a party for 31 days straight in my backyard," Bell said.

I'd give it a try - figure out how to get my CD player to go to 11 then start cranking Slayer, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom...

/What? Too subtle?

"The mayor and representatives from the church often were interrupted by comments from the audience, including a woman who claimed the church's meeting ruined her son's wedding night."

I can see how all that churchifying would spoil the mood....

FTFA "I don't think the city should be determining what is an acceptable nuisance"

Wow. If these are the kind of thoughts coming from this church, I think a bunch of local drunk kids should crash it and fark their party up. basically she's saying I don't think my local government has the right to say what is the law. Fark this biatch.

A month? Seriously? Wouldn't you just kinda run out of things to say after a day or two?

I'll never understand Goddies. They're like hippies, but with less pot.

Pincy: Why does Crown Point hate God???

Why does God hate Crown Point???

I don't even know where to start, with this. Instead of ranting, I'll just relax and let Teh Stupid waft over you.

Except he lives in a non-college neighborhood.

/actually my alma mater has started cracking down, but back in the day....

Wish I lived out there. Possible playlist:
"Welcome to the Jungle"
"Anarchy in the UK"
"F*ck Armageddon This is Hell"
"Holiday In Cambodia"/"Nazi Punks F*ck Off"
"White Riot"/"Rock the Casbah"
"Enter Sandman"
"Mommy's Little Monster"
"S*it is F*cked Up"

stirfrybry Took me longer than it should have to realize those weren't just the tips of lime-flavored popsicles.

Mine would probably be "Rise of Sodom and Gemorah" by Therion played on a continuous loop.

warlok42: Tough - should have spent the money up front to figure out what acceptable noise levels the rules were

FTFY.

Free Exercise may trump a lot of it, and Peaceable Assembly a bit more... but I doubt it will trump the local noise statute for a whole month.

Goddies? That sounds like a candy from the 1940's.

"When I was your age. I was able to buy a whole box of Goddies for a penny. Ahhhh, those were the days."

That or a shoe polish.

When asked for comment, God said, "Help help, I'm being repressed!"

It's worse than that. The guy who said it is a member of the city council. See two paragraphs up from the one you quoted.

I lived in the middle of a town with a church that played recorded bells. Damned straight I called to complain about them playing the damned recording at 7:30am. Jesus or Joshua or whatever his damned name was got up and moved a rock so I wouldn't have to. Fark: Police station was next to my house and agreed -- told them to cut it out.

waiting for this to cross over with the ambulance chaplain thread...

Don't cross the streams!!!!!

Visit a Christian bookstore. The idea is artful repetition, not new ideas. Make the old ideas sound new.

Oh, goody! Another Christian-bashing thread!

Libtard hate is so amusing...

My old house had an empty lot behind it, on the other side of the alley. The black baptist church sets up a pavilion every summer and for about two weeks until 11 p.m. all you can hear is gospel songs and "SAVE ME JESUS! JESUS LORD!" blasting through speakers. It was horrible.

I heard there was a Creed tribute band at this church.

I feel for ya Crown Point, IN . . .
I live in a big city, and at the precinct community meetings some folks have made regular complaints about nightclubs that close very late at night, with the patrons hooting and hollering until the wee hours.
The cops have assured us, the nightclub itself can't make any noise as far as music or loudspeakers are concerned. But as far as patrons speaking loudly, that cannot be stopped, that is a violation of the First Amendment.
It's Constitutional abuse if you ask me.

Hmmm, alot of internet tough guys here tonight.

Try living across from a full-on mosque in Istanbul for a month, complete with 6 minarets and 7-times-a-day calls to prayer.

I would love to see one of you sniveling cock smootchers go complain and get in the face of some Muslims. Haahaha.

I saw jesus in a dream last night. He was walking across the street and clubbing some money grubbing preacher hosting a month long party to death.

and the closer they got to the church the louder it became.

mighty fine reporting

"And whenever you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to stand in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. I tell you with certainty, they have their full reward! But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees from the hidden place will reward you." Jesus in Matthew 6:5

"Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - by Mahatma Gandhi

WHo cares about churchies or nightclubs. It the incessant screaming children a home on vacation that I loathe and despise.

Gag your snowflakes until they move the fark out please.

If any other group got together and spent 31 days accomplish nothing except annoying the neighbors you would mock them too. But because they believe in the same invisible sky wizard as you then they are just part of the persecuted majority.

If people do stupid things they will be mocked ... it is not hate. The freedom to mock stupidity is an inalienable right.

Are you a fan of hypocrisy? I've never been judged more harshly than by people whose book says "judgment is reserved for the Lord" and "judge not, lest ye be judged."

Typical anal uptight suburban dwellers.

Complaining that the noise is over 40db? Here is where 40db is, for your reference:

watch ticking - 30db
-> Jesus Freaks Praying - 40db
Quiet suburban area or dishwasher in next room - 50db
Office interior or ordinary conversation - 60db

Sorry, I am siding with the Jesus retards on this one. The neighbors who were complaining were probably the typical suburban housewives who are depressed because their husband cheats on them and the doctor wont continue to prescribe oxycotin and they are too conformist to lose their mind and become serial killers - So their only source of joy is causing misery by reporting other people to the city for trivial non-issues. The suburbs are full of miserable people whose only joy in life is using the city council to fark over other people.

God will punish them, and send them to hell - Except hell will just be the depressed suburban housewife life they lead now, except it will last forever.

moothemagiccow: you obviously have not sat at a dinner table with some tooollerant and divverrrrsity-loving self-proclaimed "liberals".

/there, ya like being panted with a big broad brush? probably not. So shut the fark up.

Just another case of silly religious folk making life more annoying, but also more amusing, for everyone else. But then I remember what they believe and I find it more puzzling than anything. Mostly, I wonder why people actually believe it. Perhaps this says a lot about the "nurture" side of childhood development than the nature side. It helps explain why seemingly intelligent people can be ushered into bizarre beliefs.

Case in point: Beck being a Scientologist. He's brilliant, so that can really be the only explanation.

I for one think that they should have been able to have their party, but waive all rights to complain about any parties being too loud for the following year, this way, everyone is happy.

Throw some watermelons in there and you'll get some peace for at least a few minutes.

This isn't a Christian-bashing thread. It's a noise-bashing thread. Persecution complex much?

Humans have always tried to explain events using some higher power. Cavemen probably prayed to a rock because they thought it might give them luck. It was always easier to explain things we couldn't see through some higher power.
