Do you agree with this case against a bishop re church bells?

No. Pressing charges on a preacher for having church bells is just ridiculous. "Each time the levels came in lower than the traffic noise in the area." Obviously this is just some uber-political anti-religion wacko that wants to find a reason to complain about anything the church does. Personally, I like church bells....

initially, it particularly is not as at contemporary forward as you portray it. Diocesan officers chanced on the youngster pornography on the priest's pc December sixteen 2010. The diocese prevented the priest from being around babies and reported it contacted a police officer and defined “between the greater aggravating pictures” and asked no be counted if it constituted new child ****, and the officer reported it did not. Police later shown that the officer replaced into Capt. Richard Smith, yet reported that he replaced into advised purely approximately one photograph and replaced into not made conscious that different, greater image pictures have been saved on the pc. The diocese then filed a police checklist in would eleven 2011. So on a similar time as they'd have dealt with it greater expectantly and properly that's unlike they did not touch police in any respect or do something to guard babies.they only saved him faraway from babies for some months and chased their thoughts after the police suggestion previously understanding that a police checklist replaced into the thank you to pass even with the suggestion they gained. Now which would be adequate to get the Bishop charged under the appropriate State regulation even nonetheless it particularly is not overly darkish habit. i don't agree that there is a depressing side to Christianity different than the actuality that it pertains to a Church finished of people and a few people would be darkish. The Bible does not condone pedophilia and rape. The incontrovertible fact that maximum priests are pedophiles is a lie. If God can create a universe i will not be able to ascertain how an immaculate concept would be impossible.

Painter has obviously violated a city bylaw and a civil law. For some, like migraine sufferers, the non-religious, people living in close proximity to the bells, and many others, this could be like Chinese water torture. The listeners may suffer loss of enjoyment of their property, lack of sleep (and therefore non-performance of their work and possibly ill health) due to the incessant ringing. What Painter is doing is indeed detrimental to the surrounding community, in my opinion and in the opinion of the court.

Dogs barking, leaf blowers, construction sounds, debt collectors' constant phone calls, etc. are all subjects of similar cases. Why not bells? They'd certainly drive me crazy!

"Musicfan" talks about traffic noise ... We all expect that in our daily lives and, somehow, our brains adjust to it being there. This is an unusual noise at certain times of the day, or night, so it causes annoyance for those who are subjected to it. Nope, I stand by what I said above.

The best thing to do is to have a community meeting about the matter and talk to the congragation or have it up for election in your community. I wish you the best of luck.
