- jftitan, on 11/03/2009, -2/+23I lived near a church once and it pissed me the hell of every morning when the church bells ringing eventually turned out to be neurotic tick for me. Every hour, on the hour I was expecting church bells in my head to ring.. trust me, people hated the accuracy by the minute predictions I had when the next hour was about to arrive.
There was no other more giving reason for me to hate churches than the one church I lived by that rang its freaking bells every damn hour. I'm just surprised someone didn't sue the ***** out of that church then. Don't get me wrong, I also lived in a house with a grandfather clock. SO ***** A, the ringing was nerve racking - sgerwel1985, on 11/04/2009, -3/+18"Jesus christ stop it with the ***** bells already"
- alfunso3, on 11/04/2009, -1/+13Every time the bell rings, a bunch of neighbors should call the Bishop's cell and landline phones.
- BluBerryGTI, on 11/03/2009, -4/+14hahahhaha man that would be so annoying
- Duamerthrax, on 11/04/2009, -0/+6What does Christmas have to do with Christians?
- BREZZZ, on 11/04/2009, -0/+5I lived near (500 feet vicinity) a fire whistle and train track. At least you had the luxury of being predictable.
- johndi, on 11/04/2009, -1/+6Who doesn't have a watch or cellphone to tell them the time. They have made church bells obsolete.
- jakobrowning, on 11/04/2009, -1/+4I was totally going into this with the "poor priest being attacked" angle in my head. I was wrong. That guy was being a douche bag. I think Jesus might agree. Ringing the bells because you want to show love for God is just a way antagonize neighbors and being overly-dramatic for the sake of attention.
- MikeyMoose, on 11/04/2009, -3/+6Wow! Convicted an offense unrelated to diddling the choir boys...
- consonance, on 11/04/2009, -0/+3"Sorry bro, it's not me."
- skppy1225, on 11/04/2009, -1/+4These people are wusses. There's a church around here that does it every fifteen minutes, and at every hour, it rings the number of times equal to the hour.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 11/04/2009, -2/+4"More Cowbell!"
This Bishop was obviously from the Arch Diocese short bus, and he was much too happy bangin' his bells all day.
Regardless of the annoyance -- I predict that this story will be carried by Bill O'Reilly as he documents the war on Christmas by Liberal evil atheists. - thenunchuk, on 11/04/2009, -1/+3Um, "church bells ringing" is normal here in Germany. One, two, and three rings at :15, :30, and :45 past the hour, and four rings followed by the number of hours on the hour.
I think it's pleasant, actually, and when they are down for maintenance you feel like something in the background is missing. - newes, on 11/04/2009, -0/+2I never see any christian messages during christmas. It's usually just toy adds.
- pagno, on 11/04/2009, -1/+3There arent enough Angels for all the wings the Bishop was passing out...
- 5urr3al5am, on 11/04/2009, -4/+5the same can be said about a-hole motorcyclists, loud car stereos, and big trucks
- TheMAZZTer, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2I imagine it wouldn't be pleasant if you were sleeping and it woke you up hours before you wanted to wake up.
- Kungfumantis239, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2I feel for the neighbors, what time is noise disturbance in AZ? I'm sure that it's later than 6. That alone immediately throws out his argument of "infringing on his consitutional rights".
Waking people up before they have to be up is rude by anyone's means, why can't the Pastor connect those dots? - thenunchuk, on 11/05/2009, -0/+1Oh no, that's my point -- it becomes part of the background of your life. I can imagine people getting upset if somebody shows up one day and starts playing recordings of bells, but when it has *always* been there, then it is different.
- Rsulliv1, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2Way to be a dick, Father.
- 408train, on 11/04/2009, -2/+3GO TO HELL
- fuzzybad, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Attention whore
- acidtonic, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Like buying a big plot of land to build your own house then 2 years down the road once you're all comfy a catholic church buys the rear lot and puts up a big church within eye sight of your property.
Now you're in a "church zone" anything you get in trouble for can be magnified. Being catholic there is ALWAYS someone at the damn church and the loud bells never end on your weekend trying to sleep in on sunday. Not to mention he got "random" complaints when his kids were in their yard playing with toy guns and being kids. And the horrible looks people in church give people who are in their yard not at church.
This very thing happened to a good friend of mine and he sold the ***** house and moved. Next time he is buying even more land to surround his home. - newes, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2Does the same motorcyclist sit outside your door and rev his engine every half hour every day?
- mwtbdltr, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1... how long would it take (if they get tunrned back on) for the church to be burned to the ground??? id give it a week!
- agbullet, on 11/04/2009, -0/+1Because God is not just God after 6am, you soulless heathen.
- TrunksTheMighty, on 11/04/2009, -1/+1Yes, yes they do.
- NYYBronxBombers, on 11/04/2009, -4/+3teacher says every time a bell rings, an angel gets it's wings
- sporkman, on 11/04/2009, -6/+5Ugh, Power users suck.
- InactiveUser, on 11/04/2009, -10/+8It seems all religions have a means of waking people up at ***** hours and keeping them up all day.
This is just a massive form of advertising on a scale no advertiser could possible expect to get away with. - HotLeper, on 11/04/2009, -5/+1dude was bored.. can u blame him
- DesertTripper, on 11/04/2009, -7/+2Oh well. We're heading directly for the month-and-a-half period where we are force-fed Christian propaganda wherever we go and whatever we do.
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice...
