Religious Freedom or AUDIO ABUSE
Sound has Been used as a Weapon For Centuries and
The Church is one of the Worst offenders
how many non Church goers have been Assaulted Repeatedly
For Seeking to sleep And Enjoy Thier Own Schedule.
Violence is Violence Whether it is Gang Bangers with BASS Thumpers in thier TrunksOr OverZealous Priests With 2 Foot BELLS and No Respect for others Rights To Peace and Quiet.
I once Dissarmed A Drummer At A PAGAN Festival By Dumping Water on his Drum After I PLeaded with him To Stop Using Sticks At 3:am (hand druming is much quieter) And he tried to have me removed for an act of Violence I defended myself infront of the ELDERS Describing it as an act of Self Defense using one liquid medium (water) to Disarm his weapon that used another liquid medium (Air) to assault MY right to Sleep.!
I was asked if this was a conspiracy? "NO" Would I do the Same thing Again? "NO" I have more imagination than that
When He refused to give up the sticks and Said "Yeah I know It's Loud NOW GET OUT OF MY FACE"
I Said "PEESS ON MY DREAMS I'LL PEESS ON YOUR DRUM" .!..!...
ALL RELIGIONS SHOULD RESPECT the RIGHT of OTHERS of ENJOY THIER PATHS IN PEACE AND QUIET.!.
