I'm not surprised you don't understand the basic difference in what's being discussed and what I'm supporting/believe

Only retards like yourself would say a permit is needed to sing at church.

That's why people have to keep using strawmen to respond, right?


This all could have ended on page 1 by the fact that the "event" was allowed to happen without the claimed needed "permits."

The Montreal authorities clearly understood they were walking in a mine field and backed off.

You have chosen to step on dozens in this thread. To what end?

No you didn’t.

So singing songs can’t be a part of an event?

Every church service or Mass is an event.

You know that.

You are being disingenuous in attempt to be a contrarian.

That article calls it a "show" and "event", not "singing"

Point proven. Thanks Dart


Oh, the article calls it a show. So that means it’s a show, right? That settles it doesn’t it. I mean, the article said so. The media called a Christian music event at a church a show, so that means it’s a show and not a worship service. No way Christians would consider a Christian music performance in their church an act of worship. No, they’re just there for the “show”

You really are truly one stupid frick.

That's kind of the crucial distinction of the discussion.

You're trying to spin it as just "singing", while a larger event (show, concert, etc.) would require a permit

That's been the discussion of this thread.

You're pivoting on Darth's behalf, here.

But not in a way that requires a permit.

The discussion is if it became that sort of event.

“This show runs counter to the values of inclusion, solidarity, and respect that are championed in Montreal. Freedom of expression is one of our fundamental values, but hateful and discriminatory speech is not acceptable in Montreal,” Philippe Masse said in a statement.

“A ticket was issued because the organization violated the regulations by going ahead with the show.”

It was worship in a church. What made it a larger event? They do the same thing at the same place every week.

Not to completion, due to the legal issues involved.

To prove the truth and prove the issues in OP I pointed out on page 1? Yes.

I'm always willing to do that.

They do not. I posted the scheduled events for that night that were usurped for this concert.

If the event was “larger” than the normal Sunday service, how was it held inside the same church where this congregation meets every week?

By the way, the semantics of trying to call it a “show” doesn't change the fact that a Christian musical event inside a church is indeed worship service. I use the term “singing” because that is the common vernacular used for this sort of worship service.

You're shifting. I said larger than singing, as in conceptual.

The distinction involve is if this was a normal worship service or an event/concert/show (whatever term that isn't "singing") that requires a permit.

And I never did. That was the point

You’re saying worship doesn’t happen weekly in a church?

They do not have concerts at their church every week

In fact, this concert usurped regularly-scheduled events they DO have every week
