Laws of general applicability apply to churches as well.


So if the church had a “legitimate worship service,” would they have to apply for a permit? If so, why?

I don't mind most versions of Christianity at all, actually, but truthfulness isn't your strong point today. Projecting is.

Your case (from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice) did not overrule the case from the Supreme Court of Canada.

So now you are a Supreme Court decisions are the only one's that matter kinda guy?

Hutterian was about drivers license, and driving is not a fundamental religious experience.

Worship is a fundamental religious experience, according to this case law, which as you know is only interpreting fundamental laws.

Putting limits on what churches do in their houses of worship would be a much higher bar (I believe in America this has some similarity to strict scrutiny).

So again, Hutterian was about government limits on non religious things, this (again not a "Supreme court case") is saying that how Churches hold their services is about government limits on religious things.

Your normal, generally-applicable law.

Which does not apply in this case, but would if the church wanted to hold it on public land.

You are such a fricking putz. Your first post in this thread demanded that someone do something you'd rather die than do on here.

The apostles were told not to preach the gospel in Acts 4:18, where they were commanded not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. This directive was given by the Sanhedrin to prevent the followers of Jesus from growing too popular. However, the apostles, Peter and John, refused to back down and continued to preach despite the warnings. This event highlights the conflict between the authority of the apostles and the Jewish authorities in their early days of spreading the gospel.

No. For reasons posted earlier (the court case).

As the case lays out, general regulations on churches or practitioners aren't illegal, just as it is in the US.

But if you have a concert in a church? That's different.

Pointing out that MAGA types are being histrionic on social media and lying? No I love doing that.

I already said if they want to chalk it up a civil disobedience that's fine, and truthful. They are free to be martyrs. Own that shite.

Lying about this being a "worship service" or what you did in OP? Not the same thing.

Pardon, your second post. But you knew that. Waving that aloof white flag is as close as you get to owning your Ls.

This one?

That's clearly not what was going on

If you host an event at a church, you need a permit. You can't spin it as "worship" to break the law.

Social media lied to you. You posted it without doing research. Just own it.


I have, in fact, applied for permits for events before. It wasn't a big deal. Hell, I've applied for permits for garage sales

You have to have permits for events universally.



This isn't entirely accurate either. I work in the entertainment industry. Standing use permits cover most venues and similar facilities with local govt entities. There isnt a need to apply for permits for each Indvidual event.

You're a fricking blowhard who thinks you know everything about everything.

That is how people are trying to spin this, but that statement isn't applicable.

Churches have to follow general laws in both Canada and the US. They're not exempt from all laws simply for being churches.


You sure are really dumb and pretentious. You're nowhere close to being right about anything yet in this thread.

Ah yes, but does Montreal define in their law a concert?

Especially in relationship to a house of worship on private property?

Because all worship services are "concerts" colloquially speaking

I think you missed the word final, most laws on the books never make it to the supreme court, hence where they stopped is the existing case law.

Or am I wrong?
