GOD: Well, don't. It's like those miserable psalms. they're so depressing. Now knock it off

On a more secular level, the singing ban might not be as necessary as it seems. A musician friend posted an interesting video/experiment which you might want to try at home. Take a lighted candle and hold it in front of your mouth (Have a lighter handy). First whisper, then talk and then sing. You will find that the strength and projection of your breath is greater from the former to the latter.

Nice to see the numbers dwindling
so that pastor says enough is enough...taking it to court with relief funding from govt? ...when the relief funding was much needed elsewhere.

IF it weren't for the probability of them going from Church or whatever, and infecting other innocent people then I'd say let them bloody well sing their hearts out all they want and get as much Covid as they can inhale.
I'm sure their Invisible, Imaginary Sky Daddy would be more than happy to welcome new adulators to the ranks.

How dare they, now we will miss performances like this!

Or Kazoo's I can here amazing grace right now.

If they did it online, they can sing as loud as they want via zoom

Funny how they have to "make noise", don't they think their God will hear them otherwise?

facepalm

Just when I think I've heard the end all be all of stupidity religion opens its mouth again

You can't get saved if GOD can't hear you sing of his righteous might and glory. If you get COVID and die at least you can stand before the Almighty and claim at least you were singing.

Suit yourself, pinhead...I love singing karaoke, but there's no way I'm going out to that until Covid is over. I can't imagine a more high risk environment, but two of my younger karaoke pals have started going to it again. They are in their 30s and 40s, so they feel safe with the risk.
