Family faces eviction for loud night prayersI don't remember Jesus ever shouting or yelling at demons or the devil for prolonged periods of time, especially not at night. Most of the time, he just said, "Be quiet!" or "Away from me, Satan!"

BERLIN (Reuters) - A seven-member family faces eviction from an east Berlin apartment tower after neighbors complained about loud prayer sessions that keep the whole building awake at night, a German newspaper said Thursday.
"I really don't want to disturb the neighbors but the high volume is needed in the battle against the devil," Pierre D., the 42-year-old father of the Christian family, told Bild newspaper. He is fighting an eviction order in court.
Neighbors told Bild the screams and singing that are part of the family prayers in the second storey sometimes begin at 2:30 a.m. and can be heard all the way up to the fifth floor.
"We have to work in the morning and need our sleep," said taxi driver Horst Berghahn, who lives on the third floor. He said he asked the family to lower the volume several times since they moved into the building 10 months ago but to no avail.

Quoted: "High volume is needed in the battle against the devil"
I found this Reuters story interesting and a little bit funny, though I'm sure it's not at all funny if you're these people's neighbors.
