Yeah, freedom but only to only make the correct choices is just a tyranny that thinks itself benevolent. I don’t like cigarettes but I oppose their full ban, just amoratize the long term cost to the government of that pack and slap it on as a tax. A call to prayer for a religion we don’t practice has no cost to society and therefore while it may be annoying it’s none of our businesses unless it becomes so disruptive it actually hinders others (like say, if it were every 10 minutes and so loud it can’t be spoken over).
Hmmmm maybe a regional/cultural difference? I’ve never heard church bells going off for anything other than an hour mark, i.e. 10am, 11am, 12pm etc. Granted there aren’t many churches around me.
It isn’t. Both things are dumb, but in order to live in a free society, we have to let people be dumb, even if it’s not our specific kind of dumb.
Meh I feel opposite. Both are a cultural thing. Let people have some semblance of a community.
Community can be achieved without treating patent nonsense as fact.

It’s pretty different though, one is a literal prayer, one is an announcement.
what? they’re both announcements that it’s prayer time. neither are themselves prayers
