Ah. You didn't say that, though. You mentioned prayer--not a group meeting. 
Anyway, you're assuming they didn't have a permit...aren't you? Did the article say they didn't have one?

Unless the laws interfere with God's laws. E.g., Daniel.
I'm not saying one way or the other for the group in question--I don't think there's enough info in the article. But in general, Christians SHOULD obey the laws of the land. Except for when doing so would require disobeying God OR would require one to display shame or embarrassment for being a follower of Christ.
I am NOT a fan of public protests or demonstrations. That is not what my comments were about.

Oh, please. Apples & oranges. Do you ever discuss topics intelligently, or do you always resort to sarcasm, mockery and contradiction for its' own sake?

Re: Shame On You Christians..gays riot
Does anyone else find the username "HappyTown" ironically hilarious?
I don't think I've seen one post from that poster that would qualify as happy.

According to the girl on the second video, they had been going there quite regularly and just doing praise & worship. Before that night, they had been somewhat successful, with people listening and singing along. They responded by telling the people that they loved them; that's why they were there. It wasn't any kind of a protest on the part of the Christians.

I noticed that too.
UnhappyTown would be more like it.

Exactly. If I was too harsh towards here then I apologize.
