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.

As a matter of fact, no, it really isn't. Well, unless you're performing an exorcism, but even then the high volume is only needed because the victim is already making too much noise to hear you.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Heh. I remember reading this book that was supposed to be a true story about an exorcism. It was saying how you have to speak outloud when you rebuke the devil because, unlike God, he is not all knowing and thus cannot hear your thoughts.

Rebuke the devil? You know, even if he's not all-knowing, if I were the devil, I could not give half of a damn if some old guy wearing a rosary was yelling at me in the name of God.

Maybe someone needs to get the devil some hearing aids since if he can't hear a normal voice then that might be the problem. Now I picture the devil as a senile old dude who does things and forgets allot. Maybe he needs to go to the retirement home.

They should've lowered the volume.
