20. My evil twin brother...
suggests just blowing the place up.

Other than that, playing a recitation of those words of Jesus about praying loudly and in public. Or the entire Ring all day long. Or rap. Make sure your speakers are LOUD. If enough neighbors are put off by this, perhaps a symphony of lawnmowers, chainsaws, and accompanying boomboxes could be organized at the appropriate time. A perfect time to tune up unmuffled Harleys, too.

Actually, since TPTB in the town seem to be beholden to these holy rollers, there is little that can be done without a lot of support from your neighbors, and possibly a good lawyer.

I am from that Christian tradition that believes throwing my beliefs and practices in your face is rude, at best. Do not feel guilt at be put off by having these people ruining the peace of the neighborhood. they are doing it deliberately.

Somewhere not too far from here, I forget where, one guy is spending a bunch of money to get one of the local churches to stop the bell chimes on the hour. And stop Christmas carols. That is, perhaps, going a bit too far, but there are complex and time consuming legal remedies if one wants to pursue them.

Most people tend to think it's not worth it and just suck it up if the other side is not cooperative.

After a while, you don't even hear it any more. Just like people who live near train tracks.
