Will the prayerful masses who rightly defend the freedom to worship protest this Swedish court's decision?
A Swedish court ruled against a man's attempt to have the Madonna of Orgasm Church registered as a faith community because of its racy name. The Administrative Court of Appeal ruled Tuesday that the name of the church founded by artist Carlos Bebeacua "violates what is considered acceptable practice" with its combination of the words Madonna, orgasm and church. ...
Bebeacua has said the church is aimed at encouraging people to worship the orgasm as God. "The orgasm is God, the orgasm should be worshiped," Bebeacua said. "The orgasm is the ultimate feeling of lust, it shouldn't be limited to ejaculation. You can reach it through art or by looking at a landscape and thinking 'Wow!'"

Or by admiring photos of the Swedish Bikini Team, natch.
Naw, they probably won't, as many are just as pragmatic about their philosophy as bloggers claiming to be libertarian are.

I think that orgasms are an analogy to how amazing heaven is going to be. I mean that in all seriousness as a bible believing Christian. However, it probably isn't The most loving thing a faith community can do in that a lot of narrow minded folk will be too distressed by the name to realise the truth and, actually, Jesus' greatest command wasn't to stand up for our rights but to love each other.
Good on the Swedes for noticing though and not being afraid to try it...!
