Sex Club challenged, will now be treated as a church - Tennessee

I absolutely love this:
http://www.wral.com/sex-club-seeks-nashville-blessing-by-vowing-to-be-a-church/14602805/

Private sex club was getting ready to open, and had permits, when someone complained that what goes on behind closed doors between consenting adults must be stopped. So the club changed paperwork and *tada* it's now a church! And since no one is permitted to define a church, or place limits on how the laypeople worship, there's really nothing the local "panties in a wad" group can do about it.

And if the protesters are complaining that sex in a church means the facility should be shut down, then they better start by shuttering their own church doors. In my experience there's a LOT of hanky-panky going on in churches, during which many are beseeching God and praising his name.

Well in their defense...

There would be a bunch of parishioners proclaiming "Oh God!!!!" often.

That's one Sunday service I wouldn't mind getting up for. Up for... LOL

I would definitely stop being just a Christmas and Easter guy..

I'll take the under on this one LOL

My money is on the city winning their suit....since there are rather specific requirements for Church status.

Not sure how they plan to explain or show the taxing agencies (State, Local, Federal) why they needn't file tax returns, pay real estate taxes, report income from "donations"....and then drag their "parishioners" into the fray with falsifying their personal returns with contribution deductions for ineligible 501(c)3 organizations.

Honestly...I've had a few folks want to start a Church for the tax exempt status. I hand them the list of requirements (in PDF format now LOL)....and that's the end of that dream

Re: Well said....as a person who worships at the Holy Mattress. e.

I like the way you think.

Maybe - Our Lady of the Miraculous Orgasm...? Has a nice ring to it.

Not to get too philosophical around here but if you do believe in God you have to admit he created men and women as two very different forms - obviously he had important reasons for doing so. Certainly sex (and the enjoyment of it) was one of those prime considerations. And by participating in the enjoyment of that activity it has to be a celebration of his divine plan, yes?

And if you don't believe in God, having really amazing sex is probably the closest you will get to a religious or spiritual experience. It cetainly relieves stress, makes you a better neighbor and can make you more likely to turn the other cheek.

Hmmm, have we found a unifying world religion? The Church of the Really Good Lay. LOL.

But maybe there's a lawyer out there who will find the loophole....

You just need one who has the will and the tenacity, like this one:
