An interesting story to keep an eye on as I am curious as to how one will determine what constitutes "worship". You can't demand freedom of religion if you claim that others' beliefs aren't equally valid.
In an effort to get around recently passed zoning laws the owners of Tennessee swingers club are rebranding their proposed establishment as a church, according to WSMV.Christians furious after Tennessee swingers club rebrands as church to sneak around zoning law
Previously the owners of the proposed club in Madison had submitted plans to convert a former medical building, situated next to a Christian school, into a sex club only to meet with stiff public resistance.
Following a packed and contentious meeting last month — with one audience member shouting “we don’t want this darkness to extinguish this beacon of light that has been here for years and years” — the Metro Council amended the zoning laws to prevent the club from being developed.
Relying upon federal laws that protect churches, the owners reapplied as a church. A room that was once labeled “the dungeon” is now the “choir room.” The former “game room” will now be known as a “fellowship hall.”
Ricky Perry, president of Goodpasture Christian School located next to the development, called changes and owners of the club “irreverent.”
