A Utah religious sect called The Summum and their founder, Corky Ra, are fighting to get a monument of their seven "Aphorisms" into a public city park alongside a preexisting monument to the ten commandments. They congregate in a pyramid, where they spoke to a reporter from the New York Times:
Inside the pyramid, sitting on a comfortable white couch near a mummified Doberman named Butch, Ron Temu, a Summum counselor, said the two monuments would complement each other.
"“They’ve put a basically Judeo-Christian religious text in the park, which we think is great, because people should be exposed to it,” Mr. Temu said. “But our principles should be exposed as well.”
Su Menu, the church’s president, agreed. “If you look at them side by side,” Ms. Menu said of the two monuments, “they really are saying similar things.”
The Third Commandment: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”
The Third Aphorism: “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”
In case you're considering, here's what the pet mummification costs.
Thanks Jodi
