The Summum religion is based on seven aphorisms: psychokinesis, correspondence, vibration, opposition, rhythm, cause and effect, and gender. They applied to erect a monument (pictured) to these aphorisms in Pioneer's Park. This is a park in Pleasant Grove City, Utah, operated by the city council. One of the monuments in the park already is a big copy of the Ten Commandments. When the city council denied the Summum's application, they brought a case to the supreme court. The case Pleasant Grove City v. Summum was heard Wednesday. Scotus, the blog god of the Supreme court, has the complete rundown. Slate has a funny article about religion cases like these, with its own seven aphorisms.
