RELIGIOUS LEADERS CLAIM CARLISLE CLUB'S NAME OFFENSIVE

Religious leaders have accused a nightclub boss of insulting their faith after he named his newest venue The Church.

Entrepreneur Ben Read, 29, has taken over the former Party Party nightspot in Botchergate, Carlisle, using a church theme, with a large cross mounted above the main entrance.

The club’s windows are adorned with the silhouetted image of a DJ, his arms outstretched in a pose reminiscent of Jesus being crucified.

I can sort of understand why they'd be pissed off.
I can sort of understand why I find it crass but also pretty funny.

Thoughts?

where do I complain about the churches :?:
they have far too many atrocities to attack a night club, try working on the child rape cover up, or the suppression of the common good of all men. it's not your jesus storming the money changers anymore, they are the money changers.

Going to the church of one's own choice has been an inalienable right of every American citizen since the Bill of Rights was ratified.

What's the matter? Are the Christian churches afraid of the competition?
