The Seven Aphorisms

I heard this story on NPR this morning about the case of Pleasant Grove, Utah, refusing to allow a religious group called Summum to place a monument displaying the "Seven Aphorisms" in a public park where they already had permitted the display of the Ten Commandments as well as other donated monuments. There are the usual arguments about freedom of speech and religion in this issue, which I hardly need to repeat. But I was frustrated that NPR did not bother to list the Seven Aphorisms. So, here they are from Summum's own website.

  1. The Principle of Psychokinesis
  2. The Principle of Correspondence
  3. The Principle of Vibration
  4. The Principle of Opposition
  5. The Principle of Rhythm
  6. The Principle of Cause and Effect
  7. The Principle of Gender

Here's more information about the case on the Wall Street Journal's Law Blog.
