Mormon Chad Hardy has been excommunicated by a disciplinary council of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for producing a calendar featuring shirtless Mormon missionaries. The "Men on a Mission" 2009 calendar sells for $15; Hardy and his business partner have sold 10,000 copies so far, with a portion of the profits going toward charities of the models' choice.
The Church claims Hardy has used religion to sell sex, but Hardy sees it more as opening a dialogue. Hardy, 31, told Newsweek: "To them, the excommunication process is a repentance process. What do I have to repent of? For producing a calendar? Giving money to charity? I believe in what I did, what I'm doing, and I'm not going to stop it."

religions man now they r trying to tell us what we can and can not do. I thought we were supposed to go to church, pray to god and be forgiven? What happened to freedom of speech and the right to bare arms!!! I think I need a gun right now....
As much as I don't think this is a big deal, he should've expected some sort of punishment. Sex and religion don't mix.
