Graet is quick to deflect his "argument" to real block chain spam, ...
Trying my level best not to be biased, I believe christian writings and regular pornography should be treated on par with one another in this reguard.  Both information classes are very well-know, loved by many, and highly offensive to many others.  Is there some significant logical distinction I'm missing?
Two unrelated distinctions:
1. The prayers are part of the coinbase, which was designed for text messages, and can be instantly purged from the block chain if necessary. Real spam is a corrupt transaction, not by design, and can never be purged from the block chain.
2. Subjective offensiveness is irrelevant. The prayers are objectively good, and pornography is objectively evil.
