| Message | We cannot and will not support this bill. The acceptance of the Lord Hoba through the teachings of the One True Voice, Alan be Praised, should be accepted by all people. We already allow that people be allowed to be any religion they choose, but by maintaining our State religions we guarantee our history. |
| Date | 17:37:37, February 17, 2007 CET | From | Hobrazia Democrats | To | Debating the Separation of Church and State Act |
| Message | We tried that before as well, but we will support this proposal |
| Date | 14:28:53, February 18, 2007 CET | From | Classical Republican Party | To | Debating the Separation of Church and State Act |

| Date | 07:03:14, February 19, 2007 CET | From | National Imperial Hobrazian Front | To | Debating the Separation of Church and State Act |
| Message | Having the official state religions as Hobaism and the Hobrazian Orthodox Church does not infringe upon the secular nature of Hobrazia. It does, however, honor two institutions that have contributed to the unique culture of our glorious nation. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
