| Message | How can we be expected to stop people from believing what they will? Keep religion out of the government but if the individual so chooses to hold it close to itself, despite how irrational or senseless their religion may be, they should be allowed to do so. We could only support an eradication of faith based schools and what they are allowed to teach, but an eradication of religion altogether would be too much of an infringement on individual rights. |

| Message | We beleive, as does a sizeable portion of the likaton public as witnessed in the last election, that freedom is achieved through the liberation of the individuals mind from the enslavement of religion. Superstitious witch-craftery is no substitute for a fine mind that can contribute healthily to the well being of the state. |
| Date | 12:18:55, February 19, 2007 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the Religious eradication bill |
| Message | Which is why we need the restrictions in place against religious indoctrination. However, in the end, we are in the right to discourage religious superstition, but we are not in the right to persecute believers by making it illegal. |
| Date | 19:49:28, February 19, 2007 CET | From | Democratic National Party | To | Debating the Religious eradication bill |
| Message | This bill is very tempting but we will vote against it because we don't believe in making religion illegal outright. It will just make fanatics stronger. |
| Date | 08:09:55, February 20, 2007 CET | From | AM Feminazi Movement | To | Debating the Religious eradication bill |
| Message | We care not about the fanatics, for we will have already turned their children away from religion. |
