Bill: Religious consensus of a nation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperial Power Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2369
Description[?]:
| We shall hereby declare that the one and only official state religion shall be Hobaism. It shall be allowed for foreigners to practice other religions in private, being that they are not nationals or citizens of Darnussia. No other religion shall be recognised and allowed in public and Individuals must be members of the Hobaist faith to be granted citizenship. What follows is the official doctrine of the hobaist converting: The Revolutionary Council for Justice and Democracy and the Government of Great Democratic Republic of Darnussia will henceforth accept that there is and ever shall be one true religion of the people of the Country and that this religion is the only way to salvation of the soul. To this end, the one true religion of the Country shall be, Hobaism as taught through the Speaker of the Sacred Word, Keith be Praised. Accepting that the only way to salvation is to accept the teachings of Hoba and the Spirits and that all peoples wish to have their ever lasting souls saved, the Government will introduce that the current National religion should have all peoples of this fair Republic as its members in order to allow those peoples to accept Hoba into their hearts through the teachings of the Speaker of the Sacred Word, Keith be Praised. To those people who have thus far accepted a false religion, the mandatory joining of the true religion will allow them to learn from within the teachings of Hoba through the One True Voice, Keith be Praised, and so allow their eternal souls to be saved far easier than allowing them to continue without the teachings of the One True Voice, Keith be Praised, than would currently be possible. Keith be Praised. For information purpose: Hoba and thusly Hobaism is only called thus due to it being the translation from Ancient Hobrazian. A literal translation would be "Land God" or "God of the Land" (or Spirit if preferred). Basically, Hobaism isn't about any particular political dichtomony. You can be socialist, capitalist, whatever. What you must do though, is accept the teachings of Hoba into the very soul of your being in order to be saved and reach enlightenment. Another important aspect of the religion is that Hoba is merely the top deity. Below him are the Spirits of the Land and they can be from anywhere in the world as they are, literally, of the land. It allows the religion to be personalised within each Country whilst maintaining the same basic structure (Hoba). Basically, Alan is the One True Voice and Keith translated the word of Alan into Darnussian. So they become the One True Voice, Alan be Praised, and the Speaker of the Sacred Word, Keith be Praised (though this is Darnussian only). Alan be Praised. Keith be Praised. |

| Message | OOC: Again with the Hobaism? Your just asking for another ethnic cleansing when I return. |

| Message | The "The Revolutionary Council for Justice and Democracy " doesnt exist, so this proposal is invalid. Try again. |

| Message | OOC: And this Hobaism would be the state religion, as there already is a list of State Religions. All your doing is attaching the article "Citizenship is granted based on race/religion/gender", that does not matter seeing as we have List of State Religions which are already mandatory. |
