| Message | We support articles 2 and 3, but would prefer that article 1 be set at "There shall be a minimum wage at a level that a single full time worker on it can adequately subsist." in order to allow for a minimum subsistance but also to not adversely effect business. We also welcome the reintroduction of a State religion and we would assume that it would be that of our Lord Hoba following the teachings of the One True Voice, Alan be Praised. Would we be correct in that assumption? |

| Message | yes as hobrazism is a national religion,it it the relligion in question unlessthere is a religion that is bigger,which i doubt |
| Date | 15:50:39, April 23, 2007 CET | From | Sebastian Flyte Party | To | Debating the the derrfe change |
| Message | NO! There are many people who do not follow that religion, and passing this article may lead to discrimination. |
| Date | 09:11:37, April 24, 2007 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the the derrfe change |
| Message | How would it lead to discrimination? There is nothing written in law that allows people to discriminate on religious grounds so doing so would be breaking the law, moreover although this would reintroduce our national religion as being officially the State religion once again, membership is voluntary so there would be no forcing of people to join said religion.

| Message | any way, it may not be hobrazism,it doesnt say on the article |
| Date | 14:37:13, April 27, 2007 CET | From | Hobrazian Peoples Party | To | Debating the the derrfe change |
| Message | Then it is stupid to send a bill to vote on state religion without defining the religion in question. Prior to this it has been hobaism and hobrazian ortodox churh that has been state reliigons and it should be those thatshould be reinstalled. |

| Message | well i dont want to be biased in my decision ,but hobraism has been said by two partys while the hobrazia orthodox church has only one mention,see i wasnt here when people wanted a state religion ,so thank you for you infomation,i declare officaly that it will be hobrazism |
| Date | 23:26:17, April 27, 2007 CET | From | Hobrazian Peoples Party | To | Debating the the derrfe change |
| Message | We can equally have two state religions recognised on equal terms, but as the HPP prefer hobaism we can't argue here. Though we must still respect the large amount of believers in the hobrazian ortodox church community. We can support this bill by now. |
