Bill: Religious Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Radical Nationalist Party

Status[?]: defeated

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: February 2412

Description[?]:

We believe that the nation needs a strong moral fibre, and religion is the key to offering this. Any nation that shuns religion has always fell to the influence of sinners and perversion. Religion will ensure strong family units, strong respect for family and neighbours and will also help in the fight against Sexualy Transmitted diseases.

Before someone brings up the argument of contraception, any religious person who uses the anti-contraception argument is not religious as they should not be having sex outside of marriage in the first place.

MessageThis is merely a false step towards freedom. Religion is about choice, if the government can restrict which religions come into the country at the same time that state-owned schools are praying certain prayers with its children, that's called indoctrination.

MessagePerhaps some sort of compromise may be reached?

FromRadical Nationalist Party
ToDebating the Religious Act
MessageWe need to restrict religions preaching hatred coming into the nation, religions that preach that unbelievers should be killed have no place in Lodamun.

Prayers being encouraged does not mean they /have/ to, it is optional.

MessageBut this doesn't account for multiple religions.

True, hate-speech should be discouraged, but what about preaching peace and love from the standpoint of one different from the government?

"Encouraged" may not be mandatory but the point of view will have to be sanctioned with the school and ipso facto, the government.

What we need to do is take a Laissez-faire approach to religion in schools by permittig prayer in school and neither encourage nor discourage it. School boards and parents can decide what they want or don't want in their schools, let us stay out of it and concentrate on running the country.

ToDebating the Religious Act
MessageIn response to the Nationalist Party:

Very, very few religions preach hate and racism towards another group of people. This bill only restricts freedom of religion.

ToDebating the Religious Act
MessageThat is true, but a major religion does do that, and some religions do have their radicals who would be barred from entering Lodamun. You may notice its the missonaries that get screened and not the religion.

ToDebating the Religious Act
MessageLess government usually means better government. As long as we can all play nice, why have the government regulate?

Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action.
