| Date | 14:49:13, June 29, 2007 CET | From | Crown Loyalists | To | Debating the Seperation of Church and State Act 2421 |
| Message | Separation of Church and State does not equate to a blanket ban on public religious activities. This bill is hypocrisy. |
| Date | 15:15:31, June 29, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Liberal Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the Seperation of Church and State Act 2421 |
| Message | Of course it does. If you want equalité, liberté you have to ban public religious activities. Otherwise one could never look at the other without prejudice. Or do you talk with people who covered their faces? |
| Date | 15:17:49, June 29, 2007 CET | From | Gao-Showa Imperial Party | To | Debating the Seperation of Church and State Act 2421 |
| Message | If they wish to cover their face to comply with their religious beliefs they should not be stopped. In fact this act bassically excludes those who have to wear symbols as part of thie face from holding public office or even using public services. |
