| Message | Religion is a dangerous idea. It assumes that the government does not and cannot have ultimate control, and with the breaking of this illusion comes the shattering of our solidarity. The people must realize that bthere are no rewards after death, that the only rewards are a useful life served in the machine. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
