| Message | No. When Immeressen assumes his rightful place, it shall be on a mound of unbeliever corpses. His place is not with the dirt of democracy, nor the banality of a government. His rule should be absolute! |

| Message | We concur with the above statement. |

| Date | 10:00:05, November 05, 2007 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Theocratic War! |
| Message | Isn't Jesus Christ that notorious paedophile from Lodamun? The name does sound familiar... |
| Date | 15:56:21, November 05, 2007 CET | From | Kapitalist-Arbeitsfamilien Partei | To | Debating the Theocratic War! |
| Message | HAHAHA!!! Jesus is the the Messiah, actually, of the Theocracy in the Holy Luthori Empire in TERRA!!! We have been aggressively lobbying missionaries from the Holy Luthori Empire to come and covert the massees of Likatonia from the cult of Immeressen(LOL)!!! |
| Date | 16:44:28, November 05, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Theocratic War! |
| Message | Why would the CWFP invite missionaries to enter Likatonia in EXPRESS contavention of national law? Do our laws mean nothing to this shameless opportunist party? We have heard of this Jeebus Chris, but we see no reason to encourage some ridiculous little cult. |
| Date | 01:38:06, November 07, 2007 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Theocratic War! |
| Message | As an Aside, the CWFP may have a struggle invoking the Holy Luthori Empire; the largest party in that nation is the Union of the Godless, and the Head of State is a member of the second largest party, who are moderately secular. |
