| Message | We know these issues have been brought up recently, but is important for us to turn to them again. As the long-time voice of Christians in Jelbania, we strongly urge all parties to reconsider their support for our great religious traditions. We should not disassemble what has been the moral core of our nation. If we stand by our Christian values of peace, justice, and personal redemption, we will grow stronger. If we turn toward amoral and tepid secularism, we will grow weak |

| Message | Naturally we fully back. This is a Christian land, with a Christian heritage, and that should be fully backed with official recognition. |

| Message | We agree with the pacific and humanitarian values of Christianity, but these values are present in many other religions, we don't support relativism but we stand for the freedom of religion, everyone could choice his own religion in total freedom . For this reasons we oppose. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
