| Message | I prefer the current legislation as it ensures that religious ministers will not be payed for their rendered services, keep the state out of religion......well to a point but ensure that ministers dont start charging for spiritual experiances, yes! |

| Message | It is completely unacceptable for the government to forbid religions to pay their ministers. This is not a matter for government to decide and we should pass this bill to move away from religion. |

| Message | Unregulated religion is not good for this and as said religion should be free and not charged for, you are turning spiritualism into a business! |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Princeton University defines remumerations as: wage: something that remunerates; "wages were paid by check"; "he wasted his pay on drink"; "they saved a quarter of all their earnings" I see no reason why minister's can't earn a wage. |
