| Message | "It has been a long standing policy of the Beiteynuese government to weed out dangerous and violent cults from our nation whilst at the same time ensuring religious freedom is granted to true religions. The current law stems from this bill (http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=170511) but others have passed into law and been later overturned. The essential basis of it is to deny certain rights from those of unrecognised religions, or cults, in order to see the end of these pseudo-religions within Beiteynu. Registering religious affiliations is an integral part of this." -- Rosh HaMemshala Josef Nehushtan |

| Message | What that is, is curbing freedom of religion. What we could do, and what would be the responsible thing for the government to do is to combat violent religious members not ones that are non-violent becasue anti-cult legislation (no offense) sounds like a reason to be a little more authorotarian and to take part in the private part of a citizen's life. |
