Date | 19:09:52, May 21, 2008 CET | From | New-Revolutionary Communist Party (NRCP) | To | Debating the Religious Freedom Act |
Message | The people of Darnussia know their heritage. Why do they need the government to tell them who they are? Also; it is entirely wrong for a state, an inherently non-religious body, to claim or imply that one religion is of greater value than another. |

Message | Darnussian state is not non-religious body, atleast if we take a look at it's history. Oh well, this wrong will be righted in the future after few elections. |
