Message | One thing in general, why do you always put the value your propose in the bill description? We can clearly see what you are trying to do in your proposels. On this specific thing its a attack on religious freedom |

Message | It's the freedom of religion here, I believe this is not anything but an offense to that freedom. OOC: It's good that he does, as some of the proposals can be written in a difficult way, which can mean several things. Especially if you don't live in U.S. or an English speaking country. |

Message | You know that has always been my trademark, I always put a description specifically saying what the bill intends to do. We are not telling them not to be part of a religion, we are telling them that when performing their duties, as a public official, religion must be out of the way. |

Message | OOC: Well its just copied from the proposed value, they say the same thing. If it explains the bill more I understand, but if is just copied I just find it annoying tbh. |

Message | OOC: I don't copy them. I write them in my own words. Go and check all of them and you'll see they are not the same. |

Message | Religion is separate from State. You cannot involve religion in the State. |

Message | OOC: ok just nvm then. IC: Yeah you cant involve religion in state, but that means both ways. We cant have a state religion, but at the same time we cant have a state who banns the use of religious artifacts. |
