| Message | I am not going to even bother debating, because you know that is completely wrong. The membership is COMPLETELY voluntary. Which means you have to perform an action which makes you an member of that religion. There will always be other religions, which we will let advertise themselves etc in whatever way they want. |

| Message | But you are encouraging a "state religion." That state religion will receive specal treatment. Don't be kiddin yourself. We all know that. |
| Date | 04:06:18, July 13, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Religions Principels Act |
| Message | You are basically saying to the people over and over: You can be of whatever religion you want but we highly "encourage" you to be member of "our" religion. |
| Date | 04:11:22, July 13, 2008 CET | From | Republican Party of Lodamun | To | Debating the Religions Principels Act |
| Message | We feel that it is necessary to encourage religion and beliefs, and we see it as encouragement in order to activize themselves within the religious movement. Not saying that this religion is better than anything else. |
| Date | 04:17:23, July 13, 2008 CET | From | Republican Party of Lodamun | To | Debating the Religions Principels Act |
| Message | It is important to adress ourselves as a religious nation, both internationally and most of all internal. This is what we feel as beliefs, and are hard to debate. |
| Date | 07:15:34, July 13, 2008 CET | From | Seldonist Cognitive Party | To | Debating the Religions Principels Act |
| Message | Religion is a threat to the Happiness of the nation and should be BANNED! |
| Date | 15:15:40, July 13, 2008 CET | From | Republican Party of Lodamun | To | Debating the Religions Principels Act |
| Message | I still do not understand the "logic" in Seldonism. But surely Religion has created a lot of happiness, at least in the modern times. And we believe it's a right, that people should be able to believe whatever they want, at any time. |
