| Message | Halfhearted, at best. And nonsensical, of course. Zhelezo Immeressen is - as anyone can easily see - the living embodiment of God Among Us. There is no point playing with semantic terms like 'freedom of religion' when there is obviously a god, only one, and he already dwells among us. Folly. |
| Date | 09:11:45, July 16, 2008 CET | From | Likatonia Monarch Front | To | Debating the Right to Religion Act |
| Message | The Likatonia Monarch Front has their own ideas on a state religion. And how can you say that this *living embodiment of God* is truly our God? How could this embodiment nearly lost as the Head of State? How can the party that support him lost at the elections? Does not God have the power? However, at this time, we will support the Axis Mundi Sturm und Drang Partei to defeat this bill. |

| Message | Of course this living embodiment is god. That is not up for debate - it's been established fact in Likatonia for several hundred years. That miracle, alone, is enough evidence for us. As for how a god could lose Head of State offices, or his 'party' can lose an election - how is that a conflict? That's just humans exercising their free will, and being capricious. You notice that, over a number of centuries, somehow, Zhelezo Immeressen always bounces back. |
