| Message | This is a disgrace to the country. A decision making by one major ethnic group with disregards to the minority who didn't practice the same religion. If you don't want to used the Contraceptives then just don't used it, you can't forces people from other religion to abide to your believe. Anjoy Poesy |

| Message | It doesn't means that there is zero minority group in the country and that everyone is Judeo-Christian. (OOC: Take a look at the Pontesian Enquirer or Central Broadcasting Committee of the Beiteynu Resistance in the RP thread in the forum for more info) They deserve to be recognize. You can't pushed people around, Democracy is to follow the majority, but not to ignore the minority. Anjoy Poesy |

| Message | This state recognises Judaism and Christianity as the primary faiths of the State. Secularism and the secular agenda will not be supported by the Christian Reform Party. We will however tolerate those of other religions, but our laws will be based on the Judeo-Christian morality system. |

| Message | "We will however tolerate those of other religions, but our laws will be based on the Judeo-Christian morality system." We find this phrase ridiculous and totally unacceptable. By saiding that, you have exerted that your religion is the sole faith in this country and that other believe, other practice, other people are nothing but a dirt aganist your religion. The government must maintain neutrality regarding the practice of religion. We can't force people to believe what you want to believe. |

| Message | We don't assert that it is the only faith. It's the majority faith, and if the people wish to live here our legal system is based on Judeo-Christian laws, they have the right to worship whatever religion they wish, but we have our legal system and that is to be respected. |

| Message | The legal system that will punish the people who live by a different fate? That's unacceptable and is an oppression on human right. |

| Message | It's not punishing anyone, it's quite possible to remain celibate until marriage surely? People are still free to practise their beliefs. |
