| Message | Hhhmmm, would the ARP be interested in supporting the Coptic Church as a state religion? |

| Message | The FRP is hypocritical. They recently argued that we not encourage schools to give students sexual education, as the schools are private and need the right to make the decision themselves. Yet the FRP then goes and argues we need to encourage schools to force religion upon possibly unwilling students. How does this make sense? |

| Message | We understand the UMA's point and will respond: Sex education cannot be compared to religion. Religon of the type practiced in Mordusia promoted good morals. Sex Education is in contradiction with many religious faiths. We will never oblige anyone to pray or follow a sex education clas. |

| Message | The fact of the matter is that it must be the school's choice whether or not to introduce prayers into the school. The Government should not attempt to intervene into private market, if there is demand for it, the school will provide it. It is not up to the Government to promote or discourage anything regarding education. OOC: The above is the exact response I would expect to hear from the FRP, not the UMA, but we are confused as to the hypocricy displayed by the FRP. Religion is important to many Mordusian's, but not all. Sex education is considered a necessity by many Mordusian's, but not all. Why should the Government legislate to promote one, but not the other. Leave the school's to teach what they like, the Dept of Education under UMA control does not have adequate funding from the Government Budget to be able to afford to "encourage" prayers in schools. |

| Message | In response to budget problems, all education is privatized. If not, then it should be made that way. We would oppose one particular religion being made the official religion. We would prefer all Christians adhering to the Nicene Creed(all those except Jehovah's Witness, Mormonism, and some Messianic/Gnostics) be included. |

| Message | What about Jews, as a Judeo-Christian party, we could not accept ths. Educatio is indeed private. |
