Message | My friends, As a minister of the Church of Lodamun, I must deeply protest the passage of this bill. The Church of Lodamun, with its unique place as the states church, has provided charity for millions, and while respecting the religious freedoms of this nation, provided a cultural and spiritual bastion for the christian people of Lodamun. It has been nothing but a positive for the people of this nation, and its disillusion as the states church would be an unmitigated tragedy. It is one thing to believe in the freedom of religion, it is quite another to deny the heritage of a nation. please, do not pass this bill. -Rev. Otto Boar |

Message | I'm unsure how removing the title of state church from one particular denomination will harm that denomination's charitable works. |

Message | The so called "Church of Lodamun" (OOC: I don't know who came up with that name or when it was created or when it was passed by the legislature) is merely a facade for corruption and manipulation of our citizens. |
