Message | We surprisingly are with the CLP on this bill. Article 3, though it does not ban teacher-led prayer in public schools, it does allow it to be outlawed on the local level. |
Date | 21:56:34, November 15, 2008 CET | From | Konstitutionelle Monarchie Partei | To | Debating the Hulstrian Religious Liberty Act 2666 |
Message | Yes give the powers of allowing foreign missionaries in the nation to the office controlled by the Christian Liberals, even the KHP didn\'t move to such audacity. With their current trends to religion, we can\'t trust them to undertake such provisons, and will attempt to repeal this one it passes. |
Date | 00:17:06, November 16, 2008 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the Hulstrian Religious Liberty Act 2666 |
Message | This law gives the Foreign Office no powers of that nature. The law as it currently reads, \"The government selectively screens which religions are permitted to send missionaries to the nation. Certain religions are approved and travel is unregulated.\" means that government agents make potentially make the choice of who can come into this nation and what religions can be represented. The law as we have proposed to change it only mandates that foreign missionaries register with the Foreign Office, it gives the Ministry of Foreign Affairs no power or authority to prevent their entry. The FAP would help the democratic process if they would at least take the time to read the law before they pass judgment. |

Message | Don\'t lecture me on helping the democratic process when your party is only in the position its in because there was no real opposition in the national elections. If it weren\'t for the absence of the KHP, VFA, and myself, you\'d still be holding below 20 seats in the Imperial Diet. Allowing the government to approve foreign missionaries has worked and a lot of them go through with ease. The majority of the FMs are well intended and promote the religious scene in the nation, they are some however who wish to distrupt it based on their whatever values. The proposed law is very vague and doesn\'t go into much insight. The current clearly shows what the government is doing and how the process is handled. |
