| Message | Mr. Speaker, As dealers of death, religions have no right or authority to dictate what is moral and what is not. People may do ANYTHING (except murder or following an organised religion) they want to as long as it is contained to their own private lives. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The RtP only agrees with one of these policies and the third is definitely not one of them. We are at a point in time where important decisions can be made by our loved ones and if this happens to be sacrifice one life to save two, then there should be no reason to make this illegal. This fact alone dictates my decision. I yield. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, I ask the Spiritualist Society, if they believe people may do anything unless harm another person, why cant citizens be part of an organized religion? Religion is a great comfort to many of His majesty's subjects, why would the the LSSP wish to deprive them from this comfort? We ask the RTP which article they support, so that we may repropose it in the future. I yield |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, To the honourable member from the League, The Society feels that because organised religion always equals death and murder that it is obvious why the people can not be allowed to participate in organised religion. We believe that if a person wants to follow a religion than they must do it by themselves in their own home with absolutely no practicing of said religion in the public world. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The HLE is firmly founded in the belief that homosexuality is the best way forward, a measure to eliminate the rights of homosexuals who wish to adopt children is abhorrent and will not find support within this party. That being said, so long as the tests to be administered under the second provision of this bill are fair and discriminatory only so as to root out those unsuitable of being parents, the party could support support such a measure. |

| Message | To the Diet I shall not cast my vote, however I am sure this Diet remembers how Progressive of an Emperor I am, and remembers that we must maintain a balance. If we are to continue our ever expanding Empire, then we must continue to rule wisely. -Emperor Henry I |
| Date | 08:39:43, January 10, 2009 CET | From | Constitutionalist Imperial League (IA) | To | Debating the Religious Morality Act of 2693 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We thank the honourable delegates of the LSSS, RTP, HLE and the Imperial Court for their indications on which articles they would support. As it has much apparent support within the Diet, we will repropose article 2 in the future. The League furthermore believes that in order for our Empire to prosper, we must progressively return to traditional values. I yield. |
