| Message | I don't believe this is right in democracy my friend. |
| Date | 04:11:09, April 10, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Heritage Party | To | Debating the Religious Schools Ban Act |
| Message | We fervently oppose this legislation, and it only serves to underscore the ideological extremism of the 'Popular Socialist Liberation Movement'. Christianity is deeply embedded and rooted in our nation's heritage, in all of its cultural and moral manifestations; it has served as a bastion of decency, civiility, and good values in our society; it is a time-honored institution, its enormous value proven through the associations of marriage, family and community that it has preserved, yet the 'PSLM' want only to expel it, along with its many great influences, from the public sphere, supplanting it with their amoral, value-less, Marxist drivel. The only alternative the 'PSLM' can offer is secularist indoctrination and rigidly enforced uniformity. They want only to impose their radical beliefs on the entire populace, using the federal government as a means for their ideological meat-grinding, inspite of Rutania's dominant religious constituencies. The 'PSLM' mock religion, yet put their unfaltering faith in so-called 'modern science', reason and rationalism - the false prophets of the post-Enlightenment era. The 'PSLM' misconstrue the nature of man, as he is driven not by his reasoning faculties, but by passion, emotion, and tradition - many natural developments of mankind cannot be rationally 'understood', 'explained' or 'rationalized' by science or reason, yet they are fundamental to his societies. The church is one such institution - it cannot be explained, but it has untold value to our nation. If we remove such institutions - the pedastals on which our society rests - Rutania will be plunged into social anarchy. The 'Rutanian Heritage Party' not only opposes this legislation with absolute conviction, but propose that prayer and the teaching of creationism be restored to all public schools. |

| Message | PSLM recognize our citizens' freedom of worship and right of religious organizations to disseminate their views. But we afraid that extremist, obscurantist and even totalitarian churches are currently able to wash the brains of our children. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
