| Message | You others nations are blind! Don't you see that without a God we (the government) become loved and worshipped and enmeies become the devil! Without religion there is no need for convincing the populace... we are omnipotent to them! |
| Date | 19:19:41, June 14, 2009 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Religion is The Opiet of Man |
| Message | How dare the Big Brother Party even think closely that we, the Republican Party, would even consider voting yes on this bill. Religion is the very foundation to life, it creates hope for those who are hopeless. And why should the government need worshiping? Our duties are to serve the people, we should be worshiping them. We strongly vote no. |

| Message | Parties of our great nation please dont ruin with horrible religious needs.... maybe (in response to the Republican Party) with a stronger centrilized government and illegalizing inproveable falsehoods (religion) we can make perpetual hope, happiness and comfort! Remember War is Peace Slavery is Freedom and Ignorance is Strength |
