| Message | Mr. Wrightward, You claim this bill to be the will of the people, but what do you know of the people? You religious types are all the same, spreading your falsities and illusions of freedom. The Solentian man, ensnared and confused by so many teachings of salvation and morality, will begin to lose the freedoms and place their lives into the hands of smooth talking preachers, who rather than hoping for growth of the citizens are inhibiting it; who rather than helping are harming. Morality is a human, not a theological, habit, Mr. Wrightward. Adam Holt Senate Warden of Solentia, SWDL Chairman |

| Message | This is a schizo bill. It is against and yet for religion. ooc: this kind of bill only ends up putting everyone into a nearly equal footing, which is pointless. |

| Message | Mr. Holt, First off, it's Doctor Wrightward. I am not much for religion, I almost never attend Church. I believe that religion should be encouraged, but only as a social activity. I more than agree with you on all points, however I believe that adulthood should not be determined by a number. I have been one of the people all my life and I know what my fellow man is asking for. My fellow man is asking for religion. Dr. Eustace Ali Wrightward MPS Chairman |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
