| Message | This is an affront to the Christian heritage of this nation - it is a hardly disguised attempt to usher in Judaism as the dominant influence within Pontesi. |
| Date | 18:32:18, October 09, 2009 CET | From | Verititas Splendor Party | To | Debating the Ending State Officiated Religion |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, I reject your statement. Christianity itself proclaims messages about the separation of Church and State. It also teaches us to remember the Jewish peoples and to respect them for they were the first to hear God. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Let it be known that the Freedom Party has never been a party of name calling. That is solely the DP and the ONCP's area. In fact, the DP, in it's most recent post in this very debate uses simple ad hom. Yield. |
