Message | What a horrible concept. Why are you trying to force your idolatry on the good people of Likatonia? There is but One True God, and He walks among us, and His name is the Immortal Zhelezo Immeresen (praise be unto him). We shall pray for you in your errant and idolatrous ways, but we shall oppose your ungodly legislation. |

Message | OOC: The state religion is - as it has been, on and off for centuries of Liaktonian time - Immeressence, the faith that has grown up around the apparent godlike immortality of Zhelezo Immeressen. |
Date | 14:32:11, February 23, 2010 CET | From | Christian Democrat Party | To | Debating the Religious Freedom Act |
Message | This bill does not enforce anything upon anyone. Its purpose is to promote freedom to choose religion, it does not enforcy but allows everyone to worship how they wish and places no restrictions on worshipping Zhelezo Immeressen. We feel that it is the right of everyone to choose their religion or none at all if they wish. |

Message | We agree that the ability to worship different gods is a good thing - for backwards nations that do not have a God walking their streets. Since our God can be seen every day, by anyone who cares to visit the Convocation, it's an insult to suggest that there's rational sense to what the CDP call 'religious freedom'. The CDP attempts to undermine the One True God shall not go unchallenged. |

Message | Religion, i believe makes good people do stupid things, but also good, and freedom is always better than oppression... |
Date | 03:06:58, February 24, 2010 CET | From | Throne of Immeressen | To | Debating the Religious Freedom Act |
Message | Is suffocation better than breathing? No - giving someone the 'choice' to stop breathing air, and to breathe water, or a pillow, is not really freedom - it's murder. Immeressen is omnipresent and obvious. Denying Immeressen is like denying the air. What you call 'freedom' - is spiritual genocide. |
