| Message | Once upon a time there was a man who lived within the Anglican nation of Pontesi. One day, the man woke up and found that he for some reason he had no faith in Anglicanism. He went about his work with the thought nagging him in the back of his head all day. Eventually the man came home to his wife and they ate dinner. While eating dinner, the wife asked "How was your day dear?". The man thought for a moment and told his wife of his predicament, "Honey, I've recently found that I cannot believe in Anglicanism, I can't be an Anglican anymore." The wife looked at the man for a moment before saying "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, you are a citizen of Pontesi, of course you're an Anglican." The man looked at his wife and responded "You're right, that was just foolishness", and he went back to his life. Though a philosopher pointed this out; we believe that this parable illustrates this point well enough to display the fundamental problem with this bill. |
