| Message | OOC: Let the battle begin. IC: Article 12: Following the death of the Apostle Judas, his successor was chosen through lots. If God is willing to accept a lot for the determination of apostolic authority, then He permits lots. Article 13: There is no Biblical grounds for the cancellation of space exploration. In fact with the de-deification of nature, we are invited to investigate nature. If anything we should be exploring space to learn about God's creation: Psalm 19: "The Heavens declare the glory of God." Article 15: It is the Law of the Talmud that a certificate of divorce may be issued. OOC: More to come when I have more time |

| Message | Article 12: Greed is a sin, if you want to get rich quickly you are greedy. If you are greedy you are sinful. If you are sinful you will go to Hell. Article 13: Science and knowledge are enemies of Faith, they mock the Lord and deny Gods part in the Creation (human beings are monkeys, everything comes from a "Bang"). Article 15: If you promise something in front of God, you should keep it or die trying. |

| Message | OOC Pro-Tip: If you're wishing to emulate some type of right-wing fringe Christian denomination you shouldn't be putting forward articles 15 and 18 since not even fringe groups advocate this (especially since the adoption of contraception within the Protestant communities in 1929). |
