| Message | Religion has no place in modern society, it must not be allowed to corrupt our children with it's outdated and idiotic notions. |

| Message | So you believe that the world was made in 7 days? And that humanity was corrupted by a talking snake? Note that not ONE religion in the entire world considers Intelligence to be a Virtue. That in itself is very disturbing, Religion is a threat to the development of society and to Progress in general. |

| Message | we disagree with 2 and 3 |
| Date | 01:44:33, November 08, 2005 CET | From | Zapatista Party | To | Debating the Religous Policy |
| Message | No, CSP, we dont agree as we are not religious. However, religion isnt killing your party or any other people so its fine to be left how it is. Well worry about it when it does start killing people, which we dont think will be in the near future! |
| Date | 01:48:34, November 08, 2005 CET | From | Zapatista Party | To | Debating the Religous Policy |
| Message | Also, we disagree with article 2 and 3. Regulations NEED to be kept in EVERY school. Were not making people go to school to learn how to become brainwashed idiots! Also, we dont understand how article 3 gives freedom? This takes, not gives! This means teachers or heads can FORCE children to pray. That is not freedom! |

| Message | OK, clearly the PTU doesnt like to infringe on individual rights unless its forcing children to pray. |

| 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). |
