| Message | If this passes, then we need to be consistent, and force this upon all private businesses as well. But I still oppose this, as trampling upon the private businesses of religions. |

| Message | One thought though.. Since the PP has proposed an official state religion (which I oppose anyway), how are the 55 million residents of Malivia going to know what is going on with this religion since there is another bill that bans all advertising? Is it too much to ask for the PP to think before it submits bills like this? |
