MessageThis Bill disregards Dorvik's Christian heritage and imposes unfair restrictions on Christians living here. We need to put God at the centre of our national life, not relegate him to the margins.

MessageWhat does taxing non-profit religious groups or banning religious groups from sharing their faith have to do with a separation of religion and state?

ToDebating the Fair Secularism Bill
MessageAdvertising a belief is grossly wrong, its almost like pressurising people into following a religion. Evangelism is a fairer alternative.

Taxing religions is fair, there is no reason they should be treated any differently than companies should your party feel they should have the right to advertise like a company.

MessageIn the interests of fairness, perhaps the Green Socialist Party should also prohibit organisations from promoting atheism.

ToDebating the Fair Secularism Bill
MessageAtheism isn't a religion and therefore isn't covered in this bill.

Our party is not against religion, we simply support the right to choose. We feel Atheism should not be promoted either.

MessageIn other discussions, the Green Socialist Party has made much of how they believe individuals should be free to do whatever they want, however objectionable. Are these same individuals not capable of reviewing the opinions put forward by religious organisations and forming a personal judgement on their veracity? What is so wrong or so scary about religious groups that they must not be allowed to speak to the public? Why, to the GSP, is it acceptable to have sex with animals, masturbate in public or snort cocaine, but not, say, pick up and read a religious pamphlet prepared by a local Catholic church?

Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play.

Random quote: "The problem is big government. If whoever controls government can impose his way upon you, you have to fight constantly to prevent the control from being harmful. With small, limited government, it doesn't much matter who controls it, because it can't do you much harm." - Harry Browne
