| Message | We would have favoured the second article, but thanks to the blatant violation of the seperation of Church and State and the freedom of religion contained in this bill, we shall have to vote against. |
| Date | 12:20:18, November 19, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Imperialist Party | To | Debating the Cult Values |
| Message | Having government recognised religions which are exempt from the normal rules governing society is in fact incompatible with believing in the seperation of church and state, RSDP. Against all of this. |
