| Message | We're pushing for a minimum tolerance for religion, not a religious movement. The freedom to have a religion shouldn't be denied to our citizens. |
| Date | 08:29:24, September 11, 2011 CET | From | Social Democratic Party (LL) | To | Debating the Basic Religious Rights Bill |
| Message | We will strongly oppose. We especially oppose missionaries, as we think it is beneath us to have people coming here for the purpose of converting our rational populace into faithful followers of some supposed Sky Bully. But make no mistake; taking that out would not mean there was any chance we would support the bill, either. |

| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
