| Date | 13:08:17, August 09, 2012 CET | From | Patriarchal-Yeudi Party of Beiteynu | To | Debating the A Free and Jewish Kingdom |
| Message | No, no, no! How can you call it a Yeudish Kingdom?! This is blasphemy and sinful! These laws are against G-d and his commands! His wrath will soon unfold! Such as pornography: The flesh of man is weak, so we must protect the people for their own good. We can not trust man alone! And the death penalty: The Holy Scriptures should decide about the death penalty! We must follow G-d's commands! About the 'Knesset', we'd rather keep the name: Royal Sanhedrin and Congregation of Faith of Beiteynu, for we are a nation of G-d, wherein a Congregation of Faith should be allowed. And what about divorcing? The male partner should be the only one who may initiate a divorce, for G-d said so. These laws will destroy our nation, and will upset G-d himself. We yield, Shadrach Harris |
