| Message | Freedom of belief is paramount in a democracy. Not to bash DT, but the fact that a self proclaimed cult repeatedly tries, with occasional success no less, to ban all religion puzzles me. With the religion of the Dark Templars be banned by this. |
| Date | 00:31:21, June 13, 2013 CET | From | PDP (Pro Dictatorship Party) | To | Debating the Freedom From Religion Act |
| Message | I agree, this seems to me that under the act of this, the Dark Templar is thus breaking it's own rule. Fairly hypocritical... |
| Date | 14:06:07, June 13, 2013 CET | From | Iqembu Sokusebenzisana Yeningi | To | Debating the Freedom From Religion Act |
| Message | The Dark Templar society is quite adamant that they are not a religion. That belief has been upheld many times in the Ikradonian courts. One may freely question, but I for one am willing to grant them the right to thus define themselves. Naturally, however, the CCC remains opposed to these restrictions on free thought and religious expression. |

| Message | As stated before the term cult was applied by the Union Socialism Alliance and was never acknowledged by out party as truth. |

| Message | And I believe he was referencing more a "cult of personality" than a more spiritual cult. |

| Random quote: "In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a cheque. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - Martin Luther King Jr. |
