| Message | No. We hate art 3. You either TAX religion, or you dont. You dont tax half of it, and keep half of it. Religion is a business, they do not deserve the upper hand and tax cuts purely because they speak shite about the words and followings of god! If this bill passes, soon youll have a million Capitalists jumping on the religious tax cut band wagon to maximise their profits and then that would breed a million more stupid religions. Nuh-uh. |

| Message | LIA, the Pope is implicity linked to the LIA, whatever you say, the fact his powerbase also happens to be he LIA's powerbase, the fact you protect him, the fact that the LIA murdered his 'assassin', all of this points to the Pope being abum chum of the Ciccono's. |
