| Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill makes no sense. Lodamun's official religion (which is mandatory for all citizens) is atheistic. classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=386761 Religion does not need prayer. Theism needs prayer, and theism is illegal in Lodamun. There is no god above the state. -- Kurt Norstavan, Justice Minister |

| Message | Well the People's Reform Movement intends to change that. Not only must Lodamun embrace religion - it must embrace all of them and encourage students for whom prayer is a part of their doctrine to do this in schools where possible and so desired. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The PRM should change the other laws before changing this one, or it will create confusion and conflict among our laws. What the PRM speaker said makes no sense, because all students follow the atheistic Lodamese Nationalist doctrine. All other religious influences have been purged for over 80 years: - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=386761 - http://classic.particracy.net/viewnews.php?newsid=392209&nation=19 Foreign influences have been reduced: - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=389248 - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=395141 - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=395144 Lodamese Nationalism is the only religion in Lodamun. Students are already embracing it, and prayer is not a part of it. Their religion doesn't need prayer. Their religion is against prayer. -- Kurt Norstavan, Justice Minister |
