Message | We must stand against this persecution of faith that goes through the channel of taxation and it must be stopped and that is why the Strength Party supports this. |
Date | 13:41:00, January 02, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the No Tax on Faith |
Message | The AAS must, here, agree with the Strength Party. To 'choose' some religions as 'valid', is to discriminate against other religions. The AAS believes all religions are equally valid... they are all either sharing some 'truth', or they are all fraudulent. Currently, of course, the AAS position is that they are all false. |

Message | To choose a religion as valid - we all know there is only one really - is to stop financially self enriching cults forming as a way of avoidign taxation. May Termani hear our words and bless our party. |

Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
