Message | We see a huge limitation to the ability of science research from passing this bill whilst taking away from the natural rights of the non-religious in favour of select religious belief. This nation has varying religions and this bill does nothing to protect their ideologies whilst taking this nation to a ecclesiastical position that it has never held. By limiting the choices of the majority you have further damaged their journey unto enlightenment. May the Lord Hoba forgive you. Alan be Praised. |
