| Message | While we would support articles 2 and 3 using our "live and let live" policy with regards to religion, we're interested to hear the reasoning behind article 1. We originally allowed the minister veto system to allow the government to step in to prevent radicals, cultists, or other dangerous characters from trying to lead a legally recognized congregation. What are your thoughts on this? |
| Date | 23:20:53, January 12, 2015 CET | From | The Orange Tie Party | To | Debating the The Religious Minster and Missionary Act |
| Message | We at the Orange Tie Party feel that by allowing the government to control appointment of religious minsters in anyway, we allow the future possibility that the government could enforce religious ideals onto people by vetoing ministers who may speak out against the government. |
