| Message | Mr Speaker, As a Selucian Patriarchal Hosian, I quite obviously do not stand behind this. The Werin Da supports state regulation of religious matters as well as banning cult-like religious establishments, not the creation of a theocracy. In my view, the Hosian values that constitute the fundamentals of our society are to a large extent shared by all mainstream denominations, as well as by the Yeudi, and to some extent Felinists, Yazdi and Draddwyr pagans.

| Message | Okay. Our policy would allow for all forms of Hosianism, including Selucianism as well, if it were to pass. However, that does not seem likely. |

| Message | Well, I thought the last bill was the worst I had ever seen, and I was quickly proved wrong when I read this bill. Are you serious? This bill is awful, ignorant, and discriminatory. We owe it to the Alorian people to give them a government they deserve. And that will not stem from stifling the freedom of the Alorian people to live the lives they want. I trust in Alorians to do what they think is best in their owns lives. This bill is insulting. The author of this bill and the supporters should be ashamed of themselves. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
