| Message | "As it is written in the Book of Bliss... "He is a prophet of Akim sent unto the Qedarite people, in order that Majatra may walk in the law of the Lord, as it is written in the law of Arik.

| Message | Why would anyone want this? How would these proposals benefit anyone? Just leave your own beliefs at home and in your religious buildings. Imagine if some other religious group forced your children to learn about their beliefs in school. Imagine if you were jailed for freely voicing your religious views. Would this not be absolutely outrageous? -Nalph Rader, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |

| Message | "The ROS have never made any real attempts to hide their substantial Ahmadphobic streak. We now see it continues to telling Ahmadi citizens to stay indoors and leave their faith in the temple. It is the absolute right of all Majatrans to be peacefully united and expressive of their faith in Akim. No amount of hatred from the ROS will change that." Ala-ad-Din ibn Haroun al-Fulan, MUP Chairman |

| Message | "The religion of Ahmad is good for society, but if taken to an extreme level, it's dangerous. We think it should be legal, but it shouldn't be forced." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS |
| Date | 23:34:23, March 09, 2015 CET | From | Federal Green Party (FGP) | To | Debating the One True Faith Act 3813 |
| Message | Funny coming from the party that wishes to jail people for freely voicing their opinions, not believing in your religion, or dressing however they choose to. You have an intense phobia of everyone who is not an Ahmadi Fundamentalist. This is the only phobia that actually exists amongst our respective parties. I don't think anyone believes in the credibility of a party who would support such policies. How can you say that we are oppressive or committing hate when you would JAIL everyone in our party who speaks out against you? This is a laughably ridiculous argument, to say the least. -Nalph Rader, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |
| Date | 23:36:07, March 09, 2015 CET | From | Federal Green Party (FGP) | To | Debating the One True Faith Act 3813 |
| Message | Our party does not get involved in your personal lives or what you choose to wear or believe in. Your party DOES do exactly these things. Please explain how we are the ones who even remotely hate anyone here. Anyone who supports jail time for peaceful people who disagree with your own views is either very insecure or mentally unstable. -Nalph Rader, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |
| Date | 02:51:34, March 10, 2015 CET | From | Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the One True Faith Act 3813 |
| Message | "For expressing our faith, proposing legislation for open debate and voting in a democratically elected chamber, we have been called evil, a plague, fundamentalists, extremists, fanatics...the LPS propose to sell off the nation's schools, hospitals and introduce alcohol for minors and they are called moderate. This is the great hypocrisy of the racist, Ahmadphobe elite." Ala-ad-Din ibn Haroun al-Fulan, Supreme President |
| Date | 04:31:36, March 10, 2015 CET | From | Free Democratic Party | To | Debating the One True Faith Act 3813 |
| Message | "No we aren't selling off the nation's schools. We are trying to decrease indoctrination. We are decreasing our own power for the good of the people. That's called sacrifice. No, we aren't getting rid of hospitals. Our party hasn't gone after the health budget or public health care yet. We like hospitals, and we like healing people. No, we don't want to introduce alcohol to minors. We just want to localize it. If a community wants it legal, than so be it. Minors shouldn't drink it, but if it's legal by their community, we shouldn't stop them. The Unionists are lying. We have the right to call your proposition stupid. You have the right to think we are stupid. According to your philosophy, I could accuse you of blasphemy right now because maybe according to my religion, any member of the LPS is a god. We aren't, as we are politicians, and politicians suck, but still imagine that. Maybe you should go to prison." ~Ted Johnson, Head chairman of the LPS |
