Message | We can't accept that. Unless, it excludes our one True Faith. |
Date | 18:19:25, June 27, 2015 CET | From | The Social Rationalist Party | To | Debating the Tax Religious Institutions |
Message | We think that although this bill is a step in the right direction, we would prefer if it also included charitable donations, a major source of income for these institutions. As for excluding the "True Faith" that is just preposterous... |

Message | See that they behave just like a company but deny it? What a shame. I'm taking this to a vote all the same. |

Message | After much thought, I have decided to disapprove your proposal, as it is offensive against the One True Faith of Aldegar, the Yazdean faith. I will have the Mobedan Mobed (OOC:Priest of Priests of the Yazdean Faith) pray for your souls, as you appear to have been taken away from the Light Regent Darnan Vanna Phirun |
