FromCourt of Shades
ToDebating the The Bringing Golden Light to the Lodamese People Act.
MessageMr Speaker,

The Court of Shades is concerned that this bill places Lethoism above all other religions. This would be very problematic for Shadowists who follow the Way of the Shadow.

Will the blasphemy provisions apply to just Lethoism or all religions?
Why are only recognized religions taxed? Why is it up to the government to decide which religions are "recognized"?

If this bill applies to all religions equally, then the Court of Shades will support this bill.

MessageThe Golden Dawn apologizes for the 'Lethocentric' Nature of the phrasing of the Bill. Our love for our particular region can make us a touch over enthusiastic at times. All religions will be viewed equally under our bill. as for the government recognizing religions, this is simply meant as an initial step, this definition will be changed later on.

I understand the GLD's situation, Shadowists have been known to do this as well.

The GLD appreciates the COS support and understands if not supports the position taken by the ECA, it heartens us to see our first bill gain so much support within our great nation.

MessageAfter much soul searching and consultation with the grand clerics of the faith, LSDP party leader Caleb Hill (hereafter known as Caleb Angeles), has stepped into the glorious golden light of Letho (PBUH).

Consequently, we will be supporting this motion, as it strengthens the standing of not just our new-found faith, but the esteemed beliefs of all our countrymen.

ToDebating the The Bringing Golden Light to the Lodamese People Act.
MessageWe are worried that this is the start of some sort of theocracy in the making, while we do support the nature of this bill, religion, does it really have to limit free speech even though it may be harmful to religious beliefs

We do not like the fact this bill is limiting free speech

MessageTo the PLUP
Letho welcomes all who walk in his light and don't, we see the risk and are sure as long as parties like yours are around to keep us on the straight and narrow all issues around a theocracy rising through our good, if at times enthusiastic, intentions should be mediated.

Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass.
