| Message | Mr. Powell We would like you to know in advance we agree with some of your policies in principle but your inability to write a proper Bill and your inexcusable defence and reasoninings are why we vote against them, this is another example. We agree that recognized religioms should be either tax exempt or have special tax statuses however your bill simply says Hosian. That term is broad we wouldnt even begin define. As well Religious Freedom is allowed under Hutorian Law so theoretical all faiths are "Hutorian" religions. If you want to create a Bill like this you must first define what a recognized religion is and isn't... and if you want to be taken seriously by whatever allies you MIGHT have in Parliament you need to show us your a serious political party. Honourable Kaitlin Young Leader of the Royalist Alliance of Hutori MP for Bekenial West |

| Message | The Civic Party formally disagrees, as we believe that all religions should be taxed on all sources of income. Travis C. O'Brennan Spokesperson for the Civic Party of Hutori |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Honourable Lady needs to explain why she thinks the Hutori Nation should give tax exemptions to religions that are not Hutori. Hosianism is a Hutori religion. Always has been, always will be. The others are not. So what do we owe them? Bobby Powell Chairman of the National Action Party |

| Message | The NDP agrees with the Civic Party; this bill is preposterous. Simone Reese Chair of the National Democratic Party |

| Message | Mr. Powell You would be incorrect. The only religion that has always been Hutorian has been Mashacarian Spirit Worship. They are indenginous to Hutori so their faiths came first. Everything is in fact imported; Hosianian, Satanalism, Ahmdism, Yeudish... all imported bu other nations... and you are speaking to the party that supported the establishment of the Established Church of Hutori, an offshoot of Luthorism as the Official State religion. So i ask you against Mr. Powell; how would you define what a recognized religion is? Honourable Kaitlin Young Leader of the Royalist Alliance of Hutori MP for Bekenial West |

| Message | Mr. Powell, We are in complete agreement that recognized religions should not be taxed. However, where I think we differ is that you wish for only Hosian religions to benefit from this tax exemption. Where we seek to maintain Hutori's religious neutrality and offer this tax exemptions to all except cults. Lawrence Harding MP (F) |

| Message | Mashcarian Spirit Worship is not a proper religion and should not receive any special treatment. It is just a set of primitive superstitions belonging to a barbaric, uncivilised people. Bobby Powell Chairman of the National Action Party |
