| Message | Mr Speaker, I am Patriarchal, my wife is a different form of Patriarchal. My grandfather was a Universalist, as is my father. My grandmother is Religio Seluciana. My son has chosen at the age of 17 to be an atheist. I still love them all, despite our differences. We are proud of our beliefs, and we don't want some Bishopalist Luthoran telling us what we can believe! Humphrey Lawson IV Unity Leader Agriculture Minister |

| Message | Mr Speaker, Bishopalism includes Luthoranism. Regardless of this, why are you all restricting my right to believe what I want to? Any party that votes for this is an enemy of mine, and of my party. I will not enter cabinet with a single MP who votes for this. Humphrey Lawson Unity Leader |

| Random fact: When you join the game, you will find yourself with only zero seats. That's because your party's representatives haven't been elected yet. You need to establish your party's position on issues by proposing several bills that your party wants passed and sending them to vote. This raises your visibility and if you do it enough, you will win seats at the next election. |
