| Message | With these regulations, or rather lack there off, the Federation of Darnussia will lose a part of the religious freedom we value, and will become a religious dictatorship. Blasphemy is part of freedom of speech, and in our point of view necessary to retain scepticism and a healthy amount of knowledge. Teachers should not be allowed to do anything concerning their religion in classroom, as that will indoctrinate the future generation to believe religious indoctrinations and be anti development. If anything, religion should be banned from the public eye completely, or else we fear, that the future generations will be too indoctrinated to function properly. That is why we , the LPF, say no. |

| Message | With respect to our friends in the LPF, The people of our Federation have a right to decide such matters for themselves. The entire point of our federation was to give the local communities power over matters such as this, and localities which wish to institute blasphemy laws should be free to do so. Moreover, what the opposition seems to forget is that Darnussia is a Hosian and religious nation, and that her people desire nothing more than the right to live in a state where the Hosian faith is given its due respect. Religion should not "be banned from the public eye completely", nor shall it ever be. |

| Message | We respect your opinion, and obviously, as Darnussians ourselves we know that we can't change the religion of the majority of the nation, however you, the establishment, need to consider that these friendly policies towards religion will go in the wrong direction. Sooner or later, the future generations will be slaves of the system , and with religion getting new free passes, this could mean that our great scientific achievements and interests might plummed and take place for religious interest in the near future. We don't want this indoctrination of the public. Every citizen should get the right to believe what they want |
