| Message | We would prefer a more regulated approach, but any legislation is better than the current one. |
| Date | 07:47:35, February 02, 2006 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the A Secular State |

| Date | 10:37:37, February 02, 2006 CET | From | Totalitarian Party | To | Debating the A Secular State |
| Message | While the state religion is mandatory, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be instructing all Gaduri police forces that no citizen of the Exalted Empire is to be arrested for breaking church law, nor speaking out against the Fascisti Church. The Totalitarian Party supports this bill. |

| Date | 07:28:18, February 03, 2006 CET | From | National Fascisti | To | Debating the A Secular State |
| Message | Furthermore, people are not arrested for breaking church law or speaking against the Brotherhood. They are arrested when they have been excommunicated, because they are no longer part of the MANDATORY religion, and hence BREAKING THE LAW. Hence, Internal Affairs is FAILING to comply with Gaduri laws. CLEARLY Minister Višarr, is CORRUPT and must be arrested immediately! |
