| Message | As a holy empire we should support the estate of holy matrimony, not encourage divorces with no grounded cause where one party still wants to make it work. Think of the children, for Christ's sake, THINK OF THE CHILDREN! |

| Message | Hmm, well since the social right-wing seems to be completely uninterested in discussion or compromise, perhaps it is time to just start pushing an extreme leftwing social agenda. The SPP appreciates the PUP and it's attempts at discussion, unfortunately you are the only party talking. |

| Message | The Free Presbyterian Church will still hold marrying couples to their vows for life. UVF enforcers have already been reported to have kneecapped sinners for breaking their vows and have razed "churches" to the ground where "divorced" sinners were attempting to commit bigamy by "remarrying" while their spouses are still alive. |

| Message | On that note, can you stop razing the LCC churches, you should be used to our activities by now. |
