| Message | Deciding by themselves means giving them the opportunity to hear prayers or go to religious school. You aren't forced to do so. These schools are for people who want it. This is amazing discrimination- and it is discrimination- and the majority of Lourennians who identify in having a faith. Disgusting. |

| Random fact: In cases where players introduce RP laws to a nation and then leave, Moderation reserves the discretion to declare the RP laws void if they appear to have fallen into disuse. In particular, please bear in mind that a player who is inexperienced with Particracy role-play and has joined a nation as the only party there should not generally be expected to abide by RP laws implemented by previous players who have been and left. |
