Message | President, A "Hosian" Democratic Union? If it were truly a Hosian party, you would not support such an anti-Hosian bill such as this!! Koloman Gyrowetz, Leader of the Progress Party |

Message | Mr. Gyrowetz, We are indeed a truly Hosian Democratic party and if you were a truly progressive party you would see the necessity of separation of state and church simply because not all Dorvish men and women are of hosian religion and we are well aware of that. When it comes to government permission to promote religion, we assure everyone that every recognized religion which is part of our culture, heritage and does not call for aggression or violence will be granted such permission automatically. This law has one simple aim. To protect our people from dangerous cults and sects which may call for violent, xenophobic and aggressive behavior. Mr. Gyrowetz even the Hosian religion most holy book says about the necessity of paying taxes so we see no reason to exclude churches from paying taxes. Suzanne Heikler, Federal Chancellor. |

Random quote: On 7th February 4281 a group of renowned Metzist experts from all across Terra met in Haldor to form the International Committee for the Estimation of the End Date of Capitalism (ICEEDC). With the assistance of a powerful computer, they calculated that capitalism will terminate Terra-wide on 6th November 4320, and in Dorvik on April 17th 4310. We have no reason whatsoever to believe these very eminent and learned scholars are wrong. They have never been wrong about anything before. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
