| Message | Either all religions are permitted to promote themselves, or none. Only *some* of them under the government's criteria is unfair and discriminatory. |

| Message | So you believe that cults and religions that preach violence against us should have the right to advertise? |
| Date | 15:52:21, July 21, 2017 CET | From | Social Liberal Party | To | Debating the The religious advertising act |
| Message | Personally I agree. No religion preaching violence should be advertised. Now name one religion that doesn't preach violence. |

| Message | There may be religions that have violence in them but what is more important is how those that follow their religion act, you don't see christians murdering gays now do you? |

| Message | Every religion has extremist, and is highly likely than a homosexual has been killed by a Christian extremist. If the government allows a religion to advertise, but ensures it can't advertise violence, that would be good in our view. However, this does allow for possibly only allowing religions that would favor the majority to advertise. Is forbiding all religious advertising really the answer though? |

| Message | As this seems to be about to pass, as incumbent Secretary of Internal Affairs, and in view of the arguments exposed in this debate, in order to avoid any type of discrimination among religions we will have the following policy regarding requests of religions to advertise: Any religion that directly opposes violence and does not include violent messages in any piece of propaganda or holy book will be allowed to freely promote itself as any other private business. ~~ Martin Sheckmer, Secretary of Internal Affairs |
| Date | 01:40:45, July 23, 2017 CET | From | Nationalist Party of Likatonia | To | Debating the The religious advertising act |
| Message | I commend the Secretary for his non-discrimination action taken. Ronald G. Steele, President of the PSPL Minister of Environment, and tourism |
