Bill: Establishment of Hosianism as Selucia's State Religion.
Details
Submitted by[?]: Pars Militum Petulantia
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 4306
Description[?]:
| We must recognize the dominant religion in Selucia, Hosianism. Hosianism and all its branches continue to enlighten the population of Selucia. Religio Seluciana is on the decline, and no-longer as relevant as it used to be. We will not even discuss nor mutter the name of the filth which continue to defile our great people. At this time, we need to take steps to aid the spread of Hosianism throughout all the islands of Selucia, and to stop the foreign religions which make our citizens impure. Marcus Antonius Marinus Cato Consul of the People Leader of the Fascist Regimen Immutata |

| Message | First off, Hosianism is a foreign religion, so we don't know why you want to promote it over the clearly Selucian Religio Selucia. Secondly, Partis Imperialis would like to know what the hell is Factio Foederati's domestic policy. You both want a republic and apparently a theocracy, even though they previously voted for no state religion, you also want to privatize almost everything, and you want to restrict civil rights. Please tell us what we should even call you, or maybe we should just call you fascists, as you agree with them all the time. |
