| Message | Herr Huspresident, article two could fool some people into thinking it were tiny step in the right direction toward freedom of religion, but at least seeing it combined with article 1, should shatter all illusions, and it goes to show what is the true totalitarian agenda of this newly branded party. Only the recognized religions should get even more privileges and freedoms over and against the non-recognized. As long as I am minister of education and culture, any and all religions are recognized, but for how long will this last now? What will be the deal given, by a new government to all our minority religions? Who shall be selected by Highsun to the privileges, and who shall be cast out? I'm sure many are thinking they will be among the chosen ranks, but these scenarios always end up in corruption, power politics, terror, and in the end we are all losers. -Rebekka Töffting, minister of Education and Culture |
