Date | 15:06:45, September 19, 2018 CET | From | Socialist Party of Kalistan (SPoK) | To | Debating the Religious Freedom Act 4457 |
Message | Freedom of expression and speech is a right held by individuals, not corporations. Religions are corporations, individuals remain free to say what they like about their beliefs. But organized religion is a corporation, and so it is in the public interest to prevent the corporation from falsely advertise. We oppose this act because we do not understand why the Authors of this Bill want to allow religions, alone among all corporations, to lie to the people of Kalistan. I want to be clear, the SP is not saying that religions lie to people. But there is no proof to the things religions say, so it is impossible for anyone to prove the existence of Heaven or that the world is only 7500 years old. So why should they be completely free to say so? |
