| Message | we have to let the people believe in something, even if it is an "opiate", it calms their nerves and gives them comfort, which is more than any government or person can do. |

| Message | This is an offensive and ridiculous bill. This may be the most oppressive bill I've seen since the old National Farmer's Party opposed the abolition of slavery. I cannot believe that there is a single member of this Parliament that would vote for this bill. |

| Message | In what way is it oppressive? If any thing religious dogmas that you seem to be quick to save from this bill is the most oppressive bullshit in all of human history. Secondly to allow this to continue is to allow people to just abandon any type of reasoning. |

| Message | Dogmas? We're talking about the rights of people to practice whatever religions they want to! Just look at that fourth article! "Any form of religion is banned" Does that sound just a little oppressive? Banning the private beliefs of an entire country? That's totalitarian! And, FYI, some of the greatest minds have been quite religious. I don't even think the far left parties in this Parliament will vote with you. This is, as SEP said, idiotic. Please send it to a vote, so we can give it the 0-750 defeat that it deserves. |

| Message | I agree! Send it to vote, I can't wait to make my vote a NO! And I will thoroughly enjoy watching you being the only one to vote yes to this pointlessly oppresive and poorly thoughtout legislation. Time to vote!!! |

| Message | Well Socialist Ecology Party I could care less whether you vote in my favor. I already know you usually vote on the rightwing side of the political spectrum. Oh and by the way I removed the 4th bill it was ,I understand it was a little excessive on my part. |
| Date | 01:55:15, March 23, 2006 CET | From | Socialist Ecology Party | To | Debating the The Removal Of Religious Dogmas Act |
| Message | And I could not care at all about the crap you call legislation! |
| Date | 02:37:38, March 24, 2006 CET | From | Whigs | To | Debating the The Removal Of Religious Dogmas Act |
| Message | If you call anyone who votes "no" to this as being right wing, than it would seem that you are the only left wing party in this Parliament! And, we all know that itsn't true. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
