| Message | I do not understand why people want a theocracy; it is a corrupt and repressive form of government regardless of the religion that is in the center of the theocracy. I think that any particular religion should not have any influence in the government; a secular state is the best for the every person in Luthori, it creates an environment where freedom of religion and religious tolerance can floruish; a religious state does the opposite. While it is true that irreligious people are more secular, this does not mean that a religious person is necessarily a political religious; a person can be religious in faith and secular in politics at the same time. The education system should not dictate any religion because it is against the principles of a secular state and restricts freedom of religion; if such a thing is done, Luthori will lose the freedom of religion and religious tolerance which are important parts of a just and compassionate society. This bill is dangerous and should not be passed, if this passes; the current authoritarian regime will become totalitarian regime and a theocratic dictatorship will start; I warn at start, if other parties do not listen, we will lose our beloved democracy and freedom of religion. Marlin Orval, Deputy Leader of Progressive Liberal Party |
