| Date | 15:40:12, July 16, 2006 CET | From | National Radical Union | To | Debating the Prohibition of Evangelism |
| Message | The proposal does not prevent one from having or practising a religion. It simply prevents religious organizations from using advertisement. Religious beliefs are not like consumption. |

| Message | I'd sooner ban the money-grubbing evangelists than prohibit a charitable religious function. |
