| Date | 17:07:04, October 08, 2006 CET | From | New Theta | To | Debating the Freedom of Religion Act (May 2295) |
| Message | We support this act only in the name of Human Rights. Religion, ie. "faith", is nothing more than a reward & punishment system for the weak whose beliefs in deities, fate and after-life benefits are nothing more than the delusions of the irresponsible and the severely aberrated. Neo-Scientology is a route to total freedom, sanity and ethics for the individual and for society that requires no faith or "beliefs". It's rapid expansion demonstrates that THIS is the new and much needed force required by the People to drive our country forward into the 24th century. Faith has no place anymore. Pah! |
