| Message | Did you have a stroke? Anyways, if we did have a religion to be our state, it would be the Hobrazian Orthodox Church. Silly heathens. |

| Date | 21:20:49, November 25, 2006 CET | From | First Party Of Hobrazia | To | Debating the Bringing Hoba to the People |
| Message | We like the current policies, religion has no place in schools as it forces beliefs on the young of our nation. |
| Date | 02:13:13, November 26, 2006 CET | From | National Imperial Hobrazian Front | To | Debating the Bringing Hoba to the People |
| Message | We could support two or three state religions. The three religions that are explicitly Hobrazian in character are the Cult of Alan, the Hobrazian Orthodox Church, and the indigenous religion of Hoba/spirits. |

| Message | Cult of B'stard and the One True Voice, Alan be Praised, are one and the same. |
| Date | 12:20:26, November 28, 2006 CET | From | Hobrazian Peoples Party | To | Debating the Bringing Hoba to the People |
| Message | We would gladly accept any religion that can strengthen the morals of the youth in our nation equal to our political stance on moral. We would also be glad to only accept that religion. |

| Message | @CSP - Why would we accept religions that are not inkeeping with Lord Hoba and the word of the One True Voice, Alan be Praised. Accepting more than one State religion would mean we accepted other religions to be on a par with our Lord Hoba, which would be plain wrong wouldn't it. |
| Date | 17:04:59, November 29, 2006 CET | From | National Imperial Hobrazian Front | To | Debating the Bringing Hoba to the People |
| Message | No, it wouldn't be plain wrong. The Hobrazian Orthodox Church has long been in operation and is thoroughly Hobrazian in character. What would be so wrong with a co-state religion? Christianity is on par withe the One True Voice, so Lord Hoba will just have to deal with it. OOC: Several RL states have more than one. Lebanon has three! |
| Date | 09:11:37, November 30, 2006 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Bringing Hoba to the People |
| Message | But if the true path to enlightenment is to follow the Lord Hoba through the teachings of the One True Voice, Alan be Praised, then would not acknowledging that the Christian Orthodox Church is on a par with our Lord merely reduce the status of our Lord or make it more difficult for our people to choose the correct path? |
