| Message | So religions can make all the money they want tax free, and there's even an official state set of superstitions? This is a horrid, horrid proposal. |
| Date | 14:41:27, January 09, 2007 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Religious Agenda Revised |
| Message | Due to article 3, we cannot support this proposal |
| Date | 20:30:03, January 09, 2007 CET | From |  Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Religious Agenda Revised |
| Message | Unfortunately, the LITP cannot support article 3, although we would support Articles 1 & 2 if we they were raised seperately. As a footnote, the word horrid should not be used. The correct adjective would be horrible. Regards, The LITP |
