International Religious Forum

Alzhiemerica

A World Forum of Religious Leaders will be held in Alzhiemerica, in the Thefgui Hilton, in Thefgui, the nation's capital city (numerous other accomodational facilities exist, attendance is nearly unlimited). The purpose of the Forum is very much open- it will serve as a peaceful place for speeches, discussions, panels, and whatever other modes of communication are brought up among delegates, regarding contemporary issues of religion. All religions are welcome to attend, and to submit topics of discussion. The forum will try to uphold the right of free speech, however, items may be vetoed by the host country, especially items degrading to other religions. This is to be a positive forum.

OOC: I'm an inexperienced RPer, sorry if this is rough, please go easy.

Alzhiemerica welcomes you with open arms. ... with our customary greeting. :fluffle:

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL DELEGATES: Please refrain from attempting to actively convert followers.

If possible, please send the leader of your religion, or a representative- eg, for Roman Catholics, the Pope, Bhuddists, the Dalai Lama, etc. In the case of Islam, and other religions, I realize this is not possible.

Interested citizens are also encouraged to attend.

The Empire Of The UN Punjabi States shall send one of their religious leaders to spread the awareness of Sikhism over the world. At this point in time ur trust for certain other religions is very little and The Leader Of The Empire Of The UN Punjabi States has orderd an armed guard from the 401st Khalsa Battalion to accompany the religious leader. The Leader and 40 special forces commando's will request permission to enter your great and wonderfull state, we hope you shall accept.

I request that atheist representatives not be allowed, for their very purpose is to oppose the religious cooperation of this conference.

I agree seeing as atheism is the work of shataan and should be wiped out forever. In fact, destroying atheism should be a topic during this gathering.
The HeavyArmourBrigade

May it also be noted that The HeavyArmourBrigade also wishes to discuss the discrimination against Aethiestic groups.

Aethiest's have as much right to be here as any other religious group, Aethiesm is a belief system just like all other religions.

And was it not also stated by the Alzhiemerica representative that the forum was 'The purpose of the Forum is very much open- it will serve as a peaceful place for speeches, discussions, panels, and whatever other modes of communication are brought up among delegates, regarding contemporary issues of religion'

Open=Aethiests allowed

Our security will always try its best to meet your needs, and those of any foreign national who feels threatened. Any excesive physical or verbal aggression against another delegate is grounds for expulsion from the forum.

And many thanks for your kind words about our nation.

The Forum Committee further releases a statement bringing up the point that many recognized religions, such as Budhism, do not involve a god, and are therefore atheistic.

The HeavyArmourBrigade Thanks Alzhiemerica For Permitting Our Aethiest Representative To Attend.

However Due To The Stated Position Of Several Attending Nations We must Request Additional Security For Our Delegate.

The Christians of New Jerusalem do not have a formal leader of the church as all men are equal in Gods eyes and no one is holier than another. we will, however, send a council of priests to reperesent us, if the council permits it

I believe that an atheist on board is not a bad idea, so long as he respects our own beliefs.

However Due To The Stated Position Of Several Attending Nations We must Request Additional Security For Our Delegate.

Your request shall be granted. All delegates will be provided with extra security upon request, but not so much as to draw attention to themselves, and away from the procedings of the Forum.

The Forum Committee sends out a memo requesting all admitted members to submit proposals for discussion, paneling, etc.

New delegations are still welcome to attend.

OOC- Heading off to bed now, feel free to discuss and RP amongst yourselves, but no security problems, please.
Luna I

The Colony of Luna I has a religious movement that seems to have caught a popular majority - in essence a new form of christianity that rejects all pagan customs adopted by christianity after the first century departure of the Christ. Belief in all of the clear scriptural doctrines of classical christianity without all of the blasphemous ideas that were inserted there after. For example that the man Jesus was some how contrary to all reason the very person of the Almighty. Scripture does not state this so they donot believe it - I will contact the house of God of Luna I and they will send you a representative.
