VIOLENT VIOLETISTS DEMAND BLOOD

"What have we got to lose?" says religious freedoms advocate Beth Rifkin. "Just cut up a few homeless folk- it appeases this group's bloodthirsty Goddess, gets rid of unsightly bums that drain welfare, and everybody goes home happy."
[Accept]


"We must go much further than a few beggars!" argues the overzealous High Member of the Order of Violet, Tobias Jones. "You must pass a law that everyone’s first born child must be slaughtered, on live TV if possible. Think of the viewing figures!"
[Accept]


"You aren't going to listen to these whackjob Violetists, are you?" comments Hack Licorish while leading a prayer group. "Human sacrifices! Surely we're too civilized to permit such barbaric practices! These lunatic fringe groups should be outlawed, their leaders should be executed!"
[Accept]


"Who's being a lunatic?" retorts Billy Love of the Tn3 Humanitarian Society. "I agree that these practices ought to be outlawed, but instead of sinking to the same level of these fanatics and killing our fellow people, why not simply start a re-education program? Even the worst person can be rehabilitated into a useful member of society, with enough time, care, and lots and lots of funding!"

Which one of these options is most pro-religion?



The other issue is the Minorrity Language issue... I dont have the exact wording but here are the options:
1. Create Nat'l academy to regulate grammar and usage
2. Recognize the minority language as an official language
3. Impose a completely new language on the nation

Which one of these options makes your citizens the smartest? Which one makes your citizens the dumbest?

For the violent violetist issue, the second option would be the most pro-religious and pro-violetist. If you don't want to trample other religions, choose the first option.

For the minority language issue, the first option will increase smartness at the expense of the right to speak other languages. The second option will also increase smartness and probably civil rights. The third option may (at least for a while) make your citizens dumber as they are forced to learn a new language.
