Would it be possible to modify this issue to have a non pro religion option?
Violent Violetists Demand Blood!
The Issue
Members of a new weird religious cult, called the Order of Violet, ask for the government to appease their mighty god by offering Her a sacrifice of the human variety.
The Debate
1. "What have we got to lose?" says religious freedoms advocate Thomas Broadside. "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]
2. "We must go much further than a few beggars!" argues the overzealous High Member of the Order of Violet, May Wu. "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]
3. "You aren't going to listen to these whackjob Violetists, are you?" comments Klaus Bush 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]
4. "Who's being a lunatic?" retorts Hack Fellow of the Armacor 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!"
[Accept]
