I wrote this issue, but i cant submit it for a long time -dont steal it. anywa i figured since i cant submit it i should get some feedback, you know to improve myself....

Name:
One God Not Enough?

Description:
Religious leaders in @@NAME@@ considering converting from Monotheism to Polytheism.

Validity:
If the nation is religious

Options:
[option] "Wait," protests religious follower, Terry Aki, "So our leaders, who have given us faith in our god just want to switch, just like that?! The religion in @@NAME@@ has always been the same. And i speak for many in our church when i say that one god IS enough and we have to keep up our religion! If anything we need to encourage our current religious beliefs! The last thing we need is to lose faith in the one dearest to us for a bunch of less significant gods!"
[effect] All citezens are forced to be religious and beleive in the same god.
[stats] Religion Increases, Civil Rights Decrease, Happiness decreases


[option] "Monotheism doesn't satisfy many members of the @@NAME@@ church!" exclaims Religious leader @@RANDOMNAME@@, "Terry doesn't know what hes blabbering about! If he wants us to be faithful, he needs to listen to his religious leaders. More gods to beleive in would also help those who dont always beleive what they pray for is right- now with more than one god you only have to pray to the gods you belive in. The more the Merrier i always say!"
[effect] People are praying more often and people can be found discussing which gods they do and don't like.
[stats] Religion Increases, Happiness Increases, Civil Rights Increases.


[option] We randomly interviewed @@RANDOMNAME@@ about it and he frowned as he told us "They both need to lighten up. Let people beleive what they want- you dont need a church! instead turn the chapels into bookstores that sell all kinds of bibles so people can pick them out and study their own religion or something- I don't know...but people need to stop bickering and just pick whatever makes them happy, even if it's no religion at all.."
[effect] churches are demolished and bible stores are built. People can be seen reading them at public places all the time.
[stats] Religion Decreases, Civil rights greatly increases

Sorry to be blunt, but it's not a very good idea. Try picking something with more relevance to today's society.

Why does it have to be relevant in today's society? These are fake nations with fake societies. If someone has a nation that is highly religious, it would be an interesting issue. But you should proof read it and make the effects more painful.

I believe the rule is you're not allowed to submit issues unless you have a population of 500 million or greater.

Just fix the typos and send it in. sirocco doesn't like it because of the concept, which cannot really be changed and which others don't seem to mind.
