I believe that this is a good issue, but it needs cleanup.

2. "That's a LIE, son, we come from the great meteor of truth!" yells firebrand preacher Pastor Richards, kicking down your door. "We cannot allow there transgressions against the HOLY truth to continue! All the heathens should be thankful we don't burn them at the stake for their devilry! This nation's true and just government must ban the filth and corruption being spread bah these WICKED men!"

If anyone has played GTA Vice City, and listened to VCPR, you'd hear those same lines when Pastor Richards comments on evolution. Obviously that's a cheap ripoff from a game, and should be changed.

1. "Ach, good to see you haff made it here in one piece," says evil doctor @@RANDOMNAME@@ as you wake up strapped to a chair in a secret lab. "As you can see from my brilliant experiments, science has now solved zer problems of zer vorld und ve need nothink else! I propose zat ve do AVAY vith zer teachink of silly thinks like religion und concentrate on zer FACTS! For a start, ve must teach our children where ve came from. Ve shouldn't be teaching anythink that hasn't been scientifically proven - er - accounted for, I mean. Igor, release our guest - I haff a monkey to show him..."

wtf?

4. "Stop bickering already!" says @@RANDOMNAME@@, Minister of Education. "I say that you can have your cake and eat it, too. Education should be split if it stops this debate. The parents can send their children to secular schools or religious schools, based on what they want their kids to hear. It's expensive, certainly, but the education budget has been needing boosted for ages anyway."

"has been needing boosted" > "has been needing to be boosted"

That's called an in-joke, and only the first part is quoted. It's rather unlikely to be changed, since there are many such in-jokes, quotes and references in issues. For, you know, humour.
