[DEFEATED] Commend The Church of Satan

[Marilyn Manson Freaks]

Church of Satan... hmm don't we try to stop followers of the devil from doing bad things, like genocide,why are we commending them?

He's not the actual Church of Satan. He's a player with the same name. Also, the actual Church of Satan is atheistic.

[Nagatar Karumuttu Chettiar]

I am against the motion for the sole reason that is his name.
Sorry CoS. I cannot bring myself to implore my region to vote 'for' for a person that chose to use the name Chuch of Satan.

Believe me I understand. Countless players refuse to rise above their own prejudices. One more such player is fully expected. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that you care that much to hate me though.

CoS, I dont hate you at all. What you have done is worthy of a Commendation, I just cannot bring myself to vote 'FOR' on a Proposal literally called "Commend The Church of Satan".

It is not about any prejudice towards you, it is disapproving of your choice of such a blasphemous name.

[Grantonlatis]

We want more information about this proposal. Is this going to change countries religions whether they like it or not?

Well, I chose my name because of my personal religious beliefs soooo...yeah.

Nope. The Security Council's resolutions don't affect nation stats. That's reserved for the World Assembly's other half, the General Assembly.

It's just a name, it doesn't discredit for what they contributed. As simple as that.

It is a hate filled action if you cannot look past a simple, logical explanation for an indiscretion in your opinion of a situation. Forgiveness is preached by a lot of major religions. Weird how such a thing can't be used in a situation like this, even when you acknowledge he deserves the commendation.

Almost seems, anti-religious and blasphemous not to vote "for" under your reasoning.

But you do you *sips cup of tea*

[Of A Person]

If you think about it, would you commend a nation called The Church Of Catholics, if yes then you should do the same for The Church of Satan, for he is stating his beliefs.

If no,and no to any other forms of religion you should still vote yes because your a atheist too.

[Kuriko]

Im guessing this will be one of the closest SC votes on record, if not the closest.

[Apple-Loosa]

Im guessing this will be one of the closest SC votes on record, if not the closest.

It's certainly looking that way. This has been a real nail-biter.

[Tinhampton]

Im guessing this will be one of the closest SC votes on record, if not the closest.

It has quite some distance to go before becoming the tightest ever SC vote: Commend Glen-Rhodes, mark 1 (seeing is believing). This resolution appears mostly to have been thrown by Altinsane's sudden swing against in the past hour or so.

[Umeria]

Okay guys we need a few dozen people to change their vote right before it ends.

We can make this a tie. We can break all the rules.

We can do this.

[Catreula]

One person please vote yes and then nobody vote! Then, the first tie in NationStates history!

[Far Easter Republic]

As long as this includes as much info as we can gather, then this won't have any troubles getting passed. We GCRs can carry this through if the religious peeps try to take it down and maybe we can finally make some progress on dismantling their bad name intoxicating the site.

...

Yes! vote Against or change it to against!

[Nagatar Karumuttu Chettiar]

Fine... I will vote for...

There goes my eternal soul...

[Pal Lundelackcodan]

But it feels so good to be bad. ^_^

I know, right?

i'm watching. always watching.

[Yokiria]

And with one swift blow, the East Pacific kills the Commendation. Incredibly dramatic timing on Fedele's part.

[Reploid Productions]

Alas, and but for the most fleeting of moments, the voting was tied at 7610-7610 earlier.

I kinda wish it ended that way, heh.

[AquilaJordyn]

Fully and obviously ironically support. I recognize this thing is probably going to fail considering there are now about 15 minutes left on the floor for it, but I just wanted to offer my support. The reasons for commending CoS seem like good enough reasons to me, I've heard worse reasons. Judge the person not the ideology. Consider this your very, very unofficial seal of approval from the Catholic Church CoS. I think Pope Francis agrees with me. Trust me, we're totally friends.

[Kuriko]

"Commend The Church of Satan" was defeated 8,347 votes to 7,814.

[Arasi Luvasa]

Alas, and but for the most fleeting of moments, the voting was tied at 7610-7610 earlier.

What would have happened if voting just remained in a tie?

I can appreciate people with a sense of dramatic flair
