A well deserved motion that has my support.

Nothing more to add except that this thread is hilarious with all of the reactions of staunchly religious people quibbling about commending Satan. :rofl:

If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

Eh, I posted in my own commendation thread. There's no rule against it.

I'll be voting for this commendation then, just to balance out your presumed against vote.

haaaaaail Satan!

Is still bad form. I think I voted for you anyway as you deserved the commendation ten times over.

Regarding CoS, personally I don't think he's worthy of a commendation (above and beyond) but I don't really feel strongly either way about whether he gets it or not. He's not a bad person and did a good job some times and a terrible one other times which balances out.
As always, I'm representing myself.

Seems to be just about as worthy as anyone else that got a commendation the last few times.

Vote for, we're atheists anyways.

The official Church of Satan (IRL) is atheist in it's beliefs.
Ambassador Ariela Galadriel Maria Mirase
37 year old Arch-bishop of the Arasi Christian Church (also the youngest ever arch-bishop and fifth woman in the church hierarchy). An attractive but stern woman with a strict adherence to religious and moral ethical codes, also somewhat of an optimist. She was recently appointed to the position following the election of Adrian Midnight to the position of Patriarch.

So, apparently they were important to both The Rejected Realms and Lazarus: I've looked at those two regions from time to time, mostly because puppets of my own were there, but don't know enough about the actual governments in which this nation participated to judge their value there for myself. The other regions listed here, I've heard of but that's all.

No, we're proper atheist, we ignore the entire religious element, like the fantasies they are, and only look at the cold hard facts.

As such, a vote of yes was decided.

With Europe voting for, it's now swung to 52-48 in favor. Still have a few high-endo delegates to go.

I don't know whether to be baffled by the religious aspect of some nation's choice in voting logic, or roll my eyes.

The Church of Satan has provided crucial and influential impact to many regions for a very long time. I worked with The Church of Satan on many occasions and his input was always wise and just.

I see absolutely no reason to not vote in affirmation of this commendation.

We are a "religious" nation but support the right to your own beliefs. Due to what we have seen as a poorly named but quite helpful and just nation, we vote aye.

To be bluntly honest I don't think CoS has earned a commendation at all. But I also don't overly mind considering some of the other highly questionable ones that have passed
