[description]According to the statistics, interfaith marriages between followers of @@FAITH@@ and Violetism in @@NAME@@ are on the rise. But sociologists have also discovered a worrying trend: a sizable portion of @@FAITH@@ devotees usually convert to Violetism right before tying the knot.

1. [option]"This is a Violetist conspiracy to slowly erode @@FAITH@@ and change the very fabric of our society!" fumes @@RANDOMNAME@@, an ultra-conservative columnist, carrying a banner that reads 'Roses are red, Violetists are poo'. "We cannot allow this travesty! The solution is to ban interfaith marriages disregarding shotgun conversions, and to stop the Violetism virus from spreading further."

2. [option]"This is a bit extreme, if you ask me," interjects @@RANDOMNAME@@, an anthropologist from @@CAPITAL@@ University whose research focuses on Violetist traditions. "In the Violetist community, marrying an outgroup member is often disapproved of - and so is apostasy. So if a believer of Violetism wants to marry a believer of @@FAITH@@ their only option to avoid ostracism is for the latter to convert to Violetism. We cannot change what Violetists believe, nor can we tell adults whom to marry. All we can do within bounds of reason would be to be on the lookout for signs of 'coerced conversions' and prosecute those."

3. [option]"Why do we allow people to leave our glorious religion @@FAITH@@ and condemn themselves to a life of sin and misery?" asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, a preacher of @@FAITH@@, theatrically raising @@HIS@@ hands to the heavens. "Once a follower of @@FAITH@@, always a follower of @@FAITH@@, if you ask me. Muttering some Violetist tongue-twisters cannot - and should not - change where your soul belongs. We should prohibit people from leaving @@FAITH@@."

4. [option]"I can't believe how hateful you all are!" gasps @@RANDOMNAMEMALE@@, a Violetist citizen whose wife is a follower of @@FAITH@@. "If anything, @@NAME@@ needs more interfaith marriages, not less. My wife and I raise our kids biculturally, they decorate our house with violets for the Violet Holidays, and they... do stuff with... @@FAITH@@ paraphernalia for... whatever holidays @@FAITH@@ celebrates. My point is, we need to make it easy for people to mingle with and marry people of other faiths, so everyone can enjoy this diversity."
