    "content": "The Senate Majority Leader told us that the Parliament contributes towards the prayer day. Nonetheless, I have not been asked for my contribution. So, I do not know how Parliament contributes. Is it from the taxpayers' funds or from our funds? Nonetheless, it is a good thing to pray, as long as the taxpayer does not pay for the prayers. Otherwise, we shall be violating the Constitution on the establishment of religion. There should be no state religion, either in terms of all religions being state religions or one religion being a state religion. So, we should avoid to try to portray this country as a theocracy. We should give room to God in public spaces, however, as a private endeavor, not to be paid for by the taxpayer. I will not attend a prayer meeting unless I get an invoice saying you have to pay this much. This is because I know there is a lot of food being eaten there. I have not been invoiced for that. So, I will not participate in the stealing of public funds by the Members of Parliament. I thank you."
