We are dealing with a direct attack on the family and children – the sexualization of children, that entire LBGT movement, gender, Dem gay terrorists at it again trying to crash planes into honest God-fearing families while their trans buddies are converting children to prostitution and Islam smh
hello freedom of speech? yes that's alright do whatever wait it's "offending" people of religion? that's a crime!
Offending religious feeling is a crime under the Polish penal code. I never thought I'd see "hurting someone's feelings" be against the law. This is peak snowflake.
I want to see this poster everywhere.
I guarantee that law will be struck down the absolute second a non Catholic tries to claim protection under it.
up to two years in prison for painting rainbows? that is outrageous.
But remember, The Libs are the true enemy.
Blasphemy codified as law is still around in Europe, but on West Europe they are forgotten or even abolished. Spain sadly is not one of these places and each day there are more people sued due "hurting religious feelings".
Does Germany still have a state religion like the UK?
No, but we also don't necessarily have formal separation of church and state as much as certain other countries. We've been getting better at not granting religious exemptions on employee protection laws and the like, though. (The catholic church was infamously able to fire people for remarrying, which is a problem when they run otherwise secular places like hospitals.)
Yeah that's what I figured. Oddly enough despite Germany theoretically having less separation of church and state than the US, in practice it seems that Germans are more willing to keep their religious sides in line with the law and democracy, rather than the US where religious organizations openly and often successfully campaign against human rights.
Mostly, yeah. There's still a bunch of blatantly religiously motivated laws on the books. We actually have an issue where doctors aren't allowed to properly inform women about abortions. Until recently, it was outright illegal for them to even mention the topic iinm. They're now allowed to direct them to a responsible resource, at least, instead of letting them run into various organisations that try to inflict as much psychological trauma over it as possible.
