WTH just let people wear what they want, as long as it is not too revealing.

as long as it is not too revealing

And how is banning "revealing" clothing any better than banning other other types of clothing that certain people might find offensive (e.g. headscarfs)? You won't get hurt by seeing some nipples either.

So you want to allow people walking around with e.g. bare buttcheeks?

Sure let's just ban religion. Ask the millions of people that died under Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and other leaders that banned religion. Or all of the people that died during the French Revolution. Yes I know that the Church had the Inquisition and the Crusades, during which millions died. The Bible is already considered "hate speech" in many countries. How long before being Christian, Muslim or whatever means you can't hold a job or buy a house?

Revelation 13:16-17 The Mark of the Beast

16And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the markβ€”the name of the beast or the number of its name.

In Italy I was a member of UAAR (The Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics) and we supported the legal costs of people battling against crucifixes in the workplace, compulsory prayers and even acoustic pollution caused by the church bells. This was in the late '90s to early '00s.

Wonder how they'll cope here in rural Austria.

That's how I know this law will absolutely be used to target specific religions unless the fundamentalist Christians take it too far.

Would be too funny to see Markus SΓΆder's face if this would actually happen. "DeClInE oF tHe OcCiDeNt" or something like that.

I mean he did argue that they aren't a religious symbol before. He later contradicted himself and said that they are but I would not be surprised if he made that stupid argument again.

Sounds fair to me, we need less religion everywhere.

What I don't get is the right wing pushing this and the left wing being against it, while the hero of the far left said 'Religion is the opium of the masses.'

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

The rest of the quote is: "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." Take from that what you will.

I also don't know that most people who identify as or are called left wing would call Marx their hero.
