I’m ******* Antichristian

I am a religious person and while I don’t always agree with the things artists do or say, I strongly believe that they should have the freedom to do them

Zgadzam się z petycją. Pragnę od bardzo dawna aby uregulowano tę kwestię i odłączono wiarę od państwa (od szkół i urzędów). Wiara niech zostanie w sferach duchowych i miejscach do tego wyznaczonych.

I’m signing because religious overreach has been tolerated for far too long. Artists should be able to express themselves however and any way they choose.

MAYBE someday Poland will emerge from the dark ages and be rid of ridiculous and antiquated laws like these pathetic laws surrounding politicians and religion. Best of luck Nergal!

freedom of expression is far more important and essential than any religious sentiment. all this religious tyranny harkens back to a time when you could be murdered for free expression. all freedom begins with free expression. attacks on free expression are attacks on the liberty of the individual and must be refused and resisted.

The church, and government should stay out of people’s personal beliefs. This is 2021, not 1721. I love Poland, but these types of rules are obscene and antiquated. Let Poland live in the now.

Religeon has no place in law. It is creating a miscarriage of justice many many times over.

Satan is equality.
Censorship is blasphemy.

The ability to express thoughts and criticize ideas and beliefs is fundamental to freedom and progress for mankind

I want my country to be separated from the church. Simple as that.

No religious faith should be superior in any sense. The state free from religion should be the law, not the exception.

Religious fringe elements have far too much power in the US. Poland is probably worse. This needs to stop.

Wolność wygłaszania idei i poglądów to niezbywalne i naturalne prawo każdego człowieka. Ateiści mają równe prawo do wygłaszania i pokazywania swoich opinii na tematy religijne, co osoby wierzące.

Fear of offending religious feelings chokes out artistic expression and creative freedom. The religion of one person should not restrict the freedom of another.

Fuck the system

(Kamloops, 2021-03-26)

#3516

The church and the religion has nothing to do with the State and the laws

(Capital Federal, 2021-03-26)

#3518

I'm signing because it is a waste of time and money to prosecute artists for their work, especially when they are clearly being used to divert attention away from the real problems that the church and governments are trying to sweep under the rug.

(Sydney, 2021-03-26)

#3519

I care deeply about freedom of expression and criticism.

I wish you the best of luck in your fight against archaic, religion driven policies.

Religions are the bane of society

(Morlupo, 2021-03-26)

#3522

I'm signing because a person's choices they in life should not be governed by religious beliefs.

(Los Angeles, 2021-03-26)

Christianity, despite it’s claims as a just and moral religion is nothing of the sort. Christianity has been refuted time and time again my science, logic, and reason but it refuses to die off or update its theology to modern knowledge. Any religion that uses a person willing to commit unquestioned human sacrifice as their symbol of faith should have no power over anyone who doesn’t believe their absurd abhorrent beliefs. Their beliefs and god should be put on trial for their transgressions against humanity.

I want progress, not ignorance and betrayal, questionable moral standards and impunity.

I don't believe in dogmatic beliefs/hierarchies that look to embalm the conscience mind, and or persecute those who don't follow their "God"

This is outrageous that the Dark Ages are still present in today's setting! You have artists & regular citizens being fined, arrested, & jailed over hurting religious feelings! Would you jail someone for hurting your feelings on Zeus? Thor? Odin? Amunet? Sobek? Ra? Kali? Shiva? NO! YOU WOULDN'T! Jesus doesn't exist & even if he did, he wouldn't care about people speaking their minds!
Remove this article immediately! You take the taxes these artists pay & the money they bring into Poland HAPPILY, yet you shun them when they voice their opinions?
You shun the artist but not the paedophile priests raping your children? GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

Obraza uczuć religijnych czyli "bluźnierstwo" (osoba A mówi/robi coś co wedle osoby siedzącej (B) obraza jej ideologie (religie) lub nie traktuje jej poważnie.

Brak szacunku i "obrażanie", ukazywanie prawdy o metodach działania i doktrynach religijnych jest obowiązkiem każdego obywatela i nie powinno być karane z urzędu.

(Kraków, 2021-03-27)

It is wrong to fine or imprison someone for speaking their mind or expressing themselves. People should be free to do so.

(Pierre, 2021-03-27)

Fuck Christianity!

(Ploiesti, 2021-03-27)

#3564

This is so important for the artists and for a free meaning

(Braunschweig, 2021-03-27)

#3572

I'm signing because Article 196 goes against my beliefs as a satanist. It is an exclusion of free thought and expression for those not religous.
