Dancing, making jokes or satire publicly, is illegal next week Friday in Germany.

This is not a joke. Whenever I talk about this publicly people think it's a joke. This concept is so foreign to some people.

My favorite TV shows can't air because it's illegal to make jokes that day.

What kinda Footlose sh*t is this??

Wow. First of all, how the hell do people remember that it is Good Friday? Especially when Easter changes dates every year?

I would end up arrested because I'm clueless even when it comes to secular holidays. So I'm never going to remember any religious ones!

I might happen to read about it in the news but then an hour later it would be completely forgotten.

@konrad Catholicism is much more centralized. With protestants, every priest essentially is their own pope, catholics have one pope who is the final and highest authority on theology.

You will not find a catholic priest who doubts that easter, is the most important solemnity. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solemnit…: "The solemnities of Nativity of the Lord, the Epiphany, the Ascension, and Pentecost are outranked only by the Paschal Triduum."

@konrad Anyways, with me learning about the scientific method, I broke away from religion. The claim that there is an almighty being whose existence can't be proven or disproven doesn't even fulfill the criteria needed to be called a thesis and is therefore not even worth discussing. I'd rather be a good person without those rites.

but why?

I guess there's a public holiday, somber and religious in nature called, Good Friday.

I read there's also another public holiday in Germany that has similar restrictions; I think it's in October or November, something about mourning the dead.

How much modern Germany is a religious country I have no idea. But one thing for sure, the very strict separation between church and state that exists in France, is not happening there.

@Andy H3 @Michael Vogel @Erik Uden πŸ¦£πŸ‘:coffefied: That was the silver lining of the divine right of kings, once we beheaded the latter, it may also have ended the former.

In practice it took longer than that to formally declare the separation of Church and State (1905 in France) but there might have been a "where's your God now?" moment during the French Revolution.
