It is true, it is illegal to deny an event of history. Makes you wonder why someone would have to make it illegal to deny a historical event. Any time a government makes something illegal to deny, makes me take a step back and wonder what is being hidden. Not saying it did not happen, but why then the need for the laws?

In some countries denying the known fact of the holocaust can land you in jail.
But then, there are mountains of evidence for the Holocaust, from the people who were the survivors, the guards and the liberators, from the plans for the camps and the remaining buildings, from the meeting memos where it was planned, from all the photographs taken.
You deny the existence of god. Do you believe that Odin exists? What about Osiris, Zeus or Quetzalcoatl? Or do you deny they exist?
What hard evidence do you have that your god is correct over these others, or the hundreds of gods that man has created?

I believe that Holocaust denial may be a criminal offence in Germany, yes. As for denying the existence of gods, well that's just common sense.

*blink* No, but denying the holocaust would be the height of stupidity. Yes, you can deny the existance of god. Its called "freedom".

In Germany and France mainly. But Europe is secular and its citizens would never tolerate anyone trying to force religion on them.

first of all, it's "existence"
and yes, that's true.
I'm not sure why they choose to define free speech that way, but they do.
