Indonesia sucks big time. It imprisoned Alexander Aan for saying god doesn’t exist. Now Mirza Alfath is arrested for criticizing Sharia laws on Facebook.
Atheists are harassed, imprisoned, arrested, tortured, murdered. But they are becoming more and more outspoken. It is a good sign.
Humans lost their penile spines during millions of years of evolution.
People believed ‘humans evolved smooth penises as a result of adopting a more monogamous reproductive strategy than their early human ancestors.
