Many of the headlines all around the world yesterday said basically the same thing, "Man can possibly go to jail for professing his atheism on line." Thanks Facebook. Well, the verdict is out now.

Alexander Aan, an Indonesian civil servant, has been sentenced to 2.5 years in jail and $10,598 in fines just because he asked a Muslim peep to prove that his God exists on Facebook. WTF. What the fuck. I'm so glad that I live here in the states, and even with our American problems (I halfta wait 10 minuets for my really awesome by international standards meal) and all, it still whomps all over living anywhere (and yes, I do live in Northern California, so that is even better.). What the hell did this guy do to deserve to go to frackin' jail and be fined.

He did what I do here everyday. He did the same thing that all my tweeps do everyday on Twitter. I hardly ever do Facebook, but Nu Athiesmo goes on there every fuckin' day and none of us are in jail (thank (nonexistent)Gawd).

They have some kinda vague blasphemy laws in Indonesia while at the same time have freedom of religion. If you think that is contradictory, then you forgot that we are dealing with religion here. Religion is not do as I do, it is, do as I say. The thing about Indonesia's constitutional freedom of religion is that it only protects those that practice a...religion. Team Atheist in Indonesia, don't fuckin' come out. Your constitution does not protect or speak to you and you'll go to jail...for no fuckin' real reason. WTF.

I know that I sound like a broken record many times but here it comes....This is why the battle for secular society is so important. A society where religion has a say in state matters and is elitist and exclusive is dookie. Secular society is for everyone. Man, Indonesian homies are so similar to me and my Filipino homies (just like Malaysia and Thailand) and I want to go there to check out my South East Asian brothers and sisters, but fuck-en-aye-man, not if I'm going to jail for being on the correct side of history, for being reasonable, for being open to any and all, for being on the....Mighty Team Atheist...and now it's Team Atheist International, yo.

There's a war going on folks, are you game.

I'am.
