Daniel Fincke Anglican Archbishop Sydney Peter Jensen Asked To Explain How We Know Which Levitical Prohibitions Still Apply And Which Ones Do Not
October 11th, 2010 Daniel Fincke The very last line made me laugh out loud. Notice that this is not just any ignorant Christian being embarrassed here by a comedian, but an Archbishop. If that does not demonstrate the intellectual bankruptcy of Christianity (or at least of biblical literalists) in 3 minutes flat, I don’t know what does. Your Thoughts?

Happy Birthday To The Daily Dish
October 11th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Andrew Sullivan is celebrating his first ten years of blogging, which included helping to innovate the form way back in the year 2000. I’ve only been reading Andrew since Thanksgiving 2007 when his Atlantic article endorsing Obama blew my mind and sold me on Obama. By the fall of 2008, I was a Dish addict [...]
Blag Hag Comes Out (Sort Of)
October 11th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Sexual orientation can be a really fluid thing, far more than rigid classifiers allow us to categorize or conceptualize ourselves sometimes. Jennifer McCreight opens up about 10 years worth of varied romantic feelings and puzzlings and vacillates a good deal over labels. In the end, I take it she comes out more than anything as [...]

October 11th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Vile stuff: Transcript of the vileness: We must stop pandering to the pornographers and the perverts who seek to target our children and destroy their lives. I didn’t march in the gay parade this year, the Gay Pride parade this year. My opponent did. And that’s not the example we should be showing our children, [...]
Blaming The Victims Of Anti-Gay Violence
October 11th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Andrew Sullivan quotes Joseph Cardinal Ratzinberger’s 1986 “Letter On The Pastoral Care Of Homosexual Persons”: The proper reaction to crimes committed against homosexual persons should not be to claim that the homosexual condition is not disordered. When such a claim is made and when homosexual activity is consequently condoned, or when civil legislation is introduced [...]
Happy National Coming Out Day 2010!
October 11th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Today is National Coming Out Day, a day for gays to come out of the closet and so just as we did last year, here at Camels With Hammers we will be supporting gays and lesbians the world wide by featuring mostly content related to gay issues. People ask me often why I write so [...]
Zach Harrington
October 10th, 2010 Daniel Fincke Yet another heart rending story of a gay teen driven to suicide by the abusively anti-gay world in which he lived. In Zach’s case, it seems to have been in response to a city council meeting on whether to make October GLBT month. The council voted 7-1 in favor of the motion, but the three [...]

October 10th, 2010 Daniel Fincke One of the implications of tracing “out of body experiences” and “going into the light” experiences to their neurological causes is the clarification that the sorts of amazing experiences long called “spiritual” and “transcendent” are deeply animal, and as such, likely shared with other animals: out-of-body experiences in humans are likely caused by the brain’s [...]
Judge This: Surrogate Refuses To Abort Baby At Parents’ Request
October 10th, 2010 Daniel Fincke A moral and legal dilemma: When a B.C. couple discovered that the fetus their surrogate mother was carrying was likely to be born with Down syndrome, they wanted an abortion. The surrogate, however, was determined to take the pregnancy to term, sparking a disagreement that has raised thorny questions about the increasingly common arrangements. Get [...]
Duck Or Rabbit?
October 10th, 2010 Daniel Fincke The classically ambiguous drawing meant to illustrate the role that gestalt perception plays in dictating how we interpret the particulars of what we see in things gets recreated in taxidermical form. Via Boing Boing, who have the Joseph Jastrow drawing upon which it is based, for purposes of comparison. Your Thoughts?
