Love Patton Oswalt. Here’s the YouTube video that includes the above clip on gay marriage as well as his thoughts on the Flying Spaghetti Monster theory. Looking forward to seeing the DVD in its entirety.
I saw him do the gay tv friend at a comic convention in Chicago. He is great.
Actually it reminds me that now there is a show Happy Endings with a gay friend who is totally not stereotypical, unless you think of him as a stereotypical “straight fratboy d-bag” which is how he acts. Funny I don’t know any gay people anywhere that act like that. Though I have a self-selecting sample since I couldn’t stand someone who did.
Dan Fincke has his PhD in philosophy from Fordham University and is an adjunct assistant philosophy professor at both Hofstra University and Hunter College (CUNY). Last school year ('11-'12) he also taught courses, as an adjunct, at Fordham, Fairfield, William Paterson, and St. John's. Hear him overview his ideas about the blog's main topics (ethics, religion, atheism, and the atheist movement) in this definitive half hour interview. You can also watch him introduce some of Nietzsche's ideas in a ten minute video. Dan was a devout evangelical Christian until he grappled with The Portable Nietzsche while enrolled at one of America's most conservative Christian undergraduate institutions (Grove City College). He went on to write his dissertation on Nietzsche. Learn more about his deconversion and his views on how (and why) to have civil dialogue with religious people in his hour long interview with the Angry Atheist podcast. Also read his article Apostasy As A Religious Act (Or "Why A Camel Hammers The Idols Of Faith"), which explains why those who want to respect religious people and their experiences should stop trying to silence former believers for speaking out against their former religions. (This article also contains the key to understanding why this blog is named "Camels With Hammers".)
SUBSCRIBE TO CAMELS WITH HAMMERS. You may also friend Dan on Facebook (especially if you don't have many atheist friends on Facebook (or at all!). You should also +1 Dan on Google Plus, and/or follow him onTwitter. E-mail Dan at camelswithhammers at gmail . com. Among guest contributors the most frequent is Eric Steinhart, who is a metaphysician and philosopher of religion and Professor of Philosophy at William Paterson University. He is the author of many scholarly articles and three books.
That was good. Thanks Daniel.

Thanks! I’ve replaced the audio with the video in the original post.
