Douglas Adams - Australia He was a great story writer, who could always make the most trivial things, hilarious. As you can see here in Douglas Adams' depiction of Australia Australia is a very confusing place, taking up a large amount of the Bottom half of the planet. It is recognisable from orbit because of many unusual features, including what at first looks like an enormous bite taken out of its southern edge; a wall of sheer cliffs which plunge deep into the girting sea. The first of the confusing things about Australia is the status of the place. The last confusing thing about Australia is the inhabitants. As a result of all this hardship, dirt, thirst, and wombats, you would expect Australians to be a dour lot. Typical Australian sayings: * "G'Day!" Tips to Surviving Australia: * Don't ever put your hand down a hole for any reason whatsoever. Douglas Adams was the writer of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Bible condemns a lot, so why focus on homosexuality? Editor's Note: Jonathan Dudley is the author of Broken Words: The Abuse of Science and Faith in American Politics. By Jonathan Dudley, Special to CNN Growing up in the evangelical community, I learned the Bible’s stance on homosexuality is clear-cut. God condemns it, I was taught, and those who disagree just haven’t read their Bibles closely enough. Having recently graduated from Yale Divinity School, I can say that my childhood community’s approach to gay rights—though well intentioned—is riddled with self-serving double standards. I don’t doubt that the one New Testament author who wrote on the subject of male-male intercourse thought it a sin. Problem is, Paul’s only other moral argument from nature is the following: “Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair, it is degrading to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory?” Few Christians would answer that question with a “yes.” How does that sit with “family values” activism today? Indeed it is.
