Remember Roy Moore? The former judge who ran for an Alabama Senate seat and lost because of all the evidence that he liked underage girls? Right…him. He was at a Republican breakfast gathering and he was explaining why he was against transgender military service. Of course, he had a real-life example…
Do you know what transgender is? That's not biblical. If that's biblical, God created man and woman. And when men want to be women? I was watching M*A*S*H the other day — talking about Korea, Vietnam. I was watching M*A*S*H, talking about what's his name — Klinger? He wanted to get out of the Army, because they didn't accept transgender. Now, I guess he would get a promotion.
I don't know how anyone could watch M*A*S*H and not understand that Klinger was 100% straight. He wanted to get out of the Army because he didn't want to get killed in combat. In the Korean War, if he'd started talking about transgender, they probably would have booted him out. But that was the premise of the character, that was the joke: A totally straight guy putting on a dress, trying to convince someone he was looney and nobody believed there was anything queer about him. Roy Moore didn't get it.
That's the trouble with so many people who claim we have to live our lives according to The Bible. They don't understand the Bible or care to understand the Bible. Whatever they want to believe is in it, they say is in it…and if you argue with them, their comeback is that you're arguing with God. They have to try that because they can't defend their views any other way.
If Ray Moore can't understand a sitcom, he sure can't understand The Bible.
