Former Navy chaplain: ‘Biologist’ Jesus opposed ‘three women and a dog’ marriage

Former Navy chaplain: ‘Biologist’ Jesus opposed ‘three women and a dog’ marriage

A disgraced former Navy chaplain explained on Monday that Jesus Christ was effectively a “biologist” because he knew that “three women and a dog” can’t make a baby.

In a Monday interview, Internet talk show host David Pakman asked conservative former Navy Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt if he acknowledged that there was a trend in the United States toward the legalization of LGBT rights, decriminalization of marijuana and support of reproductive rights for women.

Klingenschmitt explained that there was a “polarization” between some Americans becoming more liberal and some churches that were becoming more conservative.

“You only have 15 percent of the middle who are hypocrites, who think, Jesus is cool, but I don’t agree with how he defined marriage,” Klingenschmitt said. “When Jesus talks about one flesh, he’s really being a scientist, he’s being a biologist. Because he realizes and he’s articulating simple biology, that when a sperm and an egg form together, they match in a zygote and a new DNA is formed and it becomes one new human flesh.”

Was Moses a scholar of law? Or a sociologist?

had nothing to do with "religious conviction."

Why is anyone giving him the time of day?

And what's up with this loser's "I Love Me" wall? Who the hell puts white gloves in a shadow box? He looks like he ran around collecting patches from everyone he met and sticking them in shadow boxes--what a pathetic putz! Talk about trying to fluff up a paper thin resume!

Religion and the belief in invisible , omnipotent , magical beings are greatest threats faced by our species.

"...propagate the gay species..."

What is this "gay" species? Has somebody been keeping something from us?

I get a bit worried about people who obsess about odd rings of mating partners.

They seem to be trying to outdo each other, also. Yet, as they speculate and project, (what are they projecting?) I haven't heard anyone ask just how many of us want to participate in polygamous, zoophile marriages.

So, if you want attention you really need to promulgate new permutations these days:

Soon they want to marry: Six gay snakes, two turtle doves, four castrated elephants, a few beleaguered albinos, and one disgraced chaplain.

Insects are not getting fair representation. For instance, I want to marry the entire crop of 17-year cicadas due this Summer here. That's billions, BTW. You are all invited to my wedding, including anyone of the "gay species".
