Dumb Dennis

Three problems, of vaying degree, with milk + chicken eater Dennis Prager's latest drusha at Clown Hall

This helps to explain one of the least known and most enigmatic laws of the Torah, the ban on wearing linen and wool together in the same piece of clothing (sha'atnez). Linen represents plant life, and wool represents animal life. The two are distinct realms in God's creation.

And that is why the Torah bans men from wearing women's clothing.

No, moron. Men are banned from wearing women's clothing because of a verse (Duet 22:5) where the practice is specifically outlawed (unless you're a wig-wearing founding father, or a white-tight wearing Hasid, or course. In which case you're exempted.) The reason for the ban is the subject of speculation, but it's not derived from sha'atnez.

My second problem is with your method of argument. Who, Dennis, do you imagine will be convinced of anything via the citing of an obscure rule about fabrics? The Christians completely ignore it. Their own theology says that God changed his mind about sha'atnez. So is this law really the very best proof that God's word is eternal? Do you expect them to accept your conclusion (cross-dressing = wrong) if they laugh at your premise (linen + wool =wrong.)?

Finally, though I recognize your right as a fever-mad wingnut to accuse everyone who disagrees with you of destroying the social fabric, hating God, etc, you go a wee bit too far here:

The answer is that activists understand that their primary goal -- equating same-sex sexual behavior with man-woman sex -- can only be accomplished if other Judeo-Christian and Western sexual norms are also rejected.

That is why the very word "sex," when referring to male or female, has been changed to "gender." And society at large has accepted this linguistic change as if it were insignificant. The change on application forms, for example, from "Sex: M or F" to "Gender: M or F" has gone unnoticed. But it is a huge change. In the sexual activists' world, "sex" is fixed and objective; "gender" is fluid and subjective

Also, "sex" has multiple meanings. If I use the word "sex" I might mean that fun activity you've often heard about, or I might mean "the condition or character of being female or male." The word "gender" avoids this ambiguity.

But don't let this stop you from continuing to suggest that accuracy in diction is part of a liberal plot to destroy the world...
