A Navy chaplain who turned to Internet evangelism after being court martialed said this week that a transgender girl should man up or face a spanking and an exorcism to rid her body of demons.
On the Wednesday broadcast of his Pray in Jesus Name show, Dr. Chaps Gordon Klingenschmitt expressed his outraged at a recent Maine Supreme Court ruling that said a transgender girl should be able to use the school bathroom that corresponded to her gender.
Little girls should not be exposed to little boy parts! Klingenschmitt explained. Talk about mental health problems. The mental health problem is in the child whos confused.
The Pray in Jesus Name host argued that since the transgender girl had an identical twin brother, that she couldnt possibly identify with another gender.
So for one of them to suddenly start dressing like a girl, its not just a choice, but its a demonic spirit, he opined. Its easy to say that one of those two boys is possessed by a demon.
And really what the parents ought to do is take that boy to an exorcist, take that boy to a minister. Or at least, discipline the boy. Maybe give him a spanking.
Klingenschmitt said that the parents should also dress the girl like a boy, and tell her, Too bad, son, youre a boy, you gotta man up.
In closing, he prayed that the demonic spirit to be defeated so that the Maine Supreme Court justices and all of society could see that the transgender girl was an abomination.
Watch the video below from Pray in Jesus Name, broadcast May 14, 2014.

He protested in uniform (which is one of the first things they tell you in the service - no wearing your uniform to political activities because it'll look like the government is taking sides...you can GO to those activities, but must wear civilian clothing when you do) in front of the Bush White House because Shrub hadn't signed an executive order allowing military chaplains to offer prayers In Jesus' Name. For this he got a general officer memorandum of reprimand and, eventually, was administratively separated for not being worth a fuck. Said the chief of the Bureau of Personnel to the Chief of Naval Operations in an e-mail before they chaptered his sorry ass out, "This officer is the individual who conducted a hunger strike in front of the White House several months ago and has engaged in other actions concerning [Defense Department] and Navy Religious Ministry policies."

In short, most people would rate him lower than the turds in the behind of any deceased animal.
