Christians: What's bad about wool and linen blended together?

"Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together." -- Deuteronomy 22:11

Isn't this a bit silly?

Also, why does God not like transvestites? Any reason you know of? What are your thoughts?

"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God." -- Deuteronomy 22:5

Some people trace shatnes' origins to the story of Cain and Abel: Cain killed Abel after Abel offered sheep - the source of wool - as a sacrifice to God. Cain offered flax, the source of linen, Tomaszewki explained.

Because the mixture caused humanity's first murder, some posit, it is prohibited. But that's only a theory.

not so silly NOW, is it!

The reasoning for why god doesn't like transvestites is a bit more complex:
1) premarital sex is a sin
2) thus, we need a non-genitalia indicator of sex, or else
3) same genders may marry
4) and everyone knows nothing pisses off god more

Man, you are SLOW...you need to do more churchy things!
