I don't think anyone is really surprised here.

I believe in religious liberty, but this is a civil job she has, and the law is the law, and she should either have issued the licenses or left her post. Some will disagree with me, but this woman is out for fame and money, IMO.

 

[chrysostom]

are you okay with your name on the license for a same sex marriage?

answer that question you gutless wonders

I'm afraid, on the contrary, that it will backfire. I just don't think she's the best example for this kind of thing......

Stop being nasty. I would have left my post.

answer the question

do you even know what it is?

Stop with the nasty mouth. You can be so nice, saying "peace" and all, and as soon as one disagrees (and I have valid reasons on this point) you start right in with the meanness. :nono:

answer the question

The answer to your question would be "no", so I would quit. But these are CIVIL procedures she is paid to do.

She doesn't have to have her name on the license, she didn't have to go to jail. Vacating her position would have avoided both.

Someone else can take the position who will allow the legal granting of marriage licenses to go forward.

her name is printed on the license

do you understand that?

 

[GFR7]

OK. I do see why she would be a martyr in that case. But why didn't she leave?

I guess I was turned off by hearing she was married four times. And that she is planning a book.

I need a better martyr, and then you will hear me cheering.
Now be nice, good ol' Chryso

She is a civil servant. It is her job to issue marriage licenses. It is now federal law that same sex partners can be married. If she can't or won't do her job then she should have quit. It is that simple.

Exactly! :cheers:

no surprises here
but
the real test is what would a real christian do

who is willing to go to jail over this?

 

[annabenedetti]

She didn't have to go to jail. She could have either done the job she was being paid $80,000 a year to do, or she could have stepped down.

And that would really be putting her money where her mouth is.

 

[chrysostom]

She didn't have to go to jail. .

she could have caved in like you have
