Kentucky clerk who refused gay couples taken into federal custody; ordered jailed

[kmoney]

This has probably been mentioned before but I just read that the judge actually gave a compromise to Davis which said she could continue not issuing licenses and avoid jail if she only said she wouldn't interfere in her deputy clerks from doing it. She refused. That makes her even less of a victim in my eyes. If her objection is that issuing licenses is a violation of her beliefs, what's her objection with the deputy clerks doing it? Does she think it's still attached to her in some way because it's still her office doing it? :idunno:

[kmoney]

her name is on the license

do you get it now?

No. What does that mean? Does God think she approves because her name is there?

are you okay with same sex marriage?

 

[TracerBullet]

Skin color and the choice of having sex or not (behavior) isnt the same or even comparable.

no one is comparing the choice to have sex to anything

 

[TracerBullet]

Right, the colored drinking fountain is just a few steps away, what's the big deal?

BINGO

 

[bybee]

are you okay with same sex marriage?

Are you okay with freedom of choice as guaranteed under our Constitution?

 

[TracerBullet]

her name is on the license

do you get it now?

someone's name is on all 4 of her marriage licences. So what?

Of course this situation is not about her marital status either, is it?
I've noticed that snide is one of your favorite rhetorical choices....

and I've noticed that passive aggressive sniping is one of your favorite rhetorical choices.


Do you know the name of the clerk on your marriage licence? I have no idea whose name is on mine, I've never thought about it, mostly because it doesn't matter.


As for Davis' marital status, she invited that sort of scrutiny when she started discriminating and using her religion as an excuse for her actions. She started lobbing stones forgetting that she lives in a glass house.

I wouldn't exactly call my style "Passive/aggressive". I'd call it aggressive!
I must be slipping!
We all live in glass houses.

yes but not our supreme courts interpretation of it
so
what is your point here?
and
you never answered the question

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

"...'Martin Luther King Jr. said, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.'"

Injustice is not putting Sodomites ([Ex 20:14] heterosexual [Lev. 20:10–12]/homosexual [Lev. 20:10,13]) to death (Nu 35:31, Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10).

We are not bound by the OT laws. Indeed, as gentiles, we never were. Moreover, we are certainly not bound by the holiness provisions of the Law meant for the Levites.

 

[ok doser]

We are not bound by the OT laws.

So stealing, adultery, murder, lying - it's all good now?

 

[kiwimacahau]

So stealing, adultery, murder - no worries?

Did you miss Jesus statements on the greatest commands?

 

[bybee]

Did you miss Jesus statements on the greatest commands?

Love God, obey His Commandments?

 

[kiwimacahau]

Love God, obey His Commandments?

You shall love the Lord your God and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two hang all the Law and the Prophets.

 

[ok doser]

Did you miss Jesus statements on the greatest commands?

I must have missed the part about welcoming perverts and accepting their perversions as "normal"

Can you show me where He said that?

 

[bybee]

You shall love the Lord your God and you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two hang all the Law and the Prophets.

"Man shall not lie with man as with woman. It is an abomination before the Lord...."
