Some of those gays appeared awfully happy to see a non-believer go to jail - she never stopped any from obtaining a marriage license from a gay-tolerant clerk in another county.
She refuses to endorse ss marriages.The Bible teaches that homosexual (ss) conduct is bad and also teaches to hate what is bad.
It was posted earlier that she ran for public office knowing that laws can change, it was also posted that she agreed to do her job when such changes happened which is part of her job.
But does that mean that everyone that runs for public office or accepts a position of public official should do so knowing that they will be expected to violate their religion? -Maybe someday?
I think that she is not doing her job. I also think that she should do the job that she was elected to do.
But I do not think that she should have to endorse ss marriage licenses if it violates her beliefs.
The catch-all seems to be for the Court to order her to do her job and then remand her for willful disobedience -which in this case should be civil and not criminal. But the lower Court did not jail her when she did not do her job for religious reasons, instead they ordered her to do it and then they detained her for contempt.
When the Bible says to hate what is bad it means to hate doing what is bad. It does not mean to prevent others from doing what you view is bad. Hating what is bad is not the same as personal hate towards others which in action is demeaning and disrespecting others verbally, or physically by using any means to stop the person from enjoying what you do not want them to do or harm such person directly or indirectly, like some religions did to get at JW. In Davis case, homosexuals want to force her to endorse ss licenses instead of going to another county.
Homosexuality is the American way now, it is the law, like it or not. You cannot un-ring the bell and change the ss marriage laws. Even if some other President is elected, I do no think that he can change the ss law, besides, it was posted how many countries have legalized ss marriages, so it is not as if the US is doing something unheard of, practically the whole world is doing it, so it was just a matter of time before it became legal in the US. I do not blame Obama. It was going to happen sooner or later. I think that US Presidents are figure heads. They have some flexibility, but I think that there are other powers dictating policy.
The issue in Davis case is not her motive, she has a good reason that applies to others that may be required to violate their beliefs. It is easy for the Court to tell her to quit, but why should she quit. It is hard to find a job, and then if she is forced to quit, why not everybody else that requires special accommodations so that they can practice their religion at work. It is an inconvenience and burden for those that do not share those beliefs.
Homos do not want to be discriminated against. It is the law and they do not want to hear religious excuses from public officials (and neither does anybody else). Do your job. If your religion prevents you from doing your job, quit. Stop inconveniencing people and stop wasting everybody's time practicing your religion at your job.
