Govt. workers have right to refuse gay marriage licenses: Pope

[FollowChrist34]

This is a bigger issue than Kim Davis. There are other Kentucky clerks refusing to same-sex marriage licenses: nbcnews.com/news/us-news/why-arent-other-defiant-kentucky-clerks-joining-kim-davis-jail-n423496

There are Judges refusing same-sex marriages, such as:

This is the key point. Shame on our leaders from the SCOTUS on down to the governor of Kentucky and every other state. Of course this was going to happen. The government serves the interests of ALL its citizens. To me, this is just another example of polarization and politicization of this issue really hurting this country. Just figure it out. Don’t start a civil culture war.

According to the following, her name was taken off and it says “pursuant to court order” and “Kentucky state law requires that “every license blank shall contain the identical words and figures.” But Beshear noted that the federal judge overseeing Davis’ case has not raised any objections to the licenses.”

If she has altered it any more than that, that raises questions, if that was done why did she do it?

The judge has not yet raised objections to the changes. Has the judge had the opportunity to do so? When is the next hearing?

Of the two other Kentucky clerks named in that article, one says that no gay couple has yet asked for a license. Not quite the same thing as the clerk refusing to issue one.
And* of course *this is a bigger issue than Kim Davis. That says nothing about the rights or wrongs of her actions.

In any case my disagreement with her actions is not that she objects to gay marriage. I object to gay marriage. My problem with her is that she wants to have it both ways. She wants to be a martyr without enduring martyrdom.

I’m not sure I follow your statement. Do you mean that you hold the Supreme Court to blame for the political fallout resulting from their legal decision?

So its your opinion, when christians are faced with moral choices, (when a law of man conflicts with Gods law), they should just give up and quit?

No. It is not my opinion that a Christian faced with moral choices should surrender.

I think you are conflating the idea of resigning from a job with the idea of surrendering in a moral struggle. The word “quit” can be applied to both but to “quit” one’s job (to resign) is not the same as to “quit” (give up/surrender) when faced with a moral issue.
