[TheRealThing]

So everyone thinks it's ok to be in public office, a government job and run it by that persons religious beliefs? So I'm sure you would also be the same way if a non-believer or a Muslim did the same thing and ran it with their personal beliefs. I highly doubt it but let's continue. First I am against same sex marriage, but this whole thing stinks, she's not smart enough to realize the legal council is just using her to further their own agenda, all of her supporters and followers are not smart enough to realize she is just cashing in at the expense of religion and Christians. Read today she is looking at a book deal, next thing you know she will be taking money to be on talk shows..

Here is my other question, If by her own beliefs it is a sin for her to sign a marriage license for a gay couple, why would it not be a sin to sign a license for someone that has committed adultery and now wanting to get married again without being forgiven first for the adultery? I'm sure I'm going to hear the standard answer of well she didn't know about that, or don't ask don't tell, but the gay couple is obvious, but I'm always interested to hear the next excuse as to why it's ok. Sorry, but her personal beliefs are just that, and shouldn't play a part of the county clerks office, like I said, let's put a muslim, or non believer in there and let them run it by their beliefs and see what happens. I'm not bashing her or anyone, I'm bashing the fact that she has disobeyed a judges ruling, and when she is fined how many of you supporters will be there with your checkbooks open willing to pay it for her? I'm guessing not very many.

Okay then luke, in all due respect, maybe you can answer the question Kim Davis is asking?
‘Under what law am I authorized to issue homosexual couples a marriage license?’ Obviously I don't have the legal connections that Mike Huckabee has but, the argument seems worthy of an answer if you ask me. And, if there is a law which authorizes her to issue homosexuals a marriage license why doesn't some big time liberal dig it up for her?

But, I am happy to see that you understand the basic problem in all of this. And, I would answer your question as follows; The laws of man ought not ever challenge, or by reason of disagreement, change or alter God's law. That's the real rub. The institution of marriage was given to man in the Garden of Eden, as God Himself defined the union of man and woman thousands of years ago. And as Kim Davis has in the last four years, become quite aware and has become therefore, understandably concerned about her own behavior in all of this, it's worth questioning.
Genesis 2:24 (KJV)
24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."

Man has always had God's leave to go about his own business in complete contradiction to His established Word without intervention. That is to say in times past, if somebody walked the homosexual lifestyle, he could do so even though he may have been looked down on by those who knew about it. What is different in this day is that man expects the court to sanction his rebellion, it makes him feel better I suppose. But more than that, you can bet the PC police will be rounding up anyone who openly disparages a homosexual before it's all over. That (their acceptance by society) will give them the only absolution that they will ever see however, because all men will face God at the Judgment at the appointed time. And then there is this, just because the SCOTUS or the Podunk court of KY makes a ruling or proclamation being in clear and direct contravention to the long established law of God, doesn't mean the majority will ever truly accept it. A Lemmings whole existence is summed up in following the Lemming ahead of him. Those who prefer to think for themselves have a bit of a problem with that kind of thing.

You're fighting an uphill battle against some true believers on here who think this country was actually founded on Christian principles. Good luck. Hope Kim has a good time in jail. I'm sure she'll have a gofundme account (probably set up by someone on here) that pays for all this and then some.

Perhaps if you were to actually spend some quality time with the founding documents you would see the reality of the matter. And it's got nothing to do with true believers. Any college history student is familiar with the tyranny of Mad King George and the misery he exacted upon his subjects through the Church of England. And, any high school history student is familiar with the story about our forefathers fleeing England so as to escape religious persecution there in England.

The facts of history are clearly set forth in the writings of the time. In the eyes then of any reasonably objective investigator, the fact that this nation was founded on Christian principles is inescapable. Maybe not the DNC, but the annals of history and the library of Congress is chocked full of this stuff.


AFTR, I for one will be happy to open my checkbook!
