Jesus said "give to Caesar what is Caesar's." Religion and Government don't go together. Religion doesn't approve same-sex marriage? That's great! No one is forcing Religion to accept that. However, civil same-sex marriage is Government stuff. If your religious beliefs don't allow you to accept that, just resign.

At first glance I read this as "Clark Kent Denies Same-Sex Marriage Licenses" and though about his previous bouts of Super Dickery. On topic, if this clerk is failing to uphold the law she shouldn't be allowed to work for the government, simple as that. Also, if it is true that she has been divorced four times then she is a disgusting hypocrite.

I would enjoy a parody video where she goes to get married for a fifth time and is denied a marriage liscence.  Then when she asks on what authority... the clerk (preferably a flammer) simply says, 'on God's authority'!

We are not a theocracy, if you have an issue with a law being at odds with your religion working in government may not be for you.

I am trying to figure out how I can use a 'religious belief' to make my hours shorter at work!  LOL.  I would be fired if I simply refused to do my job. 


Not in Australia and you're Aboriginal.

someone should remind her she's a women and god hates her for that...

Sounds like her position needs to be terminated then.

How is this even legally allowed?


It isn't.  Its illeagal.  And she is in contempt of court.  But she refuses to examine the requirements of people seeking a marriage liscense  (her actual job) in her state because her religious beliefs allow her (according to herself) to  ignore the law and directly impact other people negatively as a public servent. 

Then shouldn't her boss have fired her immedately and issued the licenses him/herself? I know I would have.

Can't wait until she's in hand cuffs.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

The second someone can't do their job because of their religious believes they should be removed from their position, and if they do something illegal and harm others with it they should be prosecuted, like this woman.
This also leads me to the the following question: how the fuck is it even possible that people like this woman can get in such position? THAT should be illegal by itself.
