I'll be praying for her. God's design for marriage is the best plan, and I am so proud of her for sticking up for what is right. The law is just that: law. It is made by people to follow their whims and has never been a compass for morality.

Jesus gave us the right model: "A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they shall become one flesh". Go God.

I agree.  The law is just that: law.  Yet she is no longer serving the law as she swore on the Bible to do. She did not take an oath to protect her own beliefs or serve God in her office, she swore to the state to uphold the law - and she is breaking that oath.


"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment."

Maybe she should follow that passage, since she likes to pick and choose.

"That's the difference between blind faith and wisdom. You don't stop honoring God just because a rule says that you need to be subject to governing authorities. That's silly."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Was she also honoring her god when she got married 4 times and procreated with someone who wasn't her husband?  Her religion has plenty to say about divorce and adultery (surprisingly very little about being gay), yet she feels she has the moral authority to limit someone else's constitutional rights.  "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Right?  

Was she honoring god when she broke the oathe that she made to faithfully uphold the constitution according to law?  An oath that she made to god (and likely with her hand on the bible).  

Why is honoring god only important to her when it comes to limiting gay rights?  


 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.  So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished."

Nowhere in the bible does it say that she shouldn't give gay people a marriage license, but it directly says that disobeying the law is akin to disobeying god. I don't remember any bible passages that say you can pick and choose which parts are important enough to follow.  Regardless, if her religious conscience prevents her from performing her job, then she needs to resign.  This holds true to ANY workplace.  She certainly shouldn't be making money off of people that she refuses to serve.
