Loin, I'm going to have to ask you to leave such absurd speculation out of this, and stick to verifiable facts. Like that time Kim Davis tried to stage an insurrection from a BBQ restaurant.

Jon Miller is also like Hitler, in that they are both men

Anyone who becomes one believes in the law, as it is at the time they start. When you change the law so that enforcing it causes those people to violate their own religious believes they will not enforce the law. Otherwise, they have no religious principles, which is often the case.Originally posted by Kidicious View PostI can always depend on you

A law changing so it conflicts with a large portion of the population's religious beliefs = still a law.Originally posted by Kidicious View PostThere's a big difference between a law changing that doesn't conflict with a large portion of the populations religious beliefs and one changing that doesn't. Really this case is all about what's wrong with this country in not understanding that.
Fun fact: 6 out of 9 members of the Supreme Court are Roman Catholic. Two of those justices (Kennedy, Sotomayor) understood that their legal opinion in interpreting the law is different from their personal beliefs.

Who said it's ok to break the law to do wrong? No one. Except you? And Hitler.Originally posted by loinburger View Post"It is okay for somebody to break a law that I don't like"

She is a bigot because she refuses to consider contrary evidence and simply restates her original, discredited thesis. That's the very definition of a bigot.Originally posted by Kidicious View PostShe claims that she has a right to be a bigot? I must have missed that.
I think you are misrepresenting her. She just doesn't think she should have to approve of gay marriage. She says it would harm her state if she resigned. I don't know if that's true or not. I don't have an opinion on it either.
I kind of think she should have resigned too. However, I don't equate her with Hitler for not resigning. In fact I won't agree with you that she's a bigot. You don't understand my religion.
She has to either do her job, or resign. She can't simply collect a massive paycheck and refuse to do the work involved - at least, not without showing she has no ethical standards at all. The state manifestly will be helped, not hurt, by her resignation. At a minimum, it will be $80,000 the richer.The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty…we will be remembered in spite of ourselves… The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation… We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

No one is concerned over "an individuals decision not to approve of gay marriage." people are concerned that that individual wants to use the power of government to ram her personal religious convictions down the throat of the people she nominally works for.Originally posted by Kidicious View PostWhy is secular humanism so concerned about an individuals decision not to approve of gay marriage?The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present.
