I am actually stunned to be in agreement with you... since historically that isn't usually the case..
.
In short, that is exactly what this looks like. A records clerk is refusing to perform her records duty as required by the state and being REALLY SANCTIMONIOUS... and the leftist are calling her on it.... <shrug>

I am not going to argue whether Same sex marriage should be allowed. That is an Emperor has no clothes on issue, not even a debatable point in God's view.
The point YOU made about a Gov official blindly following the law is the troubling view I'd like to address. There were thousands of Nazi-CIVILIAN and military clerks that did the paperwork to 1st put Jews in concentration camps, then BY LAW OF THEIR GOVERNMENT, send them to the gas chambers. If they had taken a stand at the beginning maybe things would have been different.
Please address the point without some witty theory that a person loses the debate the moment he mentions the nazis. Thanks

"appropriate government paperwork"? The left is just famous for these euphemisms.
Since when is marriage between same sexes appropriate? Even sex with the same sex doesn't happen in nature. Leave it to politically corrected and twisted human beings come up with that one.
I guess abortion is appropriate as well because it's governmentally sanctioned. All Christians bow down to "appropriate government paperwork".

No one is forcing to go out and buy rainbow cakes and decorations for gay marriages. All people want her to do is HER JOB a sign whatever she needs to sign. Gay marriage is legal in the united states whether its sanctioned by God or not. She work for the same government that legalized it. Now Im for her hating the idea of gay marriage thats fine. But do your job.
The whole fact that she is being rather self-righteous about the whole thing when she is a shining example of failed marriages and cheating just further makes this into a joke.

Whether or not same-sex marriage should be allowed is not the point. We live in a country where it has been legalized. If you don't want to follow the law then get a new job. And comparing two people of the same sex to the holocaust is like apples and oranges. In the first example, you might be grossed out by the way they make love and it offends your religious sensibilities.. In the second youre discussing the systemic slaughter of the jewish people.

FYI, that's the most important aspect. And like Nautilus, you seem to be unable to forgive divorce, but are willing to condone same-sex marriage. That's interesting, in and of itself.
The tone of your post seems to be that we, too, are hypocrites, or that we at least "overlook" biblical passages and glom onto others. What about your own hypocrisy in condemning a Christian woman who stands up for what God says about the constituents of a marriage, while being willing to overlook the fact that Jesus said that, for adultery, divorce is allowable, and at any rate, all sin is forgivable in the believer?
And yes, before you ask, that forgiveness is available to homosexual behaviors as well, as long as they acknowledge, as much the fornicator, adulterer, liar, thief, or murderer that their sins are just that -- sins.

Actually Vili, You seem to have a reading comprehension problem and while you are FALSELY PRESUMING I sanction same sex marriage... I will STAND FIRMLY in position regarding both my opinion of the scenario presented AND my biblically grounded belief. IF you want to assert yourself as standing IN PLACE OF this Davis woman... then I guess you would be the SAME kind of hypocrite she is. SO I assert you are WRONGLY looking down your nose and JUDGING ME for making the distinction between her "faith claims" and the separate "same sex marriage" issue.... which was based on HER OWN WORDS... not some vague media interpretation of the entire matter.
I honestly don't really care about either. But I think she is a bleeding hypocrite to go around saying one is a sin she cant abide meanwhile she is having babies with one man, while married to another, then getting a third to adopt them. Like seriously woman, worry about your own plank.
Not to mention at no point does it mention her husband were the ones cheating. All evidence points to her infidelity, and being the cheater isnt a get out of divorce free card.

And whether or not I sanction gay marriage it doesnt matter. The fact is it's legal now, and surprisingly it hasnt killed anyone yet. Now someone will inevitably bring up the bakeries that got sued, which even 'leaders' of the gay right movements, likened the Plantiffs/Suers to Nazis and defended the bakers. So a few extreme cases don't prove anything valid. I mean "oh no their mortal souls are in danger of hell!" So what? this is america, they have heard about homosexuality being a sin their whole life along with the basis of christianity, we live in a country that pretty much makes that abundantly clear. They have chosen to ignore it, no skin off my back, they are adults that have made their decisions. Let them enjoy it in peace I say.

I once had a debate about divorce here some time ago, and I was standing on the grounds that the bible says not to divorce, and I had people telling me I was wrong, but they only argued using how they felt about it.
Please, please, please provide scripture when talking about Gods word, otherwise the conversation will go nowhere
Thanks, that helps me a ton :3
