Kentucky clerk battle fuels debate over religious accommodation laws

Shep Smith went off on it yesterday.   FOX isn't falling in step with this ridiculous woman.  She can't suck enough d**ks, she can't cheat on her own marriage enough - but wants to tell others how to live.

If a god exists I'm certain it wouldn't give one iota about Kim Davis or any glory from that debacle she has created

Sounds as though God's glory is more rewarding for the couples getting married than it is for Kim Davis.

example of giving religion a bad name.

Think maybe religion gives religion a bad name.

Yep.. Westboro Baptist Church can show you scripture where they are doing what they are supposed to do... in fact, if you were to judge "christians" strictly by the bible, Westboro are following the bible much more closely than the average citizen who's only demonstration that they are Christian is the attendance of church and a bumper sticker

Even though it's a mess, it has spurred a healthy discussion about this entire subject.  More problems are coming.  We saw a glimpse in Texas several months back when they were going after preachers trying to subpoena sermons that talked negatively about homosexuality.  That might be the next frontier, where they start attacking religious groups.

Those Democrats can cite a verse or two out of context, but they are nuts.  Amazing how a literal handful of people can repeatedly make national headlines.

Agreed 100%.














Kim Davis a Democrat.

What does their political party have to do with them going to church or being a Christian and knowing the Bible?

Seems to me that when the country is 70% Christian leaning that 70% (no matter their political affiliation) should be able to recite some scripture.

It's not like the Bible is full of mysterious text that no one else can read.

It's a translation of a translation of a translation of texts that were put to parchment 100 years at a minimum behind the people who were supposedly stating it.

Certainly anyone can read it and their meaning be just as valid as anyone else's.

Are you saying only the translations or context that you agree with are accurate?

People often mistakenly refer to the Westboro nuts as conservative.  That's the reason I mentioned they are Democrats. 

And yes I disagree with their interpretation of the Bible and Christianity that purportedly condones the hateful and disgusting things they do.

I'm not specifically speaking of the WBBC, but what you are saying can apply to any christian group.

Many people feel that what Mrs. Davis did is hateful and disgusting. No difference.

Also, how do you know that they are ALL Democrats?

Indeed. Just like Muslims, they follow the literal Word. And after all, who are we to revise His Law (all 613 commandments) for modern society?

Like God needs an interpreter.

I was specifically referring to the Westboro nuts.  

Yes, there are people who believe anyone who believes in traditional marriage is a bigot, hateful, etc.  I don't agree with them.

Their founder and leader is a Democrat.

How does their founder equate to all of the people of the church? The leader of the US is a Democrat, but that doesn't make you or myself one.

Yes, it's possible the leader of their family is a Democrat and the rest are Republicans.  I doubt it, but anything is possible. 

That said, comparing the president of a country with 300 million people to a cult/klan of about 40 people is pretty silly.

Defining any political leanings of a group based upon one person is much more silly.

lol.  Ok.  Whatever.  This isn't just a group.

Seems like a group to me.

That's because you're trying to argue about stupid stuff.  lol  This isn't just a collection of people.  It's largely one family that is more like a cult than anything else.

All religions are cults.  That is the only way they can exist.

I'm not... I'm showing you how defining a group based on one person is silly.

Did you or did you not just do that?

I think the Westborough BC ceased all party affiliation during the period Gore first ran for president.

If you say so.
