Kim Davis is no longer a hero... :(

[jonathan180iq]

Since Kim Davis has apparently turned her back on her faith-based mandate to deny same-sex marriage licenses by returning to work and "not interfering" with their issuance, shouldn't the Conservative politicians that supported her for being a martyr of Religious Freedom turn their backs on her for enabling sin in her community?

I mean, wouldn't that be the logical response, given the rhetoric of the Religious Liberty movement?

Her paycheck is more important than her faith, it would appear.

Her paycheck is more important than her faith, it would appear.

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

"Kim Davis is no longer a hero"??? I didn't realize she ever was a hero.

I certainly didn't think so. But many conservative candidates put her on a pedestal for demonstrating her "religious freedom".

To all the average Joe's out there, she was just a ultra-conservative nut job - but to many people within the Religious Liberty movement, she was a martyr for their cause and champion of her faith...

“Martin Luther King went to jail because he didn’t follow the law. There’s a long precedent in America from people saying, ‘You know the law has to change to accommodate what is the right thing to do, in their own moral judgment…I can tell you I’m very proud of the fact that she stood up for those convictions and she should stood up for what I believe.” - Rick Santorum

“I am tired of watching people being just harassed because they believe something of their faith and we cannot criminalize the Christian faith or any faith in this country and I pray that there will be remedies that do not involve putting someone in jail for their convictions... If somebody needs to go to jail, I am willing to go in her place, and I mean that” - Mike Huckabee

"I think it's absurd to put someone in jail for exercising their religious liberty." - Rand Paul

"Praise God Kim has been released!" - Ted Cruz

Kim Davis did nothing heroic and is nothing more than a garden variety attention seeker.

To me it is simple...she is a civil servant, do your job or get fired. If your beliefs conflict with your job, then look for a job elsewhere, don't make it some media circus with evangelical overtones. She was never a hero, sorry.

Apparently, the importance of her faith has substantially diminished in the last week.

I guess it's just me. But I still don't see anything here that raises her to the status of "hero".

I'd be worried if you did.

Since Kim Davis has apparently turned her back on her faith-based mandate to deny same-sex marriage licenses by returning to work and "not interfering" with their issuance, shouldn't the Conservative politicians that supported her for being a martyr of Religious Freedom turn their backs on her for enabling sin in her community?

I mean, wouldn't that be the logical response, given the rhetoric of the Religious Liberty movement?

She is an example of just how high you can stack bull****.......

Norman: Hi jonathan180iq, do you have any convictions that you are willing to stand up for at your own expense and not at the expense of others? Good for you Kim, one step at a time!!!! Let the revolution continue to stand up for "Religious Freedom."

Norman: Hi Rusha, what are you willing to do to stand up for your convictions?

Norman: Hi jonathan180iq, do you have any convictions that you are willing to stand up for at your own expense and not at the expense of others? Good for you Kim, one step at a time!!!! Let the revolution continue to stand up for "Religious Freedom."

When I break the law, I do it with the expectation of the consequence. And I don't expect a democratic decision to be overturned by my personal preference.

This whole thread is about Davis' willingness to stand up for her convictions only when it was at the expense of others. When her own situation was at risk she went back to the courthouse.

Hypocrisy is fun to attack, but it's not that big a sin.
Far worse is that she harmed others by denying them their right to marry.

But, she did stand up for her conviction at the expense of many others.

 

[leibowde84]

Norman: Hi Rusha, what are you willing to do to stand up for your convictions?

She refused to do her job which harmed many others financially and mentally. She should be ashamed of herself. She broke her oath that she made "under God" literally.

I was not really talking about the hypocrisy, per se.
I was referring to the celebration of hypocrisy.
