September 10, 201511 yr If you are against same-sex marriage it doesn't make you bigoted or hateful, it just means you have a warped view on things, JMO. If you act on those beliefs and work to ban allowing gay couples to marry, then yes I consider you a bigot and hateful. As for the poster who said people aren't better than Kim Davis. Sorry, I absolutely believe I'm better than someone who works to deny equality and equal rights to another based on their sexual orientation. Same applies to those who work to deny these things based on race, ethnicity, religion, or gender. I was thinking you are Catholic. If that is correct how do you reconcile your religions stance on gay marriage? Also, I have zero problem with anyone that is against gay marriage as a religious institution within the world of their church/religion. I don't think less of them nor do I think they have a warped view on things. In the context of a government recognized union and given rights/benefits, I agree with you.
September 10, 201511 yr I was thinking you are Catholic. If that is correct how do you reconcile your religions stance on gay marriage? I am, and the simple answer is, I simply 100% disagree with the Church on it. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I do not for a second believe that God would punish someone for simply loving (and acting upon that love) someone of the same sex. I know that contradicts the Bible, but that's okay as there is a lot of stuff in there that I don't necessarily agree with.

And I agree with your second statement. I 100% support churches and organized religions right to refuse to perform or recognize marriages that they don't agree with. If two gay people want to get married in the church, I will stand on the church's side if they refuse to do it.

September 10, 201511 yr Oath Keepers Offers Kim Davis Protection From Further Imprisonment by Judge |
September 10, 201511 yr The Oath Keepers have sent armed people to guard Kim Davis from the U.S. Marshals They love this country SO MUCH that if the United States Marshals Service shows up to do a job they're sworn to do... they'll shoot em. Heaven above, where do these people come from?
September 10, 201511 yr Wow Even though I respect Kim Davis standing fast for her religious beliefs and think the U.S. Government has no business issuing marriage licenses to anyone (the government should issue civil unions that give all spouses all rights within the United States IMO, and any American should be allowed access. If they want a conventional marriage that is between the couple and the church of their denomination) this is about as crazy of a thing as I have ever heard. For the record I did not think there was a due process when dealing with contempt of court. Only if an individual is being charged with a crime. She has not been charged so I don't think there is a due process. She also has no criminal record despite having spent time in jail. Armed militia type personnel standing up to the U.S. Government will not end well. For Kim Davis, the armed militia, or anyone else IMO.
September 10, 201511 yr They are saying they discussed the "operation" with Jackson Co Sherif Denny Peyman?

September 10, 201511 yr Isn't she supposed to go back to work on tomorrow? I guess we'll find out how far the Oathkeepers are willing to go if she fires an employee or denies a marriage license. Of course all of it depends on a gay couple going in to the office to apply for a license.
