"God's law is above the laws of a nation" -
Senator Mike Huckabee.
Let's have a look at one of God's laws. "Anyone
arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge must be put to death" -
Deuteronomy 17:12
My thoughts and comments:
I am an ex-Catholic and ex-Christian. I've left the
organized Christian religion, but I keep some of the good teachings of Christ,
like Love and Forgiveness. I no longer consider the Bible holy. It is the
Bible, but not Holy Bible.
In the Bible, you can find many good things and also lots of
craps. You can quote one verse to reject another verse. I've found it almost
futile to argue with the fundamental conservative Christians, I mean by using
their same Bible which they claim to be the words of God. They would insist on
the authority of certain verse that they use, but reject your verse which
came from their same Bible. Quoting the Bible is just a game of cherry picking,
not necessarily an authority to approve or disapprove anything.
In this story, Kim Davis, the Kentucky
clerk who refused to issue marriage license to gay couples had been put to jail
for contempt of court. She was then released and became a 15 minutes hero of
the conservative Christians.
My opinion is that since Kim Davis cannot perform her job of
issuing marriage license to gay couples, for doing so is against her conscience
and religious belief, then she should resign and find another job. To keep the
job, get paid, while not being ready, willing and able to do the work and serve
the people is rather hypocritical with no integrity.
