The difference is that Kim Davis doesn't own the government-- she works for it, according to the law of the USA. By refusing to adhere to those laws, she represents a civil worker in rebellion-- she's taking pay from the government but refusing to follow its mandate.
Moslem store owners don't work for the government, or for their customers. They may choose to sell whatever products they like. It's 100% different. . . but of course you won't be able to see that.
Quote: Why is it Christians the Godless hate so much, much more than any other "religion?"Because no other religious institution consistently attempts to undermine the American constitution by allowing (read: forcing) their own preferences and prejudices to invade the functioning of the goverment. You don't see Jewish government workers refusing to marry Muslims, do you, or vice versa? You don't see Hindu government workers attempting to prevent meat-eaters from getting married, do you?
Kim Kavis is like a vegetarian McDonald's worker refusing to serve meat. And that, obviously, is fucking stupid.
Quote:They should celebrate this woman's free expression and religious exercise in the name of "tolerance."This isn't an issue of her free expression. On her free time, she can go to anti-gay rallies (i.e. church) as much as she wants. It's an issue of her deciding to rebel against the laws of the government for which she works, and doing so in a way which is intolerant of a group, and an act, which is now legally protected. The Bible lays out corporal punishment, but you can't hit children in a government building as an expression of your religious freedom. Because government > church when you're in a government building. And thank God for that.
