Kim Davis Isn't Christian and Might Cause Another Civil War
Everything that can be said about Kim Davis already has been and more eloquently and by far better people than I. I'll also state for the record that while I'm no longer a religious person, I grew up with Christian parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their station and how they grew up.
Let's just go with the thought that God does give authority for people to do certain actions based on the bible for the purposes of this argument. Let's say that that is the case. Even if that were the case, Kim Davis would still be wrong because nowhere in the bible does it state thou shall not issue marriage licenses to homosexuals.
However, it does say to follow the laws and submit to governing authorities. Romans 13.
It does say not to judge other people, as that's not for humans to do. Matthew 7.
It does say to love your neighbour. Mark 12:31.
Kim Davis doesn't love nor respect her neighbours and she certainly judges them as she's judging what they're doing and refusing to do something that doesn't even affect her. If she's not doing it because she feels that God would look down on her specifically for issuing those marriage licenses she doesn't know the bible as it specifically states for her to do her job and follow the court's order.
And now, because of this inadequacy for people to actually read the bible, a rouge militant organization is protecting Kim Davis, threatening the judge who ordered her to do her job, and rallied a whole town into near riotous proportions.
All because a marginalized set of people want to have the same basic rights and freedoms that other people have.
And they dare to say that what's happening to Kim Davis is un-constitutional.
The 14th amendment states that all people will have equal protection of the laws. This is coming from https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/equal_protection: "In other words, the laws of a state must treat an individual in the same manner as others in similar conditions and circumstances. A violation would occur, for example, if a state prohibited an individual from entering into an employment contract because he or she was a member of a particular race."
The only reason why any would still continue this path and agree with what Kim Davis is doing against all these facts is because of bigotry and hatred. But why does it even matter what I'm saying right now? According to my own blog post, I'm just saying this so others will agree with me on how foolish it is. I can't be wanting to change people's minds, because studies show that even when presented with facts, people will still not change their minds.
