Its a good day when bigots amount to nothing but a temporary inconvenience.

ā€œAnd Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesarā€™s, and to God the things that are Godā€™s.ā€

Kim Davis thinks she knows better than Jesus. Thereā€™s a word for this ā€“ arrogance. Hereā€™s another verse from the Bible: ā€œPride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.ā€

Glad to hear that William Smith and James Yates got their marriage license! Perhaps the clerk who was in tears will notice that God didnā€™t strike her dead for doing her job as a public servant.

Itā€™s a shame this couple canā€™t recover damages and expenses for Kim Davisā€™s violation of their Civil Rights.

Holding a sign that says ā€œWelcome to Sodom and Gomorrah,ā€

Shit, that motto should have been on every Kentucky border sign long ago!

I canā€™t help but feel the tiniest bit bad for bigots and the small-minded when their world begins to collapse around them. But only a tiny bit. Theyā€™ll get over it, eventually. And so many congratulations to the happy couples. :slight_smile: Beyond well-deserved.

The ā€˜months long standoffā€™ hasnā€™t ended. Itā€™s in a brief pause.

I hope those marriage licenses are legal. Iā€™ve read elsewhere that may be questionable.

Congratulations Bill & Jim! Plus, you have a collectible ($$$) license!!!

So, did God strike the Clerkā€™s office with a mighty thunderbolt yet?

Kimmiā€™s signature is placed on the license using an auto-sign. She never personally signed one. The auto-sign will be used on these as well, just like it has been used in the past when a deputy issued a license.

Is that true? I thought part of the issue was her refusal to allow her signature. Thatā€™s what I understand may make these licenses non-compliant. The judge said he didnā€™t know if the licenses issued would stand scrutiny.

She refused to allow her deputies to use the auto-sign.

ā€œJoe Davis said his wife would not resign from her position and would stay in jail for as long as it takes.ā€ Weā€™ll see how strong her four-year-old convictions are. As anyone who has experienced it can attest, a night in jail is no fun. I cannot imagine what weeks are like, but itā€™s surely enough time for Jesus to suggest to her an effective alternative.

It ainā€™t that weā€™re agin them homosexuals. We LOVE all of Godā€™s children. Because in every human body, no matter how sinful, is a tiny, adorable, liā€™l sole made in the Good Lordā€™s image. Itā€™s just that we donā€™t lahk them soddomites flauntinā€™ their sinfulness around and turning Godā€™s soldiers into martyrs. William and James, you will dah in hellfahr and brimstone unlessinā€™ you repent! God will strahk you down with a mighty smote of his powerful sword! But we du love you, we truly do.

Iā€™m all for Kim becoming the Padre Pio of the recently shriven fundiesā€¦

She told the judge her mother-in-law pleaded with her to go to church from her deathbed four years agoā€¦

Damn controlling parents

ā€œIā€™m a preacherā€™s daughter and this is the hardest thing Iā€™ve ever had to do in my life.ā€

ā€œI donā€™t hate anybody,ā€ she added. ā€œNone of us do.ā€

Perhaps you should take a deep breath, find a quiet place, and think about why your aversion to LGBTs is so strong while other prohibitions of your Bible can be casually ignored.

No, but he liberally glittered it.
