    What is offensive is your avatar.

    Shame on you
    It's supposed to be. And I honestly don't care. Trust me, you have no idea how close this situation is to me. And I'm not gonna air my dirty laundry on here, not in this crisis.

    Not meaning to get in the middle of something but... since bb's avatar has been brought up I must say, I do not find it offensive at all. Powerful, yes. Moving, yes. Invoking a desire to be better aware of and educated about the refugee situation, yes. To do whatever, in any way one can, to make any amount of difference in supporting those victims of a huge and cruel power game, hell yes.

    Now back to the subject at hand. Bible students, another (sorry, rather long-winded) question for you (besides the unanswerable regarding Jesus take on gay marriage since it didn't seem to be a big enough issue for him to talk about): The Bible tells the story of how King David (now remember, this King David is considered one of God's most chosen) got the hots for Bathsheba, wife of Uriah the Hittite, couldn't keep it in his pants and not only had sex with her and had an illegitimate child with her but then basically had Uriah offed by putting him on the front line of battle. Why is this forgivable enough to the point of God making David one of his chosen ones but when two people of the same sex who happen to be homosexual and care deeply enough for each other to commit to a life of marriage, why in hell is this supposedly NOT ok? See the huge discrepancy here?

    But really, no need to answer because we all know about separation of church and state and the fact that this woman, having the beliefs she has, should never have taken a job she can't do correctly in the first place. If you don't want to uphold the law, don't go into government. Simple. Case solved. Go to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

    No idea what you're referring to, sorry
    How does Michelle have a bulge if she had a sex change operation in the 80's?
    What is your response to the photos of Michelle as a child, clearly her, clearly a girl?

    Again, you claim to be about debating posts and not sinking to our level, so pony up!

    Do you support Sharia law? Do you support Muslim officials in the government denying drivers licenses to women, marriage licenses to gays, and gun permits to anyone because of their deeply held religious beliefs?

    You also haven't responded to the issue of Kim Davis being a hypocrite. She is an adulterer. How dare she judge anyone?

    If you don't respond to my questions I will have to consider you a hypocrite for criticising us for failing to debate your points.

    I've been reading through most of this thread and the hilarity is beyond what I've come across over the years. You know it sort of reminds of some the post of a long ago poster aerial. She used to make threads very very interesting and in a strange strange way I felt for her and her thoughts. Anybody remember her?

    That's racist and offensive. Every time I say something bothers me you do it more. I don't get why that's fun...
    Please explain why it is racist.

    could it be because jesus is depicted as white when he was of middle eastern descent?

    that would be like portraying buddah as a white dude, or muhammad as a white dude, or reagan as a black dude.

    Godfather.
    She has 6 deputy clerks. 5 are willing to issue. She refused to have her name on the licenses as the clerk of courts. She was given the choice to avoid jail bu allowing the deputy clerks to issue the licenses. She refused that offer. She is free to believe gays shouldn't be allowed to marry. But as a civil servant cannot legally impose that on others in the permance of her lawful duties as clerk. She swore an oath to uphold the US Constitution as well as Kentucky's. She is breaking that oath. Derelict in her duties. She is in jail for refusing to comply with a lawful judicial order.

    If that was you and you quit the rest of the people in the office would say
    "don't let the door hit your bible thumpin ass on the way out"

    If she was to get someone else to issue the licences instead that would be passing the buck and shirking her duties which is grounds to get fired.

    These thick headed religious people just do not see the error of their thinking. Now she sits in jail like a moron where as before she was just a moron wandering on the outside world.

    this would be like me being a paramedic and refusing to do cpr because it is god's will that the person stopped breathing.

    jesus said nothing about cpr, or anything related to lifesaving medicine, therefore it is not for me to act.

    that would make me a pretty much worthless paramedic. they do a lot of cpr.

    still though, if someone works in pizza prep, their job is to put on that pizza whatever the customer orders. it is not their job to place their morals and force their anti meat views onto other people while on the clock.

    I don't take issue with this *edit - this woman having her beliefs (though I do consider them fucked up); it's about imposing them on others.

    How's that so difficult to accept, let alone comprehend?

    Also, I can't believe gimme was reported. Hope the mods had a nice laugh over that.

    I said this. Go read my posts. Her denying licenses is a good thing. She's doing gods work. Her being divorced previously has not one once of anything to do with this. Divorce is mentioned and accepted in the bible. Two people of the same gender being married didn't start until the 1740s. Read my other posts to see my feelings.

    Keep pushing and trying to insinuate I am a hypocrite but honestly I already answered your questions. You just want to bully me like everyone else.

    Yes. Thank you for answering for me. We all know Jesus was brown skinned. He came from the Middle East!

    Wasn't it her job, under the same constitution, to deny said licenses for the last hundred years? Only a few short months ago were the rules changed. She's doing what she feels is right, doing gods work and denying the right to marry legally. She's not against gays because of that, she's against breaking the law she's known and upheld for years. That's why she's a martyr for Christians, is she's willing to put her American freedom on the line, and lose it for her beliefs. They did the same thing to Jesus ya know, murdered and torturered him for sticking to his beliefs in a time when society said you couldn't. Isn't this a similar situation?
