Frankly I don’t understand how government clerks who issue things can be allowed to individualize their duties either.
To me the DMV is just the DMV, I don’t want to have to deal with various political and religious views of individual clerks, and have to clerk shop to get the government permit or paperwork done.
alas, that is a sober, realistic analysis, and the one that will ultimately carry the day.
this abomination is now the “law of the land”. this is sort of what we have to do in the theater of action as accepting defeat, legally speaking.
perhaps Christians should find other jobs. but I’m not sure we can say that is mandatory. Paul prayed for those in Caesar’s household. He didn’t tell them to go look for work elsewhere. of course our economy is more fluid than theirs...but on the other hand, though this is wicked, Caesar’s household was still more wicked.
so ....I don’t like it, but what you say is dealing with reality, and there are reasons why we need to have administrators of various licenses simply issue the licenses. we don’t want clerks to see if they oppose a church’s theology every time they apply for a building permit....
You'll get flamed but I basically agree.
Should court clerks have the freedom to deny marriage licenses to people who were once divorced? Lived together first without being married?
It wasn't that long ago there were stories of Muslims who refused to sell pork to customers. Everyone was yelling "get a different job!" then.
And I would agree if that were equally applied. Until then we need to demand the treatment muslims get. IE ALL our religious demands met fully. And never ever let up until we are equal. Either by getting what we want or by all being stripped of religion of ALL forms from the workplace.
