To: Conscience of a Conservative

If she was forced by law to segregate and discriminate against black people, would you still demand she do that?

If she lived in Nazi Germany, and was forced by law to send Jews to the ovens, would you suggest she do that or lose her job?

If she said her religion prevented her from issuing marriage licenses to black people would you support her on that?

This is not an open and shut issue. On the one hand she does have the right to her religious beliefs. On the other hand she was elected to carry out the duties of the county clerk, one of which is to issue marriage licenses. If her religion prevents her from doing her job then I don't see how she can keep it. Anymore than the Muslim grocery clerk who refuses to ring up pork or liquor on religious grounds.

Excellent point of analogy.

And no different.

It is better for us to obey God than men.

Our God is strong enough to save her from the consequences of refusing to bow down to wickedness, but even if He doesn’t - I think it’s great she will STILL not obey their orders.
