“Can a pacifist Quaker refuse to issue a CCW license?”

Take it further...can a pacifist Quaker refuse to pay taxes that will be used by the military?

I’m not opposed to alcohol in moderation, but many Baptist reject drinking ANY alcohol. Can a Baptist county clerk refuse to issue a license to a liquor store if that store has met all its legal obligations?

Those are denominational issues. This is not.

The Supreme Court's rulings are making it impossible for any traditional Christian or Jew or Muslim (for that matter) to hold public office.

As someone else said, religion is protected under the Constitution, "gay marriage" is not, and those religious protections have been understood to forbid any religious (or irreligious) test to hold public office.

In addition, the "gay marriage" ruling contravenes 5000 years of civil law and has no basis in any rational interpretation of the Constitution whatsoever: it is pure diktat by the elites to the rest of. Simply on the issue of civic equality, the court's orders should be refused.

Bunning should be tarred and feathered and given a one-way ticket back to his masters in DC.
