I've been commenting on one of the news stories on this, and you wouldn't believe--or maybe you would-- the names I've been called, the absolute vulture-puking bile that has been poured on me, because I dared defend the clerk's right to refuse to violate private religious belief. One violent atheist said Christians have no right to be in government, because our God and our morality was "fictitious".

Admit it, people: the Constitution is no longer operative, because the other side no longer recognizes our rights. The next step is getting enough support to round us all up.

While I will defend her personal rights and the right for her to express and practice her religion, she holds a public office which must be fair and just to all of the individuals in which her office oversees. This is not a private company this is a government position. The level of government position is irrelevant. As a government employ, in this case the state, city or county, she must dutifully do her job to all irregardless of the beliefs she holds. If in the execution of her duties in a government position, she finds she is unable to provide the services the position calls for then either transfer or resign. While I disagree on the current marriage laws, the way to change them is to overturn them. I will defend her right to be christian and her beliefs as Christian but in a “secular” country of laws, we must adhere to the laws that have been passed. The same goes for an athiest or mormon.

If it were law that every homeowner be given a gun for their protection and someone based on their religious beliefs said they weren’t going to do that and held public office, everyone on here would cite the 2nd admendment and tell them they need to distribute the guns. It is no different with marriage licenses. Either do your duty as a government official or get out. The law is the law until it is no longer the law.

I am against homosexuals (’cept lipstick lezzies /s) but the law is they can marry. It’s not something I like nor agree with. Hell there are many things I don’t like and don’t agree with but are the law. Do I stop following those laws? Until we get this overturned, it must be followed. Otherwise we can all pick and choose what laws we follow or don’t follow.
