No jail, absolutely not. I’m not trying to pick a fight here.
I just think gov’t is seperate from an individual’s religious beliefs. That doesn’t apply just to Christensen.
So you don't think we are or ever have been a "Christian Nation", is that it?
Our founders were deeply religious men and this nation would never have been born without the convictions of the founders that God's providential hand was guiding them.
It wasn't until the late 1950's that people got the idea that the first amendment prohibited such things as prayer in school or prayers by the coaches of a football team before a game.
The courts have steered this country into a position where it is now a crime to have a religious conviction. People who read and believe Romans Chapter 1 are now in danger of losing their ability to get a job or keep one.
We are supposed to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But at this point in history, Christians need not apply.
The bottom line here is that this woman's religion disqualifies her from holding public office. She doesn't not belong to a government approved religion. If she did, she wouldn't believe what the government says she should believe so that she can keep her job.
Ideally, the government would have stayed implementation of anything until a new law could have been written that did not require someone to violate their religious beliefs.
As it is, because they have forced this forward, they have no active marriage law under which to marry anyone or to punish anyone.
