The #1 lesson is that we need millions more to act just like her.

Are members of the U.S. military still trained not to obey illegal orders?

I agree, Christians must stand up for their faith.

Hopefully though, you got my comment on the irony of liberal finger wagging in this instance. :-)

Another lesson

You cannot separate the national and local democratic parties

Kim Davis was an elected official of the DEMOCRATIC party. She probably rationalized that by saying that she had nothing to do with the national platform but the democrats have been pushing the homosexual agenda for years. Did she really think they didn’t mean what they said?

You cannot, at this point be a decent person and be a member of the democratic party. She should switched parties years ago or she should have given up her objections on religious grounds and become a true leftist.

I have no sympathy for so called conservative democrats.

The lesson we should learn from this is that the Supreme Court cannot make law under our Constitution. Kim Davis was following the laws currently on the books in the state of Kentucky. The judge was WRONG!

It IS puzzling; but that aside, if man’s law conflicts with God’s law, then God’s law wins out. - I don’t understand the woman being a Democrat either; does not compute.

She’s an elected official, the Party you chose oftentimes has more with getting elected than ideology.

The purpose of this piece was to point out the irony of liberals going on about how elected officials MUST follow the law regardless of their disagreement with them.

The particulars of this can be discussed, of course, but my point is a much broader one than that.

Matrimony is based on the Latin word mater, which means mother. LGBT folks want matrimony?

Ok...enough people are missing the point that maybe I need to re-word this...

Must Christians be forced to eat of the sacrifices to god Caesar, even though it is against their morals.

Should Becket have not opposed King Henry II on moral grounds?

Should Thomas More have opposed King Henry VIII on moral grounds?

Should John Bunyan have stopped preaching because it offended Charles II?

ACTS 29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
