But that’s not quite what’s going on here. This clerk is not only not handling marriage licenses herself, she’s preventing anyone else in the county clerk’s office from doing so. So, a more analogous situation would be this: Suppose a devout muslim became head of a count DMV office, and had a religious belief that women should not be permitted to drive. Would it be OK if women could not obtain drivers licenses at that DMV office?

Exactly.

This foolish crusade this woman is on is exposing a split between those who believe in the Rule of Law and those who simply believe they should be able to live in a land that follows their "Christian" rules.

No counter-examples will they hear. It's all about them being sure they know what God wants and to hell with law and our due processes.

I'm a Christian, but I recognize that when placed in a situation like this, if one really feels that strongly, one needs to resign with honor. Have no part of it. Kick the dirt off your sandals.

There is a third choice ( which this Woman has chosen ) — DEFY THE LAW AS UNJUST and like Martin Luther King Jr. and the Apostles and Christians during the Roman Empire, suffer the consequences for standing up to what you believe.

I disagree that what she did is foolish. She is making a PUBLIC STATEMENT and we as Christians should unite in supporting her courage.

"I'm a Christian"

You may think you are however Christians have a duty to resist immoral laws. Many Christians died resisting immoral laws. They were real Christians.
