No, and if that is the case, she is morally obliged to quit.
Just follow orders then?
Sir, go out and read some Bonhoeffer. Start with “The Cost of Discipleship”. I will try to paraphrase him in my own poor way. Bonhoeffer talked of cheap grace, and of the tendency of people in the church to put God into a nice little box. One you bring out on nice Sunday’s, maybe on Christmas, but lock it back up when comes to the “real” world. He talked of those who believed that while belief is important, it shouldn’t interfere with what the State wants you to do. In other words, cheap grace which is no grace at all.
He then goes on to talk about the real cost. The fact that you need to stand for something, or you will find you did your upmost duty for the Devil. He talks that at the end, you will be judged not by what your employer or State did, but what you did.
If that doesn’t suit you, and you are true to your convictions, then return to England. The Founding Fathers violated much graver oath’s of office in their rebellion then this woman has. They took up arms against the King that many of them had sworn to protect. They did so because they had beliefs that went deeper than the surface of their oath.
Now, with your statement, you must accept that George Washington, Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin should have just quit and went home. You would have told Bonhoeffer that he was evil for working against Hitler while he was part of military intelligence when he had the chance to go to New York and stay there.
Of course, you will say, that is different! All those mentioned were fighting for something better and truer than what this little clerk in Kentucky is. Of course Hancock resisted King George!
But that was over small taxes on tea and paper. Over the issue that those being governed should have the right of refusal to a government bent on ignoring them. Think about it. The Founding Fathers violated their holy oaths to King and Empire over a minor tax on goods they didn’t need to buy and a political theory. They started a rebellion against the greatest power on earth of the time and won.
Of course, you can just slink back and mumble that they should have just done their duty. Many did then. Even today many view Bonhoeffer not as a good example, but as a traitor to the German state. They say, as you say, he should have left rather than try to save the country he loved.
So join their ranks. Leave. Follow your standard back to Britain (or where ever). Demand the statues of Washington the Traitor to the Crown (which is something an Englishman I know calls him) be torn down because they offer bad examples to others who may have convictions that the State does not approve of. Burn the Stars and Stripes, as it represents a flag of anarchy against the rule of unelected Kings. Allow the chains to be fitted round you of just following orders as you walk on the path to perdition.
But, when the day comes they start marching us to camps for a final solution to the Christian problem (which in some quarters is being discussed), don’t say “That is to much! No more!” You are morally obligated to get on the train.
Sir, I have read history. I have also read what the other side wants. They are pretty open about it. The fight isn’t about a clerk in Kentucky, any more than it was about Tea.
