If you’re a genuine believer, you don’t take a paycheck from The Beast.
As someone who has quit a government contract before precisely for this reason, I know exactly what making this decision is like.
The sticking point is the paycheck. Give it up and her problem goes away. But of course that doesn’t allow her to do the attention-seeking martyr thing or let her pocket money involuntarily extracted (AKA stolen) from taxpayers.
She fits the profile of a fake justifier exactly. They are epidemic here so I’m extremely familiar with it. The religious claim is a cover for what she really wants - the money and the attention. Joyce Lewis-Kugle is the example of what a genuine believer does in this exact same situation, and puts Davis to shame.
In reality it is not the job of the clerk to make these kinds of decisions. This is stuff the Governor and the SOS and AG should be standing up and doing. Backed up by their state legislature. The 10th Amendment.
So you’re saying that — despite the fact that it was EXTERNAL forces that destroyed Kim’s work environment, and forcibly inserted Satanic crap into the scope of her daily duties, whereas previously her office work did in fact comport reasonably well with the several tenets of the Christian faith — it isn’t any of those EXTERNAL forces that should be made to yield, but rather it is Ms. Davis who ought to give ground, here??
And you’re going beyond that notion to the broader idea that all Christians serving in the public sphere ought to repudiate the source of their paychecks, label that source “Satanic” (a.k.a. The Beast), quit their jobs, and so purify themselves of all unrighteousness as they thus remand the whole of the public sphere to the custody and control of un-christan and anti-christian persons??
If that’s a legitimate stance to take, then just how — pray tell — is one of your most elevated spirituality even allowed to tread upon this fallen sod unbesmirched by the sin-saturated dust upon your feet? Indeed, if your assertions as to Christians being on the public payrolls is in any degree valid, then you must, by logical extension, go the entire distance and advocate the wholesale self-removal of all Christianity from any sphere of society that is in the least bit tainted by sin.
And if that is ludicrous, then so is your initial claim also ludicrous.
I get your thinking, but disagree vehemently with your conclusions.
When you sit down in a quiet room and first consider that we were founded as a Judeo Christian country and the morality formed the basis of our founding documents, and then juxtapose that with a run of the mill county government job.....Treasurer!
Now ask yourself if there is something amiss when a Christian who has done that job for 27 years, suddenly and without much warning, can no longer do it for moral and religious reasons.
Should not any Christian or person of faith be able to any job in this country short of military service where one might be forced to kill.????
To add to this, her freedom to worship and be a Christian without fear of persecution is a established constitutional protection! “Shall Make No Law”!!!!! Shall!!! NO! INFRINGE!
