Where 'God's authority' ends (LA Times)

[struggle4progress]

By THE TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD

... Those convictions tell her that she must not issue a marriage license "which conflicts with God's definition of marriage" — an assertion that confuses civil marriage, in which Davis' office plays a role, with marriage in the sight of God ...

Like its federal counterpart, Kentucky's religious freedom law allows the government to override religious objections in furtherance of a "compelling government interest." Insisting that all public officials enforce the law and the Constitution — as opposed to their personal understanding of God's law — is clearly such an interest ...

In a statement released by her lawyers, Davis said that for her, issuing a marriage license to a gay couple was a "Heaven or Hell decision." But if an elected official believes that complying with the law and the Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court threatens her with eternal damnation, her choice is obvious: Give up the office.

1. What does God say about divorce?

In her case, 3 of them?
Wasn't she supposed to be married "til death do us part" ?

Hmmm..was she even married IN a church any of the 3 times.?

2. If her oath of office means as little to her as her wedding vows, she should step down

3. There's also the ADULTERY issue

Married to husband Number One, boinked by future husband Number Three, divorces, or is divorced by Husband Number One while five months pregnant, marries Husband Number Two. He does the gentlemanly thing and adopts the wee little bastards, they divorce and she marries Husband Number Three with whom she committed Adultery.

But it's all O.K., 'cause Davis found the Lord and all of her sins are now forgiven.

Oh Dear Lord,
Forgive me my sins and pass the Magic Windex, so that I may cleanse my glass house,
so that I may more perfectly hurl your Sacred Stones at others I deem to be unworthy.
In Jeeezus name, AAh-myen.
