Right? **Bridget Burke** is entirely right - Davis’ personal life, including her martial and sexual history, is _completely irrelevant_. Kim Davis, private citizen, isn’t the issue here; it’s Kim Davis, clerk of Rowan County, who is the problem.

Here is an article on her latest appeal.

We have a stand down order from Liberty Eagle 1. How copy, over?” ---

> [@Punoqllads](#): > > Except that all the divorces happened before she became a fundamentalist Christian. So, she’s a sinner, but God forgives her; no hypocrisy. Unless I’m mistaken, she’s currently married isn’t she? So, by her beliefs, she’s currently living in sin and apparently unrepentant about it. I don’t think you can benefit from forgiveness for a sin if you continue committing that same sin. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > I dunno, at this point I think she’s being advised to do this by a lot of well meaning people as well as a lot more people with different and hidden agendas, AND she’s being told that she’s some great Christian HERO and it’s placing a lot of expectations on her. I’m sure a lot of those voices are singing in the key of MONEY too. (meaning they’re telling her she can make money doing this, not that they themselves are giving it to her) This, this, a hundred times this…but with a pinch of what **Bridget Burke** is saying too. Not about being used by men or that stuff, but about how she’s feeding off this stuff now. At this point, she thinks she can do no wrong. She feels/thinks she’s the champion of all “true Christian” people. With the amount of attention and publicity and support and possible money from these groups, she’s not going to be stopping any time soon. I mean, yeah, just as many (if not wayyyy more) people dislike and disagree with her very strongly, but she already knew about that stuff and it doesn’t faze her. All she’s soaking in is the praise and support from other deluded, like-minded people and especially from a lot of “higher up” people (I.E. Huckabee, Cruz, etc) giving their support and meeting her. They’re all flaming this fire pretty hot and I can see it turning ugly really fast, really easily…really soon. I mean, she sees herself as an outcast, martyr type now…taking a huge stand against thousands of “naysayers” and there will be no backing down for her now. She’s basically made it her personal mission to do everything she can to impede as much as she can and she will not ever stop. I think it’s going to get (much) worse before it gets better…and I cannot wait until she gets fully smacked down with a huge dose of reality. ---

> [@Punoqllads](#): > > Except that all the divorces happened before she became a fundamentalist Christian. So, she’s a sinner, but God forgives her; no hypocrisy. I don’t like this logic. It’s true what you say, yes… …but it doesn’t make her any less of a hypocrite. Even taking that example out of the equation, there’s still the fact that the bible also says “love thy neighbor”, so her talking about how gays are so “unequal” and “an abomination” and going to “burn in hell for all of eternity” doesn’t sound like she’s listening much to that part of her good book, only the parts that back her up. As I said to someone a few days ago, you can’t just pick and choose what parts of the bible count and what ones don’t. Either it all counts or none of it does.
