> [@outlierrn](#): > > Fair to say, but it does speak to the fickleness of her commitments. > > Presumably, she entered into marriage with high ideals, at least the first couple times, but when she realized how much work that was going to be she quit. Now she wants to impose those high ideals on others (you do it the right way, or you do without). I wouldn’t be surprised if, in a corner of her mind, she thinks that making others do what she couldn’t do will help atone for her own actions. Just curious, where’d you get your psychology degree? ---

No. I’m using HER bible as a barometer for HER morality (or lack thereof). That’s consistent. And the bible being used as a cherry-picked barometer by the storybook bashers is also consistent. ---

Could be worse. At least she hasn’t yet had a JAYSUS-BORN-AGAIN deep spiritual belief that people applying to her for a marriage license must marry her. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > I think it’s been established at this point that whatever Davis does or doesn’t sincerely believe is irrelevant to her duty as a public official to comply with the law. Right. Resign, or go to jail under contempt orders until she gets impeached. If the KY legislature won’t impeach her she can wait in jail until the end of her term. Then the GOOD people of Rowan County should file class action against the county for lack of services. Simple. We will see what next week brings. ---

No sorry, you don’t get to use it to comment on her morality unless we get to use it to comment on yours.

Pretty much all of them, since I don’t believe in the shit, don’t preach it, and don’t try to force others to live by it. Is that clear enough? ---

> [@bosbfdsfd](#): > > So, just so we’re clear, you’re using the Bible as a barometer for morality, yes? And liberals claim to be consistent, lol. You could not be more _unclear_ if you tried with both hands. I’m an American Indian. The only thing the bible has been to me and mine is a weapon to club us into submission and let others feel good about it afterwards. Your liberal/conservative dichotomous horseshit is nothing but laughable to someone like me. Not only are you barking up the wrong tree when you try to apply your pathetic nonsense to me, you are far and away in the middle of Antarctica - where nothing grows, nothing is nourished or cherished or matters. If you don’t believe me, go visit a reservation. Now go yip-yip-yip at someone else. ---

So, tell us, which parts are you currently violating in your private life, since, according to you, that’s completely relevant to the discussion at hand? Kim is the one that says she believes in it. Not us. She want’s to use it as both a soap box and a shield. She cherry picks the parts she likes (homophobia) and is trying to force those views on others. She has even been given a way out that she does not have to issue the licenses herself. We will see if that is good enough. As it stands, it sounds like she is going to continue to try to force her so called ‘ideals’ on others. ---

We are using the Bible as a barometer for Kim Davis’s morality, since she was the one who invoked it. We are not using the Bible as a barometer for anyone else’s morality, since they did not invoke it. Are we clear? (And, no, don’t bother whining “buuuut it’s (sob) _not fair_ to call someone a hypocrite because they try to have moral standards any you don’t!1!/!1”.
