Rightwingwatch has a fun little story about the Kentucky county clerks who are banding together to fight against humanity.
On Monday, Casey County Clerk Casey Davis (no relation) appeared on Huntington, West Virginia’s “The Tom Roten Morning Show” to discuss how he similarly plans to defy the courts if ordered to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples … even to the point of death.
Davis railed against Gov. Steve Beshear for complying with the Supreme Court’s marriage equality ruling, insisting that the governor should flout the Obergefell decision: “I think that’s a travesty to think that just because he don’t see it this way or his opinion is to let same-sex marriage go and it’s all right that us as Christians, we as Christians just don’t have rights anymore? That’s wrong sir. That’s not right.”
Well, that's the same old stuff you usually hear out of these guys. But wait, Mr. Davis is going to take it up a notch.
An emotional Davis went on to claim that he may lose his life in defiance of marriage equality: “Our law says ‘one man and one woman’ and that is what I held my hand up and took an oath to and that is what I expected. If it takes it, I will go to jail over — if it takes my life, I will die for because I believe I owe that to the people that fought so I can have the freedom that I have, I owe that to them today, and you do, we all do. They fought and died so we could have this freedom and I’m going to fight and die for my kids and your kids can keep it.”
I hope his kids will be able to tell their gay kids that their grandfather served time in prison to stop men and women from getting married to other men and women. But first ... some more awesome bad-Bible-interpretation from the Kentucky county clerk who doesn't want to do his job.
“Where is Adam and Eve’s marriage license recorded at and who did they go get them issued by? I’ll tell you, God issued them. God ordained it. Whether you believe in God or not, the Bible is where marriage came from and it is where it will continue to come from regardless of what man says that it is. It will never be anything but between one man and one woman in the eyes of God, that’s what marriage is and someone else may label it as something else but it can never be anything except between one man and one woman.”[bold my emphasis]
I think the theologian Casey Davis has answered the toughest question in Christianity—one that has plagued all religions since the dawn of time: Why do bad things happen to good people?
Turns out, God is pretty busy doing paperwork.
Go below the fold to listen to the madness.
