Kim
Davis
Yes, I can see you’re already warming those fingertips up to
backlash at me if I say something in her defense.
I’m not going to.
But
a Few Hard Questions
I am going to ask
a few hard questions though. I’ve read so many articles about this woman, and
none of them have answered why we’re smearing a woman’s name in every
little corner of the internet and newshole.
Did she do something wrong? Yes. A couple of things if we’re
being honest. The first and most obvious being that Kim Davis did not step down
from her position as soon as gay marriage was legalized. The second thing she
did wrong, and this is where it ends folks, is she continued pulling a paycheck despite not being willing to do her job.
That’s the reason the judge threw her in jail for contempt of court. That is
it. The end. Game over.
Is
She Really More Selfish Than Any of Us?
Her thoughts and beliefs she has displayed in public are not
illegal to hold. Bigoted? Sure. Dangerous? From her, I doubt it. Yet we have
turned her into a public figure while leading a veritable inquisition against
her…and her “kind.” My kind. The God-fearing kind. So, hard question number
one: Why are we burning a woman at the stake for being selfish? More important
to myself and others like me (others who tend to be far more quiet than I), why
are all God-fearing men and women being targeted along with yet another
Christian who managed to hit the stupid wall?
Do
You Care About Peace, Or Being “Right(eous)?
Hard question number two follows closely with number one:
The LGBT community has been asking for peace and equality within the sanctity
of law. Equality needed to happen, but it seems that since the LGBT won
marriage equality, many of you (not all) are doing little more than inciting
Christians to fight with you. I’ve warned about this type of behavior before.
Inciting a fight does nothing but…well…incite a fight. What happened to the
message of peace and equality, and do
you still even care? Do you want
Christians on your side? I’m not feeling very safe on this side of the line.
How long, I wonder, before you turn the mob mentality against me?
Kim
Davis VS Social Justice
 |
| So this is necessary? |
Kim Davis is going to lose her battle of religion vs law. She
lost the battle against social justice warriors the minute she refused to sign
a marriage certificate. Please take a moment to realize what this witch hunt
has been about: a piece of paper. I’m not saying it’s not important to uphold
the law. I’m not saying Kim Davis was in the right. But, in the aftermath, the
social justice warriors have once again proven they can be just as wrong.
The street goes both ways. You can’t bully people after
telling them they can’t bully you. You can’t burn crosses in people’s backyards
when you’ve told them it’s wrong. You can’t tell a group of people exactly how
to think when you’ve demanded to be free to think for yourself.
Let's allow the law to handle Mrs. Davis. I promise you, they will take
care of the problem one way or another.
