Supposedly her fourth marriage was to her second husband. Unless she is really dumb, she wouldn't go back to an abuser.

Why do leftists almost always generalize the negative to all Christians, but defend against generalizations with radical Islam? The double standard is amazing...
I have been called the l-word but I doubt defend Islam at all, especially radicalized Islam. I don't know why people think liberals defend radicalized Islam

I believe there is nothing in the bible prohibiting gay marriage but there is plenty about the sin of divorce.

The point the poster was making was Liberals defend Islam, recognizing the radical elements don't represent all Muslims. That same consideration doesn't extend to Christians more often than not.

I agree with that poster. And for Liberal to deny that is disingenuous.

Muhammad murdered anyone who did not agree with him and was a pedophile. So, what does anyone like about Islam?

The truth hurts. The we can do it but you can't crowd. Too many on both sides do it. Reason, logic, and honesty hold no place in their homes.

Change your religion. You really don't believe in anything do you. No reason to change things right, just run. I'm glad the founders didn't have your quitter mentality.

I think this is the liberal stance: If your love feels like hate then it is not love. If you are using God to denigrate and humiliate then it is not God.

No one is denying her "rights" to believe whatever things she wants.

She just needs to step aside from a job that requires her to do legal things against her beliefs.

There is no clause in your job contract that says "I will take a full paycheck but only do the parts of the job that I decide that I like and agree with." You do the WHOLE job your employer requires of you, or you go find another job..

What's so hard about that?

I think many of us believe that you and Kim Davis hate gays and wish to re-legislate a Supreme Court ruling that you don't like, because you enjoy systematically denigrating certain types of people different than you. I'm sure your forefathers felt similarly when they had to tolerate those blacks on the same bus.

You don't have to change your religion; you just have to change your job. Why do you think your employer is required to keep you on board if your beliefs preclude you from doing the job you were paid to do?

And you can't re-legislate this. It is done and you may not like it but you WILL live by it... or find another country.

It's amazing how Christians will completely blow past these kinds of comments and pretend they don't see them, because they don't fall among the the cherry-picked "laws of God" they choose to follow.
