What a mess! What a waste of tax money!
Oh...but Davis, the judges, the lawyers, and staffs are all getting PAID!! And paid pretty decent to boot!
Fire ALL these useless, dead weight, incompetents!
Trim down the laws to the most reasonable and necessary 5% or so...and get rid of 95% of these people milking this bloated system that is bogging us down.
As respects government and religion: The government is supposed to MAKE NO LAW about that...so don't. Don't even touch the issue...at all, in any way! Act as if there is no such thing as religion. If you can't do that...step aside, you don't meet the qualifications for the job.

But is he a real Christian? Real Christians do not throw other Christians into jail for breaking the law or contempt of court.
Is there a generally recognized "Real Christian" test somewhere? Who grades it?
If real Christians won't throw other Christians in jail when they break the law, then I'm surprised anyone would elect or appoint Christians to the bench.

This is ridiculous on its face, but a quick google turned up this -
All US cases, I didn't bother with the ones from the UK or Australia.

Please cite your source for this, I wasn't able to google anything from your description. Bunning said that he will order her back to jail if she interferes with her deputies as they issue licenses, but I don't believe she's even been back to work yet.
I read that her supporters were protesting at the judge's home on the weekend. Doesn't seem like their religious rights have been 5aken away. I wonder how protestor at the Davis household would be viewed on this forum.
No, she is asking for special privileges and exemptions from doing her actual job. Which is in NO way comparable to people who were allowed wear unusual attire to work. A massive difference but one you ignore simply because, as per usual, it does not fit your narrative.

No, she is refusing to do part of her job. It does not matter if she is refusing to do her entire job, or just a proportion of it, the fact remains she is now refusing to do part of the job she was hired to do and accepted doing.

YOU do not speak for all Christians or even many Christians if the christian reaction to you on this forum is any measure at all. YOU might be getting fed up with it, but as I have pointed out numerous times but only get silence and retreat as a reply: Your concept of what "religious freedom" means is skewed from the actual reality of what it means by no small distance.
And as many people have pointed out this ruling was made by a Catholic Judge who personally opposes SSM which, again, does not fit your narrative of this all being "Christian persecution by a gay agenda". You sound little different to the Creationists after the Dover Trial moaning about an agenda when in fact the Judge in the case was a Bush Appointed Christian.

Amazing how when you can not back up your narrative you switch into fantasy narratives of what WOULD happen but has never happened. Similar to your "Soon pastors will be thrown in jail" narrative of what iffery and imagination. But someone above already asked you to cite a case of this happening, so I am all ears to hear your silence again.

Jews wear the yarmulke, the hijab is seen on Arabs ,there is the Sikh turban. I imagine in Jeff's church what you see is head coverings made out of tinfoil.
I trust that her subordinates will ignore her. If her instructions violate the law, her orders are without force. effectively she will have become a paid redundancy and the sooner she understands that her position is untenable, the better.
Then (To Gldnrule's relief) she will stop being a waste of tax -money.
