Kim Davis needs to find new job, nation

In her own words, Kentucky's Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis has said, "It is not a light issue for me. It is a heaven or hell decision."

Let me get this straight. God, through his emissaries, Pope Francis and Catholic priests, can forgive a woman who has had an abortion but can God forgive Ms. Davis for issuing a marriage license to a same gender couple who love each other? Noooo. For her, it's Jesus speaking "everlasting fire" Matthew 18:8, and "wailing and gnashing of teeth" Matthew 13:42 - not for 10 years, not for 100 years, but for eternity.

Who can believe in such a vindictive God? Oh wait, a lot of people do. After God realized that his genocidal, universal Noachian flood didn't get humans to shape up, he tried a different approach after regretting to promise not do that universal flood thing again (Genesis 9:11). The triune God is a monotheistic God (three in one). Therefore, the message of salvation in the New Testament is: God sent himself to earth to sacrifice himself to resurrect himself in order to save us from ... from whom? From himself.

Back in 2007, Muslim taxi drivers in Minneapolis who believed that to carry scantily clad women or people with alcohol was an affront to Allah and the prophet were told by the city council, that if their faith didn't allow them to carry a legal fare, to get a different job. Perhaps Ms. Davis should do the same.

Or better yet, Kim Davis needs to find a Christian country to move to where there is not separation of church and state, where the church rules and everybody believes in God. Oh wait, we've tried that for over 1,000 years. It was called the Dark Ages.
