I
am not surprised by the media attention that a Rowan
County clerk, in the State of Kentucky, USA,
Her name is Kim Davis.
When all is said and done, her actions are not an issue of whether or not
she is violating a Supreme Court order that gay marriage is supposedly now legal in the
United States of America.
Or whether or not gay marriage is actually even
legal, because at the time of this writing the US Congress has officially not made it law yet.
The real
issue behind this media frenzy is that someone who believes in Jesus
Christ has refused to grant marriage licenses to same sex couples.
Look at all the media attention this woman is getting; listen to the
hosts and commentators on CNN, MSNBC, and even Fox News.
They talk about how she is
violating the Supreme Court decision to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples
which is a valid discussion in itself, but some of them are using this as an
opportunity to throw their jabs in concerning her faith.
They judge her faith insisting she is not
pure, because she has been married numerous times and has children from
different fathers.
This is a knock against her recent
conversion to faith in Jesus Christ.
Some call for
her quick and immediate release from her duties as county clerk, saying she is a government employee, and that she must obey the law rather than her
conscience and her faith.
Even though the Congress has not enacted same sex
marriage into law.
These pompous media blowhards are calling for the resignation of this city clerk who is really not
breaking the marriage laws in the state of Kentucky anyway.
Gay marriage
is against Kentucky public policy in 2015, even to the level if a gay couple is married
in another state and then chooses to reside in Kentucky their marriage not
recognized by the laws of the State; therefore their marriage
is null and void (1).
This is what society has become.
Does a government official just turn their conscience on and off like a light
switch?
Is this what society wants?
When the voters elect a government official, like Kim Davis, do they not realize that they bring with them their conscience and their faith into their
duly appointed office?
Remember, in 2015, gay marriage is against public policy in the state of Kentucky.
Society can sometimes be so naïve.
If a community does not want a Christian
person as their elected representative, like a city clerk, than they should not vote them into office.
If you do not want a Muslim as your political representative
than do not vote them into office.
People bring into their political office their talents and abilities, but they do not check their conscience at the door.
What
Kim Davis did my refusing to grant marriage licenses to same sex partners is
not the real issue here.
The real issue is that a Christian
woman is refusing to grant marriage licenses to gay couples.
If Kim Davis happened to be a Muslim would the media even be covering this story?
Muslims are against gay marriage.
Try not to forget the facts in this story.
The US Supreme Court decides in June that they are going to make gay marriage legal in the United States, even thought the Supreme Court cannot make laws but only enforce them.
The Congress is the only lawmaking body in the US.
In Canada, the Supreme Court thinks they can make laws too, but it is only the Parliament, the Senate and House of Commons, who can legally make laws in Canada.
So when this unlawful decision by the US Supreme Court makes the nightly news some in the gay community think that it is okay for them to get legally married in Kentucky, even though State policy says it is not legal.
Instead of the main stream media using their communication power to report the news responsibly they go headstrong and report a narrative of homophobia, against a woman who not only is following her conscience but obeying public policy in the state she serves.
I can tell you, if Kim Davis was a Muslim this story would not even be in the news right now; let alone a top story all over the world.
The people who sued her would have thought twice before
suing a Muslim woman, and the judge who incarcerated her without bail would
have run away from this issue with his tail between his legs.
Instead of acting so high and mighty.
If a Muslim woman denied a marriage license to same sex couples in the state of Kentucky the story would be buried on some producers desk, but because a Christian woman has denied the marriage license it is an opportunity for the world to do some more Christian bashing.
The media is demanding that Kim Davis resign her position not just because she is denying marriage licenses to same sex couples, but because she is a Christian woman denying same sex couples marriage certificates.
The media believes that a Christian cannot impose her faith in this legal case even though she is not technically breaking any state laws. She is following her conscience which is actually in line with Kentucky law.
Wait and see
when the first Muslim person refuses to grant some similar public
service because of their faith in Islam.
Will they pounce on the Muslim like a hungry
lion like they are this Christian woman?
You can be sure
they do not.
