If you type Kim into Google, the first suggestion is Kim Davis; Kim Kardashian comes in second. (And I thought she was bad enough.)

In case anyone doubts Davis' support of heterosexual marriage:

Let's give her the benefit of the doubt; maybe she is just trying to save others from terrible marriages? Uh no, I don't believe that for a second. She's just another religious hypocrite who is too busy judging others to notice her faults.

I do not support what she is doing, I think she is violating her oath of office. However, I think that statement is unfair. She did notice her own faults and has attempted to change her life by accepting Jesus Christ as her personal savior. You may not agree with that choice, but calling her "a religious hypocrite" because of behavior which she took steps to correct suggests that you do not believe people can change, and that they should always be judged by their pasts. And that is wrong.

I'm with >3 lilithcat:.

Davis's professional position is sufficiently untenable that ad hominem attacks based on her personal life are unnecessary.

>3 lilithcat:: "You may not agree with that choice, but calling her "a religious hypocrite" because of behavior which she took steps to correct suggests that you do not believe people can change, and that they should always be judged by their pasts."

The problem here is that her present behavior still isn't consistent with what she claims to believe, as the Westboro Baptist Church (of all people) have pointed out.

According to Jesus Christ, her lord and savior, people who get divorced because they're guilty of infidelity can't remarry -- to do so would be adulterous.

Davis may have been forgiven her prior sins, but I believe part of that deal is "go and sin no more". In order to fulfill that condition, shouldn't she be at least separated from husband 4?

As long as she's still married to him, she's living in adultery and still sinning. So yeah, she's a religious hypocrite.

She can't be fired; the position is an elective post. The voters can reject her, or she can be impeached. Impeaching her would be a political nightmare. And a bunch of foreigners have come into the county criticizing one of their own. No matter what the voters might think of her position on same-sex marriage, it's unlikely they're going to vote her out.

No she cannot be fired... She could be jailed (and was)... but it is quite true she is a hypocrite... As are all religious people to some degree ( and truthfully all the rest of us as well in a different way). The problem with any religion is that it is impossible to follow all of the edicts without contradicting others. So, like Mrs. Davis all religious followers pick and choose what suites their already preconceived ideas and beliefs and ignore the stuff they don't like (such as Jesus explicitly states that remarrying is adultery). And here's my favorite part... They then claim THEY are following the true words of god and that other sects are off the path.
