If you worked in a grocery store or such, and a customer came through your line wishing to purchase beer, cigarettes and a Playboy magazine would it be acceptable to refuse that customer and still keep your job?
If you say no, then why is this woman's action defensible?

First off you wouldn't look for a job selling porn, cigarettes, and booze.
The women didn't get a job giving licenses to men to marry men. That's the point. The law came after she had been working there. If a Christian had a job in a store which didn't ever sell porn, booze, and cigarettes, then they changed their policy, at that point initially the Christian didn't sign up to sell porn, booze, and cigarettes. So, no one can blame them for not wanting to do those things.

As one poster said...if I applied for the job knowing I would have to sell those things and then refused...it would be my own fault. Same gander marriage was not legal when I began issuing marriage licenses. It has been imposed upon County Clerks and their staff by the federal government.

I don't understand the sudden outcry so many are making against the legality of homosexual marriage, as though it's a worse sin than all the heterosexual marriages based in fornication, adultery, and divorce.
If a county clerk issues a marriage license for a man and woman, he or she thinks it's okay, not knowing and perhaps never realizing the two who came to him or her for the license may be perverted swingers and pornography addicts who get their kicks doing ungodly things in the bedroom.
Fornication in all of its forms, including homosex, are debased acts of unrighteousness. When's the last time any politically motivated believer cried against the sin of the larger picture: wanton lust?
As I see it, the only difference between the two is that one is visible and obvious, i.e. two people of the same physical sex coming into the office for the certificate, whereas the other is invisible and oblivious, even if as much sin and wickedness is present in such an impending marriage.

Evidently the Prophetess has bee quadruple married...
I usually think your posts are wisely written and in a right spirit but I think you are way off here. Whether you agree with her or not, she is taking a stand for something she believes in and seems to be doing it with humility and sincerity.
I understand your sentiment and I'm not saying I disagree with your feelings on state issued marriages, but I don't think your comments are appropriate and personally feel they are below your character.
