Kim Davis: God Chose Me To Stand Against Gay Marriage

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/kim-davis-god-chose-me-stand-against-gay-marriage

Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who became a Religious Right hero last year when she tried to stop issuing marriage licenses in the wake of the Supreme Court’s marriage equality decision, told an American Family Radio host that she was chosen by God to fight gay marriage.

On Friday, American Family Radio host and American Family Association official Sandy Rios broadcast an interview that she had conducted with Davis, in which she lavished praise on Davis for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. "It's interesting to me how God chose you," Rios said. "Not a Sunday school teacher, not a Republican, not the standard — this is like God, this is so like God, so he chose you."

Davis said that she considered it "a joy to be chosen, to make a stand and to defend my God's word, the infallible word of God."

"You were chosen, Kim," Rios agreed. "I know that. God picked you, plucked you out."


I thought god didn't make mistakes.

God killed millions of people. Satan only killed 10 and those were on a bet with god.

Most people would think they were completely fucking nuts.

But if your neighbor thinks gay marriage is destroying the fabric of society, most people just consider them pious.

Satan unravels God's plans for the universe with a few words...
I think Satan would have chosen a more... persausive messenger than Kim if he wan... wait a minute...

Of course Satan told Kim to speak against marriage equality, it's a shoe-in now.

You're a grown adult who believes that an imaginary sky ghost is going to make your life better; while, coincidentally smiting the people and groups YOU deem "sinful" . . . because somehow that just all worked itself out, right??

Can I ask something?

Why is this woman being given press?

Are we an evolved country?

[font size = "3"]You sure could have fooled me, because we're treating some dumbass who imagines that a supernatural being from a book of mythology spoke to her to stand against legal and due human rights as a serious commentator on cultural phenomena. She's nothing but a hateful bleating sheep strapped to a dying patriarchal bigoted agenda that needs to be locked up for breaking the law because her fairy tale deity told her to![/font]

IS EVERYONE HERE GODDAMNED NUTS OR SOMETHING??? COME ON!!
