I am always amazed at the number of people who know what God wants them to do. The people from ISIS know Muhammed wants them to destroy archeological treasures. Hindu fundamentalists know that god wants them to kill a scholar who opposes idol worship. And a county clerk in Kentucky knows that God wants her to deny marriage licenses to gay couples.
At times like this I really wish there was a God who could come down from heaven, release some thunderbolts, and intone from a burning bush, “Do your really think you are doing my will, you stupid cow?”
The amazing thing about the Kentucky clerk is that she was married four times, although to only three husbands, one of whom evidently changed his mind and agreed to marry her for the second time. I guess Jesus doesn’t really care much about divorce or multiple bed partners, as long as they are heterosexual.
