A judge is serving and proclaiming they will judge impartially. A government employee and government representative. Quote:
![]() But you fail to recognize that your solution doesn't even address the underlying problem. If we proclaim the above is a problem (when it isn't ![]() Because there are other governmental actions as well. Other actions that a religious governmental employee can proclaim goes against their religion. So we've eliminated one thing from the mix, but there are still OTHER things in the mix. What about the government employee who doesn't want to serve a woman at the DMV for religious reasons? Quote:
They're employed to uphold the constitution. Would you say the same thing if a Muslim judge was consistent with their interpretation of Muslim values? Quote:

The judge was willing to do the ceremony--it was the couple that refused it because the judge always mentions GOD in his ceremonies. Kentucky Judge Refuses to Conduct Secular Wedding Ceremony for Couple There is every reason to believe that the judge would have indeed done it if they hadn't been so hung up on the wording. The issue here is REALLY about whether a judge has to abide by every single aspect of wording of those wanting to get married."She just had one request for County Judge Executive Hollis Alexander: Because she and her fiancé were both non-religious, they didn’t want any mention of God in the ceremony."

Intimating that I was denying it. Otherwise, your comments are boring and meaningless. But to throw your tactic back at you... At least you're now admitting finally that I never said that ministers don't act as officiants of the state, ... ![]() See how stupid these tactics of yours are? ![]()

An anecdote and a possible solution. My first marriage took place in Heidelberg, Germany. Two ceremonies. The first by the German government. That's the only one that legally mattered. The second by a military chaplain. For show only, but a certificate was issued. The Germans didn't give a crap about this one. But it made the parents feel better. |
