To prove what? That your reply to my post was a rambling, idiotic statement? I think not. Move along.
Is America heading for theocracy?

And your statement is a logical fallacy because it is ad hominem. When people run out of arguments, you result in attacking the person because you don't have anything worth an argument.
Not to mention disjointed and incoherent....

Yeah, that's the reason why they can't answer questions or arguments in the post.
I'll let them save face instead of answer questions from someone that doesn't apparently know enough.

Lol, that is rich, YOU didn't even know she was a county clerk and not a town clerk, but you go on with your bad, confused, ignorant, and lying self.

I was referencing our city which was my town.
And calling people names in interpersonal communication is called abusive and not passive or assertive communication. I took English Interpersonal Communication. It usually means that you don't have any ideas in order to defend your argument so you resort to name calling or whatever. Your argument is weak there so you have to make up for it some way.
I'm glad you were so intelligent to notice that but not intelligent enough to make out cryptic communication or rambling communication in order to converse.
huh??

YOU ARE A LIAR!!!!!! You are a fraud!!! But you are amusing in a "Three Stooges Tries to Understand Religion and Politics" kind of way. Everyone has at least one redeeming quality, you can serve as a perfectly good example on how to be a liar, fraud, and an idiot.

It's in a Religion thread.
My point was that such attitudes are exactly how you get to a theocracy. The conversation about the clerk doesn't really become a conversation about theocracy until you start saying that you get to ignore any interpretation of the law your religion disagrees with. That all interpretations are Gods. That way, as I noted, lies theocracy. You can base your life choices on what you interpret to be Gods way all day long, but once you start making choices for ME based on that, we are going the wrong direction. I've spent enough time in a country where the religion rules, and it's a pretty scary place.

There are two separate issues here.
(1) If Christian morality can't be taught then whose morality can be taught?
(2) The sin of man was that he wanted to become God so instead of the right God being on the throne, your gods are on the throne making morality decisions.

Of course almost any theology can be taught. But you can't forcibly teach me your morality. Or use your morality to decide what services the state offers, why we have laws and not edicts. In school? why certainly there are schools that teach Christian morality all day long, even here in the Sticks of St Mary's there are what, two or three?
Hmmm, maybe I don't want your God on my throne? Or even my God, of which you know nothing, so just because I reject you saying your God should be in charge of my morality, don't assume that the secular leaders of this nation are my gods. I am in charge of my own morality, thanks. Again, you want to live in a country where God decides, I have a list.

I remember the US in the 50's when more people when to church and the scripture was read every morning before or after the pledge of allegiance. Life got a whole lot harder when that stopped.
I understand what you mean though. I wouldn't want someone from Islam telling me what to believe.
I still say if I were in Ms. Davis's position, I would be jailed as well. Some people force the issue by going to that little courthouse from 100's of miles away just to make her give them a license. It's not the locals.... in this case... it's the radicals.... and in that case.... well I would have told them to go back where they came from and get their licenses there.

Then whose morality do we teach?

You teach your morality to whoever will freely listen to you, otherwise, if you teach it or try to teach it to everyone, it's a theocracy. Aren't you college educated? Don't you know what theocracy is?

Show me where I said America is a theocracy or should be a theocracy. I never used those words.

And that goes back to my point with my "Who are we". If you mean you as an individual, you teach yours, as noted, to whomever wants to listen, but not at work, nor do you use a gov't or elected position to teach others by deciding what service they may be provided. If you mean we as a society, well, that's a bit tricky because society is larger than your morality, and imposing yours on others, well, that's theocracy.
