I don't know if she should be jailed but rather fired. If you refuse to do your job anywhere else you can be fired but this has to be a criminal investigation for no real reason.
Courts have continuously ordered her to grant marriage licenses to any and all who seek one and she refused. Judge knew others would pay her legal fees and fines so she would not suffer any financial burden. Judge asked if others in her office could issue licenses without her approval and she still refused. Judge had no choice (at this moment) but to have her placed behind bars until she allows her office to issue marriage licenses with her there. She is claiming (via her lawyer) that the issued licenses on Friday are invalid. It's a shame it's come to this point. In the end, love always wins.
She can and will easily be impeached, as she has abused her position and disobeyed a lawful order. I suspect by the end of the month she will either be forced to resign or flat out removed from office.
Well she's well on her way to pissing off enough people I imagine, I mean if I lived in that general area I would be speaking up and I'm not even affected by it since I have no desire to marry anyone in a nutshell though she really has not moral standing for her actions anyway. she's been married and divorced what 4 times I think, she's pretty much already pissed on the biblical definition of marriage and if she wants to go by biblical terms she should technically be buried up to her neck and hit with rocks.
I don't support gay marriage. However, this country has decided that it is an okay thing, and as such, she is required to either follow the rules or step down from her position. You're not being brave for refusing to compromise your beliefs if there exists a way to put yourself in a position where you don't have to compromise them.
There is a court official (I believe in Georgia? Could be wrong.) who is refusing to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples. In previous years, there was nothing we could do about that. However, because it is now the law in the U.S., she MUST award marriage licenses to same-sex couples. She is refusing. That's illegal. Make sense?
I hate the way all Christians are deemed "bad" and "intolerant" based on this one person

No, she is not forcing others to follow her religion by not granting them marriage licenses, she is just not providing them a service because she is practicing her religion, she was jailed for that.
so does that mean infertile couples and couples who choose not to have babies are also an abomination? BURN IN HELL JOE AND TAMMY FOR NOT MAKING BABIES. am i doing it right?

They are not doing anything that is an abomination. Its not a mandatory thing that people who cant have children have children.
Is that potato's words or the Catholic words? Because that sounds an awful lot like what I've heard through the Catholic teachings.

In any case...
Do we acknowledge that there's a helluva lot more people on earth? Probably enough that we should stop banging babies out at such a rapid rate?
well thats sure not being fruitful and multiplying. im confused now, so the bible says its ok to not have babies if you dont want them, but if you cant have them its sacrilege? because this still sounds infertile people should still also be banned from marrying, or participating in sexual activities. doesnt the bible have something to say about having sex if its not with the intent to make a baby? that makes having sex with your wife after menopause a sin too doesnt it? something along the lines of not wasting your seed? does the bible say its ok to pick and choose which parts you can ignore and which parts you can apply to your job? thou shalt only obey the pages that protect you against things you find icky?

No, I agree with no sex unless its baby sex. When I said we need less babies I mean we need to stop having sex and then killing fetuses and the ones we dont kill we give away.
I think that was only in the Old Testament.

I argue that nothing in the Old Testament can be used as arguments for or against Christianity except the 10 Commandments. This is because all those old laws weren't to keep people from sinning, but to keep them from dying. Think about it. Don't eat pig. Why? Because they were fed the leftover slop and rolled in mud and feces and all sorts of stuff. So don't eat them because who knows what they're contaminated with. But nowadays it's all good because we breed pigs specifically for eating. Don't have sex during a period. Because there's blood everywhere and it's unsanitary and something could happen. Now we have *more* sanitary conditions as a general rule. It's still weird, but it's not as dangerous.

Sex is for babymaking, what danger could that p- oh, STDs.
My grandfather (a Catholic) was married four times and only one of those marriages resulted in children. Did he live in sin during the other three? Marriage is not a license to have children. People have children out of wedlock all the time. Do they deserve our scorn and ridicule? No. If you view sex as wicked and bad, that's entirely your opinion. People have consensual sex all the time for recreational purposes with a loved one or a hook-up and that doesn't make it a bad thing.
With gay couples, they want to receive a marriage certificate to make their love for each other known and not hide in shame. Granting them the license won't grant them the right to start having relations (hint, they already were beforehand). Married gay couples can legally adopt children and raise them and there is no credible research saying this home environment is harmful to the children. The definition of marriage is fluid. Always has been, always will be. I dare you to look a gay couple straight (no pun intended) in the eye and tell them their love for each other is not valid. Tell them they can't visit their sick spouse in the hospital. Tell them they can't inherit their deceased spouse's belongings. Tell them they don't deserve happiness.

Gay people can love eachother but gay sex is an abomination.
First marriage was an amicable divorce. Second marriage ended in her death. Third marriage was, again, amicable divorce. The fourth and final marriage ended in her death.
Damn, son. You have some serious issues. That has nothing to do with the topic at hand. But allow me to explain it. I love my father and mother for caring for me and raising me to adulthood. That's the emotional love a child shares with their parents. I love my wife for supporting me during the good and the bad and have a healthy physical relationship with her. Those are two different loves. If you don't see the difference in that, I'm afraid you need to do some serious soul searching and ask the psychiatrist why your parents never hugged you as a child.
What everyone is lacking here is context.
Suppose a father and his 21 year old consenting daughter want to be married, should they? Does the idea of a father and his adult daughter having sex make you feel a little queasy, does it feel 'wrong', to you? Now imagine people labeling you a bigot for feeling that way.
Welcome to how many people view homosexuality.
The funny thing is that humankind knows no limit to it's kinks. As we speak, there are those with money and power who are tired of hiding their deviant perversity and will seek to have it accepted by society. Soon, there will be campaigns advocating bestiality, necrophilia, and incest; and it will be done in the name of love and progress.
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue. That homosexuality is bad? So is divorce but we still do it. So is vanity but look at all these shitty children beauty pagents. So is idolatry but look at fucking Pastafarianism.
Incest is rape, it's sex without consent, it's coercion.....homosexuality is two CONSENTING ADULTS in a mutual relationship. The fact your using this as an example shows your ignorance. Enjoy those straws your clutching, you won't have them for long.
Are...you serious. Let me get text book on your ass. A parent is in a position of power, they are bestowed with the welfare of their child. Incest is a long drawn out process of grooming, it's a breaking of bonds and trust, it's is an abuse of power. It...is....always....rape. shame on you, go educate yourself before you inflict yourself on the human race.
Boy, did this go off the rails. You don't need a license to have sex with anyone or anything. A marriage license allows two people to share their belongings and visit each other in the hospital. And mostly make their love valid.

That depends on your faith does it not?
Is he living in sin starting from the end of the second?
