A moral and righteous Kentucky county clerk who follows the moral laws of God and categorical imperative of Kant was taken into custody for refusing on religious grounds to issue marriage licenses to homosexuals. Like the late civilian rights activist Rosa Parks, Kim Davis has paid a price for taking a moral stand.
There is no question that Kim Davis has followed the correct Christian scriptural teaching as we find in the book of Romans and elsewhere homosexuality condemned as sin. It is a shame that the U.S. Government has taken anti-Christian positions needlessly, yet it seemed to wish to do so. Judicial workers follow the lead of the fuhrers of the high court rather than taking moral stands for-themselves as in this instance.
The Judge did violate Davis' civilian rights-she is not a slave and can refuse to perform any given task. Probably her superiors could dismiss her from employment eventually and replace her with a sycophant of sin. Even so the Judge has made an unlawful arrest and Davis probably should pursue litigation.

The Westminister Confession of Faith article 20 states-2. God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men, which are, in anything, contrary to his Word; or beside it, if matters of faith, or worship. l So

The
liberty we have in Jesus Christ is to God alone-that, to believe such
doctrines, or to obey such commands, out of conscience, is to betray
true liberty of conscience: and the requiring of an implicit faith,
and an absolute and blind obedience, is to destroy
liberty of conscience, and reason also."
