If your “faith” prevents you from doing your public service job, get a different job.
Separation of church and state!
Also get a different faith.
It's so weird to see when I see members of one marginalized group further marginalizing another marginalized group rather than having solidarity.
2 women who marched for racial justice now will get to deliver it as Syracuse City Court judges
Shadia Tadros, 39, a first-generation Arab-American, and Felicia Pitts Davis, 52, a Black woman with parents from the Deep South, say they are arriving with a mandate: The status quo is over.
In the year of marches to address systemic racism in the justice system, they stand with the peaceful protesters. They marched, too.
Tadros and Davis — who point out they are different people with different backgrounds — share some goals on how they want to change the justice system.
Absolutely.
Is she doing it because she is Christian, because then she should also know the Bible endorses slavery.
It's insane that people still hold any value to that old piece of shit book. Also remember to stone your neighbors if they are gathering wood on a Saturday.
The Bible endorses abortion
Let's not pretend most Christians have even read the Bible, let alone understand or follow it.
Yes absolutely, that's the most crazy part. A method of abortion where the woman is at high risk of dying!
But that only "proves" she was guilty of adultery!
Christians are insane IMO.
As a pro-choice guy, where in the Bible is this little gold nugget?
It's true on a technicality. The idea was if a woman is accused of adultery, they had her drink magical abortion water, and it would only work if she had actually cheated.
I'm not sure what you mean "on a technicality" instead of merely "It is true".
I'd say "technically" because there's no such thing as magical water and because this is only a ceremony to give an appearance of leaving it up to divinity, not a way for people to actually have an abortion. This doesn't look to me like it helps pro-choice arguments at all since anyone arguing the other side is going to be able to say, "See, it's in God's hands."
Numbers 5 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”
It's in response to a woman being unfaithful to her husband.
Of course, in reality the concoction does nothing, but the point of the Bible passage is literally an abortion.
It's less weird than you might imagine. Bigotry is interesting that way, especially when religion and worldview comes into play. Most religious folks that are anti-lgbt will decry other forms of bigotry.
Humans are consistently inconsistent this way. 😏
It's so telling that these religious nut jobs never use their "deeply held beliefs" to feed, house, comfort, protect, and uplift those they are charged with governing.
Food and house for me not thee
Now someone trace back which republican donor group is propping her up to use this as fodder to ride up to the corrupted Supreme Court?
This play is so obvious. The judge wants to be sued or reprimanded or removed to get the matter to the SCOTUS just so they can rule that gay people can't get married if any official involved in the process objects on religious grounds.
She’s a public servant. If she won’t serve the public, then she can GTFO.
So throw her off the bench for gross incompetence and failure to perform her sworn duties. Simple.
These religious nutjobs like to living and choose what parts of the Bible they'll follow when it's convenient. Apply their Christian principles to lending money.
Okay... My religion says I can't make my quota?.. I get fired. Public fucking servant?! That's tax dollars ffs!
And they’ll get a stern talking to.
Pretty weird for the judge to let their shitty religion decide how love works between two consenting adults.
