alex_antoninTo the people supporting Kim Davis in her illegal refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses: Okay, she's just a "good Christian woman" doing right by her beliefs, eh?
Okay, let's take this rhetorical situation: A person is hired to a position to teach abstinence-only sex education, but their religious beliefs tell them that only proper sex education should be taught, so they teach proper sex education and get fired. If you support Kim Davis, you should support that person too, or you're a hypocrite.
Or someone is hired to be a prison guard, but as it turns out, prisons are against their religious beliefs and they release the prisoners. If you support Kim Davis, you should support that person too, or you're a hypocrite.
If it's against her beliefs to do that job, she needs to QUIT. You wouldn't expect a Jew to work a job tasting pork for a living, or a Quaker working at a gun licensing desk, so why are you supporting a woman whose beliefs conflict with the job she took an oath to uphold? If she can't abide by that oath, she can either quit or suffer the consequences of being an oathbreaker.
