Dear Fred,

Thanks for your email.

I agree with the shell of your argument but, in this instance, not its substance.

The Kim Davises of the world will not be "stomped out." 

Rather, a public servant's refusal to provide public service will come to an end.

Either public servants discharge their duties as public servants, or they quit public service jobs (if discharge doesn't come first).

For non-performing public servants job severance is non-negotiable.

Theologically and politically, the following argument is at least as strong as the case Ms. Davis is trying to make.

Theologically and scripturally it makes more sense to "keep marriages together" -- not giving people a second chance at marriage if they blow the first one -- than to prevent two people who love one another from ritualizing a life-long commitment.

Proponents of gay marriage pursue total victory and 100 percent compliance. This is never a good idea, for any movement. Sensible people quit at 98 percent and call the rest a sampling error..

You speak often of the dangers of absolutism -- well, we see it at work here.

Attempts to stamp out the likes of Kim Davis will backfire. I guarantee it
