The "logic" of Kim Davis' religious freedom...

Spurious Warning.

Orthodox Jew City Clerk Refuses Tax Payments from Uncircumcised Males

PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, a city clerk in the tax collection office of Providence, Rhode Island announced his religious beliefs would not allow him to process any tax payments from uncircumcised males. Seth Weiss, an Orthodox Jew, invited all male residents of Providence to bring him a doctor's note stating they were circumcised, or take advantage of his offer of a "complimentary circumcision" if they wanted to pay their taxes and avoid non-payment penalties.

And...

"...Please don't send me pictures, as they cannot be confirmed."

1. Oh, another parody, I've been gotcha'ed.

[Fred Sanders]

2. This has to be a joke, right? No one is that stupid....this beats even the Kentucky clerk's stupid.

Repeat after me:

Secular state.

Rule of law.

Repeat.

[Scootaloo]

3. It's a satire news site

But how does it beat the KY clerk's stupid? It's the exact same logic.

8. Yep, but probably not too far off from what some loony would like to do! n/t

[Fred Sanders]

10. Got it! My follow up question then - not to you - Why the inflammatory headline and coy disclaimer? Mr Poster?

4. It's from America's most swell news source.

We often see stories from America's Finest news source: www.theonion.com

[EEO]

5. I have just noted it is spurious news.

6. As far as I can tell from a quick search it's only showing up on DU and the corresponding link.

I think it's a joke, much like one the other day. If it's for real, I'm going in the bunker and lock the doors!

7. What if Kim Davis had been Muslim rather than Christian and had refused to issue the licences

as contrary to Sharia Law. What would her supporters have said?

[EEO]

9. They would be calling for her to resign and be apocalyptically angry.

Pretty sure they don't care much for the Muslims.

[RKP5637]

11. I was just thinking the same this morning. They would have had to back her, religious

freedom and all of that! ... always been a problem with religion, people wanting to force their beliefs on others.

12. Not sure a Muslim marriage clerk elected in Kentucky would have many supporters. Or be elected.

What if a Catholic marriage clerk refused to issue the marriage license because of firmly held religious belief in Maria Law, as written by the Pope, is a better analogy.

13. And that's not even a hypothetical - in Islamic states, they do this.

They refuse to issue driver's licenses to women, based upon religious dogma.

[Scootaloo]

14. Saudi Arabia is not every Muslim nation.

It's not, for instance, Jordan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan, Lebanon, the UAE, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, or Malaysia, all of which are Muslim nations that have no problem with women being behind the wheel.

[closeupready]

15. I'm not bickering with you today.

Bye-bye!

[Scootaloo]

19. have a nice day!

[Fred Sanders]

18. All true! Yet it is radical extremist Saudi that is BFF of America.....a huge paradox.

[Mass]

17. But in the countries you are talking of, it is the law. Kim Davis is breaking the law.

as for drivers' licenses, all Islamic nations do not have such restrictions.

20. So someone should ask Fox "News" what they think about it

[Gothmog]

16. I love good satire
