Why we have a First Amendment

Theodore F Meyer, III, made statements in his letter of September 27, 2015, that indicates he knows precious little about Christianity, (as expected). Meyer implies that refusing to issue marriage licenses to couples who should not marry fulfills the Kentucky clerk’s “personal commitment to the creator” and “covenant with God”, plus her “right to practice and obey her Christianity.” As if this gross misunderstanding of the teachings of Jesus were not enough, ( No where in the Gospel does Jesus advocate judging others for any reason whatever. No Christian is expected to make a “covenant with God” to deprive people of their basic rights.) Meyer also wants us to “never mind all the verbal exhaust (emphasis mine) about separation of church and state. So now we know why the Bill of Rights starts right off with the First Amendment. It is to protect us from people like the Kentucky clerk and Theodore F. Meyer,III.
