Again, nearly all the behavior Surtur or whoever cited to brand Kim Davis a "skanky cheater", or "hypocrite", or what have you, occurred BEFORE she became markedly religious.

2008 being the year of her most recent divorce.

2011 the year of her religious conversion.

You DO realize surtur is not going to make this distinction, right?

so she's only been a saint for 4 years is what you're saying

she hasn't earned her stripes yet

she's been a saint for about as long as OJ simpson has

so she needs to step aside as clerk and let someone who has the ability to actually do the job take her place

Okay so she is a skanky cheater. Conversion or no conversion. Not sure what being a skank has to do with religion. Skanks can be religious or non religious.

She is also still a hypocrite. Cheats, divorces, has kids out of wed lock, etc. but then suddenly decides now she is religious and now she has to take a stand?

Nope, still a hypocrite really. "I can act like a piece of shit, but once I convert suddenly I can judge others and try to determine how they should live their lives."

So your only response is closing your ears and screaming, "nope"?

No, my response is "chick is still a hypocrite".

Yes, despite the evidence presented to you, it's equivalent to you screaming "no"

But that isn't any evidence suggesting she isn't a hypocrite though.

She acted like a piece of shit, found religion, and suddenly thought this gave her the right to judge others, etc.

Yet I'm sure if her transgressions were brought up to her she'd spout some stupid bullshit like "oh I wasn't religious then" as an excuse.

You have to have evidence she was a hypocrite before we are supposed to present evidence that she isn't. It doesn't seem that there's evidence of hypocrisy here.

Dude this isn't a damn court of law it is an internet forum. This comes down to the realm of opinion really and yeah, in my opinion this woman is a hypocrite.

I mean I even explained why in my mind she is still a hypocrite. You certainly don't have to like it or agree..that is your prerogative.

It's a forum for debate and opinion is meaningless unless it's backed up by an argument. I think Taylor Swift is god but I can't prove it.

Actually no..you seem confused. This *is* about opinion. I didn't begin a discussion about her being a hypocrite as a form of a debate, but rather the sharing of an opinion in a topic that wasn't specifically created to debate whether or not she is hypocritical.

If you are looking to specifically debate someone on the subject I'm sure you could create a topic and find someone willing to participate.

Everyone here is proving you wrong with facts, yet your response is "well this is my opinion", so it's no wonder we disregard it.

i would say that it's not necessarily hypocritical to change your ways and then condemn behavior that you used to engage in

if we go by that standard then former gang members that speak out against gang violence are hypocrites

i will say however that she is being obnoxious, hypocrite or no. so i really have no sympathy for her.

if you decide you want to adhere to some religious standard then that's fine. when you abuse your power to force that standard on others then you become obnoxious.

just like it's fine if a muslim or a jew wants to not eat pork. a muslim or jew who is hired to a deli and then refuses to slice my ham is being obnoxious though.

so i'm glad she got in trouble for her bs

But you haven't provided any facts that prove me wrong. I even explained why I still found it hypocritical.

So again: it's fine if you want to disregard it. Who cares?

I'm sorry, but this isn't middle school when you yell out a bunch of nonsense and then say, "prove me wrong." That's not how this works. It was explained to you the woman's marriage situation and how, if accurate, it doesn't portray her as a hypocrite. You simply responded with "nope, still a hypocrite".

But see to me it's totally hypocritical and this is again why I say it comes down to opinion.

Let me give you an example. This skank is a cheater. Okay, she finds religion. Now, if she wants to use that to say "Because of my beliefs I will never ever cheat again" then FINE super awesome. But if she were to go to another cheating female and be condemning her and judging her for shit she did before? That is hypocritical.

You might say "but she isn't condemning people for doing what she did" but she still feels that because she has now found religion it gives her the right to dictate what others should do or how they should live their lives.

That is hypocritical to me, if you want to use religion to fix up your own life fine.

But again: I gave reasons why I felt she is still a hypocrite. It is irrelevant whether or not you agree. If this isn't middle school please stop behaving in a manner that suggests you do not know this.

See, your entire argument boils down to "I hate religion so I'm going to be emotional about it even when I'm wrong."

No, my argument boils down to what I just said and the reasons I still believe she is a hypocrite.
