Let's assume that these clerks are the denomination of Christian that feels gay marriage is wrong. I have not yet met a Christian of this stripe who feels that people who are faiths other than their own are on the path to what is holy. So if they're logical and thinking human beings, how can they sign off Rob Mattheunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542449.post-12058995461630721302015-07-03T08:46:48.368-04:002015-07-03T08:46:48.368-04:00Martin,
