But I would add the church and state aspect of the Kim Davis episode does make it even more different.
Yeah, the Kim Davis thing is a shit show from top to bottom. This is actually one of the reasons you won't find any of the more conservative anabaptists holding office. They won't take an oath, that's a part of their faith. Part of it is because they see it as inherently against their religion, but the other part for some of the more modern ones is that their oath to God is the strongest oath they have, and so it would be dishonest if they were to hold public office and swear to uphold man's laws when their faith dictate's they uphold the laws of God over all others.
