Commissioner Karen Miller has sponsored a resolution that both slams the Supreme Court and begs for God to spare the county when He eventually, goes the reasoning of the resolution, destroys America over same sex marriage.

"We adopt this Resolution before God that He pass us by in His Coming Wrath and not destroy our County as He did Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring cities," Miller's proposal reads.

Apparently no one in Blount County government is going the Kim Davis route and actively trying to stop same-sex marriages from taking place. But the resolution makes clear that some in the county feel they're being forced to go along with something that's sinful.

"We adopt this Resolution begging His favor in light of the fact that we have been forced to comply and recognize that the State of Tennessee, like so many other God-fearing States, may have fallen prey to a lawless judiciary in legalizing what God and the Bible expressly forbids" states the resolution.

The resolution also acts as a call to arms for opponents of same sex marriage:

"We the Blount County Legislature call upon all of the Officers of the State of Tennessee, the Governor, the Attorney General, and the members of the Tennessee Legislature, to join us, and utilize all authority within their power to protect Natural Marriage, from lawless court opinions."

The resolution fires away at that "lawless" federal judiciary, accusing federal judges of using "power not delegated to them," alleging the Supreme Court was stepping on states' rights and insisting that "it is high time that the Court be so reminded" that it's there to judge, not legislate.

You guys basically know what my religious beliefs are and even I think this guy is a moron and a disgrace to Christianity.
