It's interesting that in the wake of the GoFundMe refusal, some people are still trying to raise money for Kim Davis' cause. Ironically, Liberty Counsel is operating pro bono and there was no fine. The money begs are not coming from God's Ambulance Chasers either. Opportunists lurk in the wings of this drama.

Kim Davis - The Face Of Christianity?

Faithful America:

The religious right is already doing its best to turn her into a martyr. Mike Huckabee is on TV insisting that this represents the "criminalization of Christianity" and "bowing to the false God of judicial supremacy."
The sad truth is that right now, Kim Davis is the public face of Christianity in America. This is no longer just about marriage equality -- it's about whether being a Christian and being a bigot are one and the same.

So is it greed, righteous arrogance or plain old born-again zealotry that is guiding Kim Davis' course?

Maybe it's all three.

*When considering a fine, Judge Bunning:

He said he didn't believe fining Davis would convince her to comply with the high court ruling, especially considering that Davis had testified earlier that her supporters are raising funds for her and calling her office to offer financial support, WKYT reported.
