Sheriff Office Bans Employees From Cohabitation Unless "You're Married According To The Word Of God"

Sheriff’s Office Bans Employees From Cohabitation Unless “You’re Married According To The Word Of God”

From the sheriff of North Carolina’s Scotland County:

Effective immediately! The policy has been changed in reference to Cohabitation. The policy change will be distributed on Monday. It will be prohibited for you to live with another while employed at the Scotland County Sheriff’s Office unless you are officially married according to the law and word of God, sisters, brothers, or family by blood. This shall not apply to those whom are currently cohabitating. However, if your current relationship with the other party should cease, you will comply with the new policy change. Thank you, Sheriff.

The banner image for the sheriff’s official Facebook page reads “In God We Trust.”

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is already on it.

This sheriff is letting you know you will get fired if somebody finds out you are boinking your roommate. If not married to them.

Edit: Nvm i reread it. Roommates platonic or not are strictly prohibited.

"blood or marriage" leaves out an adopted child.

This idiot needs an expensive lesson in tolerance.

Seems like a lot of running room there, not that I'm guessing any employees at this sheriff's office will gleefully comply with a full-on Satanic wedding. Of course, there might be a few Odinists who feel Jesus wasn't sufficiently white, floating around Scotland Counth or thereabouts, wonder what the Sheriff makes of that?

Christians always manage to make an exception for that particular violation of the Big Ten.

Homosexual sex = Bad!
Sex before marriage = Bad!
Adultery by Jesus's definition = Just fucking dandy!

Possibly not Inanna. She would kick his ass if he wasn't such a useless and insignificant flea.

I'm glad the Freedom From Religion Foundation is on it. Somebody has got to save these pathetic fools from themselves.

They just don't get it. The separation of church and state *protects* whatever pathetic splinter of Christianity he belongs to, it's not an impediment to it.
