[Faith-talk] Fw: Mayor to Christian employee 'You're fired!'

Sat Jan 10 05:08:00 UTC 2015

This is just so wrong and ridiculous! The mayor deserves to be 
fired.
We are much too secular these days.  If you have school off for 
Good Friday, they just call it a religious holiday.
I usually don't feel comfortable talking about my religious 
beliefs at school, it often starts some weird debate.  We should 
be open about our religious beliefs and not be judged for them 
whereever we go.

Dear Supporter,

Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran was fired from his job this 
week by
the mayor because of his Christian views on marriage.

After serving a one-month suspension for writing a book 
expressing sex
outside marriage (including homosexuality) as sinful, Chief 
Cochran
faced the wrath of homosexual activists and Atlanta mayor Kasim 
Reed
and was publicly chastised and summarily fired from his position.

Chief Cochran, a devoted Christian, wrote a short book, a portion 
of
which conveys the biblical view of homosexuality.  He gave copies 
of the
book, Who Told You That You Were Naked? (published in November 
2013),
to a few co-workers he knew to be strong Christians â€“ but three 
city
employees also received a copy without asking for one.

Chief Cochran said he referenced homosexuality on less than half 
a page
in the 160-page book.

According to OneNewsNow

r
and other news sources, the mayor was praised by openly 
homosexual
councilman Alex Wan for terminating Chief Cochran.

"When you're a city employee, and [your] thoughts, beliefs and 
opinions
are different from the city's, you have to check them at the 
door." â€“
Councilman Alex Wan

"I want to be clear that the material in Chief Cochran's book is 
not
representative of my personal beliefsâ€¦" â€“ Atlanta Mayor Kasim 
Reed.

For his Christian faith, he was fired from his job.

TAKE ACTION

A Chr istian brother is facing anti-Christian bigotry at its 
worst.  The
mayor and a councilman have shown their intolerance and hatred 
toward a
person of faith, and have proved they are willing to take revenge
against anyone who doesn't embrace the pro-homosexual lifestyle.

Will you stand with Chief Kelvin Cochran by taking the following 
actions?
