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

Mon Jan 12 20:26:29 UTC 2015

Hi
It's sad because we live in a place where we should be able to express 
opinions however,  opinions which follow the Kingdom of God are resisted by 
the world and we live in the world.

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 – 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
<http://sv.afasv.net:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0xJmF1aWQ%209Jm1haWxpbmdpZD0xNzY0MyZtZXNzYWdlaWQ9MTY1MDImZGF0YWJhc2VpZD00MzAyJnNlcmlhbD0xNjc4MDA4MyZlbWFpbGlkPWJldGhrYXRzQHNhbW9iaWxlLm5ldCZ1c2VyaWQ9MjI3MzAyNjQ1MDEwJnRhcmdldGlkPSZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&2002&&&http://www.onenewsnow.com/culture/2015/01/08/christian-expresses-biblical-worldview-gets-sacked-by-mayor>
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." –
Councilman Alex Wan

"I want to be clear that the material in Chief Cochran's book is not
representative of my personal beliefs…" – 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.
