Allstate fires manager for Christian beliefs concerning homosexuality

[ICE-FLYER]

Allstate has fired a manager because he expressed his Christian beliefs concerning homosexuality. Matt Barber was a manager in Allstate's Corporate Security Division. On his own time, and without identifying himself as an employee of Allstate, he wrote a column posted on several websites which was critical of same-sex marriage.

An outside homosexual group complained to Allstate about the column. Because of their support for the homosexual agenda, Barber was immediately fired and ushered off company property.

The message is clear: To work for Allstate one must not publicly express their Christian belief in the Bible's teaching on homosexuality. Barber was fired because he did. Homosexuals can criticize and condemn the Bible's teaching and they are welcomed, but Christians must remain silent.

TAKE ACTION

Allstate has sent a message to all their agents: If you are a Christian and believe the Bible's teaching on homosexuality, you will be fired. While Allstate touts its diversity, that diversity does not include Christian beliefs on homosexuality.

First, send Allstate Chairman Edward M. Liddy an email to register your complaint demanding both a public apology and reinstatement for Mr. Barber with back pay. Then call your local Allstate agent and tell him or her you will not be purchasing any insurance from them.

Email Allstate Chairman Liddy Now!

Sincerely,

Even in today's liberal (vile) atmosphere.

First it's free speach. Next thing ya know it'll be property rights.
ahhh... wait a minute.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Intolerant homosexuals. Don'tcha just love it?

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

This kind of stuff makes me want to see Ashland burn.

And my larger point is that I think private employers SHOULD be allowed to hire or fire employees for any reason, not that this is the law.

So if you freep in your own time, with an anonymous account and somehow it gets around to your boss he should be able to fire you? what about because your black? or male? or straight?

The 'ol Range Rover is getting mothballed. It is a vortex capable of swallowing square yards of legal tender. We'll use it when the circumstances allow but right now when the weather cooperates, the old Triumph is easier on the wallet.

Good luck with the Pick-em-Up. The wifey wants a MINI.

My wife loves Minis too.

I might own an old Series one day as an indulgence.

Regards!

If I can't sell the 90 Classic or the 95 Disco, then they will be mothballed at my self storage place.

You may get a good price for the Disco but we were offered only $1k as a trade on our County. A Land Rover dealership was willing to give us $3k but that would still come up shy of the recent work we did on that tank - Y-Pipe, Brakes, Suspension....and I'm not so sure I'm into buying another gasoline sponge. It's bad enough that the old Triumph only runs well on 110 leaded. I have a source but $6.00 a gallon kinda stings.

Our Classic has developed the typical rust cancer at the rear seat belt mounts and front fender wells. Otherwise it's solid but I'm thinking about buying a welding outfit to fix the gaping holes.

A 30mpg MINI?I can do that AND the Monster-in-Law won't be able to fit in the rear seat. That alone is reason enough to buy it.
