The mayor of Atlanta Kasim Reed announced today the firing of the city's fire chief for the crime of being a Christian, according to news reports.
It seems the fire chief, Kelvin Cochran, wrote a book for his Bible study group in which he espoused actual Christian beliefs. How dare he?
But his firing doesn't infringe on religious freedom at all, so says the mayor. "This is not about religious freedom, this is not about free speech" the mayor reportedly said. "Judgement is the basis of the problem." So there you have it. If you're fired for being a Christian it's not because you're a Christian it's because you displayed bad judgment in being a Christian. You get the difference, right?
So, in the 160 plus page book there's two references to homosexuality. He wrote:
“Uncleanness – whatever is opposite of purity; including sodomy, homosexuality, lesbianism, pederasty, bestiality, all other forms of sexual perversion.”
He also wrote,
“Naked men refuse to give in, so they pursue sexual fulfillment through multiple partners, with the opposite sex, the same sex, and sex outside of marriage and many other vile, vulgar and inappropriate ways which defile their body – temple and dishonor God.”
Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran said that he had previously obtained permission to lend his name and title to the book called "Who Told You That You Were Naked?" But when a gay councilman got wind of the book, things went downhill. Fast.

Ping!
his lawyer won’t have to be that good to win this one
Extremly relevant to know the NAME of the mayor who fired this Christian fire chief....
Muhammad Kasim Reed.
According to Wiki, the Mayor’s full name is:
Muhammad Kasim Reed.
Hmmm.
Beat me to it!
Oh... a Muslim using homosexual “rights” as a weapon against a Christian...
look at me, NOT being surprised.
And homosexual?
What I really want to hear about is recall effort by the good residents of the city to recall their mayor.
Ka-Ching! Lawsuit.
Wow, the mayor posts personnel matters on his Facebook page??? So, how come whenever there is a personnel matter involving a public employee, the city/agency refuses to comment because it is a personnel matter which is confidential? One sees this continually whenever a public employee gets bounced. This dumb-ass mayor is about to cost the City of Atlanta beaucoup bucks.
The liberal athiest homonazis sure do get bent out of shape about something they don’t believe in don’t they? Now if you were bowing down to an altar with O’s face on it they’d cheer you on...
Hopefully Hasim has enough squirreled away to pay the judgment that’s coming...Silly me I forgot liberals dont pay their own bills...
Is this mayor even a U. S. citizen?
What do you expect from a muzzi mayor? I wont step foot in city of atl because of his ilk.
Agreed and the taxpayers take another one in the shorts.
Who Told You that You were Naked?
It is a thread detailing the book that Chief Cochran wrote--espousing Christianity--that got him fired.
We are trying to get more people to buy the book.
When we started the thread two days ago, the book ranked #21,000 on amazon.com
Today, as of this writing (7:15 pm Central Time on January 8), the book is at #249.
We are trying to send a message to the haters of Christianity.
The book is only $13. Thanks.
