Atlanta Fire Chief Suspended for Christian Beliefs

Who Told You That You Were Naked?” is the tile of a book written by Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran. In the book, he argues homosexuality and having multiple sexual partners is “vile,” “vulgar” and “inappropriate.” For those orthodox Christian beliefs, he has been suspended for one month without pay. Mayor Kasim Reed said in a statement, “I profoundly disagree with and am deeply disturbed by the sentiments expressed in the paperback regarding the LGBT community. I will not tolerate discrimination of any kind within my administration.” Cochran left his post previously to take a job with the Obama administration, but later returned to Atlanta. As RedState’s Erick Erickson put it, “What Mayor Reed and the gay rights community are saying is that if you work for government you cannot be open about your Christian faith. Again, you will be made to care.” More…

From the book’s description on Amazon:

“Who told you that you were naked?”, meant much more than, “Who told you that you do not have on clothes?” From God’s perspective nakedness meant so much more. It meant condemnation and deprivation to his most precious creation-mankind. Though He reconciled Adam’s condition by clothing him in coats of lambs’ skin, Adam never got over what he had done. Condemnation has dominated ever since. Now we have a more permanent solution. We have been clothed with Christ! Redeemed men who carry the curse of condemnation and deprivation cannot fulfill their purpose as husbands, fathers, community and business leaders-world changers! Adam never gave God a straight answer. It’s time to answer that question. WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE NAKED?“
