He should have been fired for handing out religious books alone.
Yeah the publishers and distributors of the Gideon Bible should be in prison.
Ever heard of the first amendment?

Why should someone lose their job over that? Would you support his firing if he passed out pro-gay marriage leaflets too? Or books by Richard Dawkins? Why are liberals so intolerant?He should have been fired for handing out religious books alone.
The gideons are a private charity, the ATL fire department is a governmental dept.

He wasn't selling them. People weren't forced to take them.
The publishers and distributors of the Gideon Bible are not going around to people's work places and forcing their religious non-sense on other people.

Homosexual Agenda strikes again
If he is working for a government department he shouldn't be advocating *any* point of view while on the clock.
Who said anyone was on the clock?
ATLANTA — Mayor Kasim Reed announced Tuesday that he had fired the chief of the city’s Fire Rescue Department, Kelvin Cochran, after Mr. Cochran gave workers a religious book he wrote containing passages that condemn homosexuality.
No one was forcing anything. [except the homosexual lobby]
Mr. Cochran gave workers a religious book he wrote containing passages that condemn homosexuality.

ATLANTA — Mayor Kasim Reed announced Tuesday that he had fired the chief of the city’s Fire Rescue Department, Kelvin Cochran, after Mr. Cochran gave workers a religious book he wrote containing passages that condemn homosexuality.
Mr. Reed had suspended Mr. Cochran for a month without pay in November, opening an investigation into whether Mr. Cochran’s authorship and distribution of the book to workers violated the city’s nondiscrimination policies. That move sparked a debate about religious liberty and freedom of expression: Last month, the 1.4-million member Georgia Baptist Convention began an online petition that called for Mr. Cochran’s reinstatement and suggested his First Amendment rights had been violated.
The matter also presents a challenge for Mr. Reed, a second-term Democrat who presides over a metropolis whose social mosaic is defined by strong expressions of Christianity and large and politically powerful gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual groups.

Yep, now they getting people fired for their personal and religious views.
Cochran also served as U.S. Fire Administrator under President Obama from 2009-10.
The " politically powerful gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual groups" were forcing their agenda.
Yep, now they getting people fired for their personal and religious views.
Govt. officials promoting religious views violates the separation of church and state. Why is that so difficult for you? You want a theocracy?
