A now former police officer in Georgia believes he was pressured into quitting his job because of warnings from his superiors over his views on gay marriage.
Jacob Kersey, 19, resigned from the department in Port Wentworth, just a few miles outside Savannah, after refusing to remove a post on Facebook regarding gay marriage and his Christian faith.
Kersey - who joined the department at a young age in part because he was inspired by how they would 'bring peace' to his 'broken home' growing up - wrote in the post: 'God designed marriage. Marriage refers to Christ and the church. That's why there's no such thing as homosexual marriage.'

Here's the deal, Jacob Kersey...
There are Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs.
I won't argue how or why each is, but the fact is they are... and you apparently "identify" as a "Sheepdog".
The department you are separating from now may be infected and too sick to countenance your compass heading.
But being young, there is no need to deny your heart. Simply apply at the other numerous departments/jurisdictions that would feel very good about giving you a chance to see if it's a good fit.

You're a cop ? Quit now before they toss you in prison for 20 years. Prison pensions suck as bad as the work.

He’s right.
He’s 19 years old, putting his life on the line, and he’s smarter than all his detractors.
He gives me hope.

Gay marriage is an oxymoron.
A gay marriage certificate is like a Cabbage Patch Kids adoption certificate. It make the holders happy, but it's neither a real marriage nor a real adoption.

Admire his courage and agree with his position. But don't post anything controversial that can be traced to you. There are snakes in the grass waiting.

Most states and municipal jurisdictions require applicants to be 21. Social media intemperance is a good reason for such restrictions. The lad still has a bright future ahead of him, it would appear.

What does that have to do with being a cop? The police department, upholding law, should consider how the U.S. Constitution allows for freedom of religion, but it seems Christians are the one group its okay to discriminate against.

He is right. Marriage is between a man and a woman and a covenant with God. Homosexuality is an abomination and a sin against God.

God bless you, Jacob, and may your life be as richly blessed as Joseph in Scripture, who also stood up against his brothers’ evil…when God told his brothers His Truth;
As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today. (Genesis 50:20, ESV)

Two homos "playing house" is not God's design for marriage, especially since it is strictly between a "biological" man and woman.

So this is the state of the country now? A young man is no longer allowed to express his closely held religious beliefs. He is being driven from his job because he may hurt someone’s feelings? Can someone please explain to me why this group of individuals are so coddled and protected? It’s not like the activity they engage in is something to be proud of. Of course, we are never allowed to hear the truth about that, do we? We are only allowed to see this group as witty and having the purest intentions. They are portrayed in television, movies and the media the most kind and caring group who are horrifically discriminated against. We never hear the truth of how their insatiable lust leads them to the highest rates of promiscuity. We also never hear how the results of their behavior causes all manner of physical problems and disease not to mention the domestic violence. Do I even have to mention the grooming issue? It is not my argument that heterosexuals without sin because we all know that would be a lie and it is condemned. However, we cannot speak even the basic truth about this group. We are demanded to celebrate this lifestyle or be sued into oblivion. This group will bring down legal hell on you if you dare to refuse them a service they could easily find elsewhere. Your religious beliefs be damned. The biggest lie they tell is that they are all about love and acceptance but they cannot and will not accept any opposition, none.
Americans are a fair minded people and the vast majority recoil from discrimination when they see it. We do not like it. However, we also do not like being forced to affirm things we believe to be against our religious beliefs. If we dare to refuse to tolerate, confirm or celebrate their lifestyle our lives could be ruined. Let’s be clear, this group is a powerful and well funded, vicious, intolerant, and anti-religious force that proclaims it is all about love when in truth it is all about raw intimidation and power.

He didn't say he hates the LGBTQ community or would treat them with bias. He said gay marriage isn't real according to the Bible. Lots of people think that.

The baker, the web designer, the pro-life activist who defended his child, those who did not want the vaccine, and now this. It is open season on Christians, and the government has all but put a bounty on their heads.

The so-called marriage may exist but it is not sanctioned by anybody who matters.

You don't have to be devout to believe a family is a mother, father, and children. I liked it better when the children were theirs. There used to be a family name, and a little master, and a little miss, and the extended family not far away.

The young man is 100% right. Marriage is covenant before God between one man and one woman. Anything else is delusionary and I'll continue to call it such.

The fable about the camel and the tent...we now have the whole stinking animal in with us and it is crapping on our Persian rug...think we aren't in the 'end times'??? Look around you...statues of Satan going up in schools/universities and public buildings, children being 'groomed', freak lesbos on prime time TV shows, drag queens reading stories to school children...it never ends...but one day, it will...God will not be mocked....remember Sodom and Gomorrah....
