It's just... seriously? Nothing in his ability to do his job had changed, the only difference is that the guy dared to question his beliefs in a public way. There's a lot of subtext here, about how christians handle genuine investigation of the underpinnings of their faith. And the picture it paints, as usual, isn't pretty.
they fired the guy for not doing the job he was hired to do. Being a pastor is not a research or a philosphy based job. it involves dealing with people, and giving them direction based on scriptural direction. If one tries to be an atheist for a year then he is no longer able to do his job as a pastor.
This douche wanted to be paid to do nothing. Glad to see the church woke up and fired this clown.
