The core of this argument is whether or not the Boy Scouts is a 'christianity based' organization. Nothing more.
Just saying 'God' in an oath, weighs as much as the yanks' motto on their money, or their courtroom oaths.
If Boy Scouts allow gays to be leaders, and you disagree with it, here's a tip: don't send your kid there.
People wanna control everything. Control it with your vote, your participation or your boycott.
Again, I don't think this has anything with God.
And the athiest who gets kicked out, and the boy who worships a tree stays in. That's unjust. That is anti-boyscout.
But the other thing that bothers me is that it is people like Goose who aren't in Scouts, probably don't have any boys in Scouts, that I making it a football issue, while the boys probably have no opinion or don't care. I think you should ask the boys.
But, I fully support the boyscouts' right to keep out anyone they want. I just can't support their decision.
But I can tolerate them discriminating if they can tolerate me not buying candy bars and wreaths from them.
