Only the blind could have failed to see this coming. The executive committee of the Boy Scouts of America has unanimously approved a new policy that allows practicing homosexuals to be scout leaders. Not long ago they lifted their ban on openly homosexual scouts. It was just a matter of time before consistency caught up with them.
It is disheartening to see how the Boy Scouts has capitulated to public opinion rather than holding true to their ideals and mission. Being a Boy Scout requires that one be “morally straight.” This change is a clear signal that the Boy Scouts now considers homosexuality to be morally good. This is moral confusion from an organization that is built on a strong foundation of moral integrity.
The Boy Scouts is supposed to be an organization that teaches young men how to lead, and yet the leaders of the Boy Scouts have failed to model that. Strong leaders stay true to their convictions; they do not capitulate to public pressure when their convictions become unpopular. What a shame!

Greetings. I had a question regarding the validity of the moral argument for God’s existence. Is the comments section here the best place to ask you or should I email you? If so what is your email?

Indeed, just a matter of time before civilization plows stonagism into oblivion. Hatred for outsiders can only last until the wheels of progress renders the old religious dogma obsolete. Humanity Uniting Humans, HUH!

“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:10)

Christianity is incompatible with being Gay; one should give up Christianity if they are Gay; it’s okay to be gay and a follower of Jesus but not Gay and a follower of Christianity.
Jesus is a righteous interpreter following scripture while Christianity does not interpret scripture but follows scripture textually like the Scribes and the Pharisees.
There is a huge difference between interpreting scripture and following scripture textually.
The Boy Scouts is an Institution just learning to accept humanity’s differences instead of humanity’s sameness.

All Gods are pre civilization Gods. There are no post civilization Gods. Nevertheless, civilization itself ihas a caveat. **
Who among the religious can admit the obvious?
The process with which you think about things is based upon indoctrination, what you’re given by society. So your RANGE of thought is limited by the dominant values of your society, including but not limited to, the “God Value”.
**We talk about civilization as though it’s a static state BUT, There are no civilized people yet; civilization is a process that’s constantly going on. As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, religion, you’re in the early stages of what they call, “civilization”.
