        They are obviously a terrorist para-military group. Just a bunch of survival nuts.

          Their motto is "be prepared", which is a villain song from the Lion King. So like Scar, they promote regicide and fratricide.

            Yay for piles of burning straw. Try looking at the line right above the ones you bolded. Try not pretending like you don't know what the fuss is really about.
            I'm not here anymore.

              The actual fuss is about not allowing gay scoutmasters. There is no regulation that says a judge can't belong to a religious group, although the scouts are not that. Just because is mentions "God" doesn't make it religious. If that were the case then our money is religious and our country since the motto is "In God we Trust"

                They changed it to allow gay Scouts, right? I suspect its enforcement was going to be on a troop by troop basis anyway. They also had a rule not to allow atheists (I don't know if they still do) and when I was in it, I knew who some of the atheists in the troop were, but I wasn't going to rat them out.

                  Obviously.

                  And yet some would make exactly that claim.

                    Yes. Gay scouts are allowed. Gay scoutmasters are not.

                      which has nothing at all to do with your comment to rumtum above. Talking about burning straw.

                        I've always thought a better policy would be to make sure that Scoutmasters are actually the parent of somebody in the troop. I read some of the leaked files of the cover-up the BSA did over the years and a constant theme in cases was that it seemed to be random volunteers who were abusing boys, not parents.

                            no he wasn't. He even quoted Rumtum in his post.

                                which was a followup from my comment to him about gay scoutmasters being what all the fuss was about. It's called a "thread" because one post leads to another.
