I keep hearing about how, as a result of the Boy Scouts opening their doors and accepting openly gay boys, the faith based groups that sponsor the boy scouts will pull out of sponsorship, rendering the organization in ruin.
WELL.... hear this..... THERE ARE PLENTY of parents just like me that did not allow our son to scout, for the simple fact that the leadership was presenting itself in a discriminating fashion. Now we and people like us, can happily encourage our boys desire to scout. Not only that, But I am positive that there are plenty of organizations that will step up to the plate and replace the "Faith"based groups that abandon the scouts.
Perhaps this will give those "faith"based groups more time on sunday to ask for forgiveness for deserting their brothers and sisters.
Now.... I am a terrible christian, and I am christian only by family. I grew up in baptist church & figured out at an early age that it was not consistent with my ideas or beliefs. SO... if you are a devout christian, you can immediately discredit me and go about your day.
My spiritual beliefs stem ironically from the sign that hung OUTSIDE my childhood church. "GOD IS LOVE".... thats what it said.
As long as I can remember, I have been filled with a deep sense of love. Love guides me in all of my decision making & is the groundwork for any desire I have ever felt that was worth anything. So in my estimation, the abandonment of people who would support love in ANY fashion goes against GOD.
I get confused when folks state they have "faith" in God yet fail to leave the Judging solely to him/her/it.
Isn't that a primary tenet? Judge not? And here you are judging children to be a type that you should not associate with....
Last time I checked the sacred Jesus surrounded himself with those who would be otherwise disapproved of.
SO if to honor him you are to emulate him..... you are doing a shitty job.
But who am I to say .......after all I am a terrible Christian
Love
