Young Minutemen of America

The Boy Scouts of America will likely continue banning atheists and other non-believers from their troops, even though it now accepts openly gay members among its ranks.
"I don't see that happening, at least not in the immediate future," said Neil Polzin, an Eagle Scout fired from his job in 2009 as a Boy Scout camp aquatics director, after he admitted he is an atheist.
"The focus has always been on the Scouts' discrimination against gays and it seems atheists were always on a back burner or not discussed at all," Polzin told The Christian Century.
Since May 23, when the Scouts voted to allow gay members – but not troop leaders – among their ranks, major organizations for nonbelievers have condemned their continuing exclusion from the organization.
Part of the Scouting oath is to "do my duty to God and my country," which many atheists prefer be changed to "good and my country," a request the BSA has refused.
In addition, some atheist children have been asked to leave troops after it was revealed they did not believe in God. There have been lawsuits filed, but the Supreme Court has ruled that the Boy Scouts is a private organization that can make its own membership rules.

Blow Scouts...I’ll never have a thing to do with this outfit now.
Boy Scouts Remain Adamant About ‘Duty To God’
***The problem is now that it has become ‘Duty to an Invented God’.
Their capitulation to evil has doomed them. I grieve about that.
The rest will continue to fall - there's nothing they can do.
The BSA signed their own death warrant.
Nonsense! The BSA is in full capitulation mode from now on.
That’s “fabulous” boy scouts. It’s sad, but the traitors at the top should lose all support. And that includes their phony baloney jobs and cushy sinacures.
Hey all, joined practically last month. Troll. There are some REAL boy scouts here.
The BSA is a private org that should never have given in to the pressures of the LBGT lobby. BSA is all but doomed. What a shame. (former Eagle)
Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law
A scout is...
Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean (chaste)
Reverent (that requires God)
You CANNOT do the above as an openely gay person...
You cannot do the above as an athiest.
They need to start their own organizations that fit their lifestyle.
ANY change that any Godless group wants will soon be allowed once homos completely take over the BSA.
Face it, atheism, or at least agnosticism, is now allowed as homos are largely atheists. In fact, the homo-ized denominations are now atheistic.
You are severely naive about the future direction of the Scouts. The Oath and Law will soon be modified and you’ll still be “la la la”-ing with your fingers in your ears.
You know what? I would not call every boy there a sodomite but if I ever come in contact with a boy scout and are asked to support them for what ever they are doing I will tell them “NO” and I will tell them “why”. I don't support an organization that endorses their behavior. I will also tell the “Butt Boy Scouts that they are no longer ‘morally strait’ but morally sick and twisted”. Then I'll walk away before they have time to answer me.
"Adamant" now means "for no more than a year."
“Hey all, joined practically last month. Troll.”
I figured as much.
You’re sounding more & more pro-homo. And it’s not just me saying that. Is that what got you banned last time, retread?? Trolling for homos??
Except liberals claim the Bible is “outdated fantasy” and make up what they think God is about.
“You are severely naive about the future direction of the Scouts. The Oath and Law will soon be modified and you’ll still be “la la la”-ing with your fingers in your ears.”
Looks like the LDS Church will be the official and only place where Scouts will be safe and secure and “Morally Straight”. Wheat from the tares.
If a 15 year old homosexual Useful Idiot parroted the Scout Oath and Law - I’d call him a LIAR before pointing out the fact that his choice, and not Nature, delivers him into the Sodomite’s camp.
