"However, 19-year-old Darrel Lambert said he's been an atheist since the ninth grade and he's sticking to his convictions."

Then, by God, he should stick to his convictions, and get kicked out of a fine organization for refusing to meet its qualifications.

The "Boy Scouts" are apparently one of the few groups of "real men" left in America to stand up to the pedophilic homosexuals and atheists.

Yes, but do they accept jihadi Muslims?

[PokeyJoe]

Is it a statement of faith to say "I do not believe in God?"

If God exists, and I state that "God exists" - then I'm on His good side.
If God exists, and I state that "God doesn't exist" - then I'm going to Hell.
If God doesn't exist, and I say "God exists" - there is nobody to get mad at me when I die.

Therefore, all aetheists should proclaim with a one voice, "I believe in God" - it is a rational, self-interested and logically based statement. You have everything to gain, and nothing to lose. =)

Tounge in Cheek kick the soapbox back under the TV, watching FNC.

"I think the only power higher than myself is the power of all of us combined," Lambert said.

The makings of a mass murderer here. "Might makes right. No one can punish me for my faults because no one is higher than me. I am the ultimate power in my universe."

These sort of people scare me as they have no moral foundation whatsoever.

He is at least as dangerous to the boys as a person practicing homosexual behavior would be.

That's certainly one way to paraphrase St. Thomas Aquinas :)

What I want to know is how this kid's Troop ended up with a female Scoutmaster? When I was a Scoutmaster, there were a few wannabe women in the council, but they always had flashing lights on their foreheads that read: 'Something needs examination under the hood - please see a technician ASAP.'

Too bad this Council stepped in it long before the kid got steam for his crusade. Approve a woman (Where's dear old Dad, BTW?) to highest position of authority in th Troop and then try to retreat when she and her kid want to expand the beach head. Duh. Find out who gave the approval and you've got the root that needs pulling-up and composting.

Old BP is spinning in his grave. In fact, a key part of the intent was to provide positive male influences on the scouts in the form of the Scoutmaster. This is the core of the movement - building young men with leadership from other men. Scouting, like many venerable organizations, seems infected with the notion that in lack of suitable candidates, something else must be done to keep itself viable. I have no doubt that that Troop's charter should have expired if they couldn't get a Scoutmaster. Any kids wanting to bein scouting would have found a Troop - NO problem.

Scouting is not about being relevant. Never was. Scouting is about morals and the character and honor of defending and living-out the same in the lives of young men and boys.

Atheism takes great faith. Stating that there is no God with such conviction would require one to be all-knowing, a God, which in turn negates the original premise. This kid needs to stop pushing his faith on the BSA, a private organization that sets its own standards and requirements.

What's next?

How about strong-arming the Daughters of the American Revolution into accepting AIDS-riddled Haitian Boat Bummettes?

[LadyDoc]

Yes, but do they accept jihadi Muslims?

There are 1 billion people who are Muslims. A few thousand are jihadi Muslims, mostly out of work semi educated sexually frustrated men who are radicalized by their lack of opportunity is Saudi arabia or in the ghettos of Europe.

So of course the scouts include Muslims, and Hindus, and others. Indeed, even agnostics and Wiccans can belong. (notice they would allow him to say the oath to mother earth?)

But not radical anti God athiests who want to sue to scouts to change their policies.

"I think the only power higher than myself is the power of all of us combined," Lambert said.

sounds more like secular humanism than atheism -

[wideawake]

Ah, Pascal's wager. Well done.

[Prodigal Son]

This is true. Agnosticism is the safer bet for the non-believer.

"Atheism takes great faith. Stating that there is no God with such conviction would require one to be all-knowing, a God, which in turn negates the original premise."

Most axiomatic statement of the year..

God IS an alien by any definiton of the word.

And don't we generally scoff at those who believe in aliens ?

BUMP

Then, by God, he should stick to his convictions, and get kicked out of a fine organization for refusing to meet its qualifications.

If he had the courage of his convictions, he'd reject the Boy Scouts for failing to meet his qualifications.

Whatever...
But does it bother you that the Gov. does fund some faggott groups?
