Do you think there's a market for my memoir, "I Was an Atheist Boy Scout"?

[Zavien Doombringer]

On my honor, I will do my best

to do my duty

To God and my county

To help other people at all times

To keep myself physically strong, metally awake and morally straight

Morally straight excludes gays...

or who mock God by denying His existence,

Clearly one cannot mock that which does not exist, therefore the atheist that denies the existence of "god" does so with the intention of making a truthful statement, and not with the hypocritical intention of mockery. The author seems confused about what words mean and how they should be applied. Possibly the intent is deliberate and the author is mocking those that dare disagree with him by refusing to partake of his mythology?

Thank you for filling the role of the stereotypical patronizing atheist. Your momma must be so proud.

"What we're witnessing is an attempt to subvert the very moral foundation of the Boy Scouts of America through homosexual agitprop."

This is the foundation of the homosexual agenda. Homosexuality is a perversion of something good. Homosexuality didn't work for the Greek Empire, and it won't work for our culture. Homosexuals want the heterosexual culture to not be the norm, to be an outcast culture. They want the return of the old Greek culture. It must not happen. We cannot allow homosexuals to have access to our children as a breeding ground for the implementation of their agenda.

What evidence do you have that this is "mythology?"

Sadly the loyal athiest deosn't realize his beliefs are the actual mythology. In the end we shall see who's loyalty is rewarded.

Have the words "and obey the Scout law" been removed from the oath?

"mythology"? The Story of God is ultimately based on the presumption that Genesis is true. I won't bother with the litearlness of the Adam and Eve fable, but the fact of the matter is that the Big Flood never happened. Now, when a physically demonstrable prediction of a theory is proved false, no logical reason exists to presume that other claims contained in that theory, especially those not subject to validation, are true.

Therefore, since the Noah tale is a lie, there's no reason to accept virgin births, healing miracles, withered fig trees, water freesurface walking, or any other unverifiable claim in that book. One is expected to take these things on "faith", but that's absurd when the checkable items are demonstrated to be false.

Hence, the book is nothing more than mythology. A collection of tales with hypothectical and tenous factual basis intended to explain natural events, indoctrinate the young, and otherwise channel thought and behavior, without regards to the objective reality of the tale.

What did you think I meant by mythology?

I can only tell my story. Though I was mostly being a wise guy. Kids join the Boy Scouts because their friends do, not because it excludes atheists. "Agnostic" is actually the proper term, since atheism also requires faith in something unknowable, though I guess we'd be excluded too.

the fact of the matter is that the Big Flood never happened.

Show me the proof that this never happened.

[tiamat]

Well, actually, I was just teasing, too.!

Besides, : " I Was A Gay Atheist Boy Scout" sounds more like a header on teh National Enquirer!

Or a movie.

Cheers!
