In some Lutheran Synods, membership in the Boy Scouts is not encouraged because, as you say, they mention a "god" but not which one.

Seems odd to one not familiar with it, but old school Lutherans have a big problem praying to an anonymous god that is not defined. Because the guy praying next to you may not be praying to the Trinity, but to the idol made of baloney (extreme example).

Dear redgolum,

"In some Lutheran Synods, membership in the Boy Scouts is not encouraged because, as you say, they mention a "god" but not which one."

Wow, thanks, I didn't know that.

I did not know that, either.

But God knows who He is. And I do to.
