Do you have a point here? Because to me it looks like you just hate gays. Rather than help them and swing them the other way, you'd rather keep them out of the organization altogether. I bet you don't think non-Christians should be allowed at your church either?


...my church prayed for the healing of the brother of one of my Hindu friends and they asked to come to our church to pray with us . They were of course invited and came in full Hindu regalia and were welcomed heartily by the entire congregation . Are there any other mistaken beliefs about my faith and my church I can clarify for you ?

What do you have against them?  It opened my eyes to a lot of stuff in nature.  During my years in Scouting, I managed to rack up over 500 backpacking miles.


He is Canadian, wouldn't be the BSA anyway

...the backpacking merit badge is admirable ; it's the fudge-packing merit badge the BSA won't approve B)

Kind of a stupid issue. Like those gay people complaining because a catholic church wouldn't give them communion. If you know an organization is unethical, why would you want to join in the first place? Someone could just come up with a new group, "super dangerous mega adventure scouting" or something. They could go into the woods for a week without supplies, discourage fire safety and generally be cooler than the boy scouts.

Yeah. Explain how the exclusion of homosexuals is going to help them achieve salvation.

Homosexuals are not "excluded" from going to church.

I go to a Catholic church and there is a lesbian couple who regularly attends.

You seem to be against using 1 piece of abnormal anecdotal evidence unless it supports your views...

I said most churches don't welcome openly gay people.
