First of all, shame on the Southern Baptists for falling short on the boycott. If the Boy Scouts are primarily sponsored by religious groups, then that should be the end of the debate. While absolutely NO ONE should be mistreated, there is no doubt what the Bible teaches on the subject of homosexuality. Therefore, Biblical…

The decision is regrettable since it represents a serious change in standards that may lead to laxity in the entire organization a la the Catholic seminaries, when they abandoned certain kinds of screening in the 1970's.

I do believe that this decision will have an impact on the BSA. The Boy Scouts have abandoned a traditional organization for the newly revised edition. Everything seems to go back to money.

If a church sponsors boy scout troops that have gay youth, that church will not be able to have a different policy for other groups such as gay adult groups. Such groups would have legal equal rights to use the church building. I believe that churches that follow the Holy Bible as it calls out against homosexuality, should…

Yes, and it should. I know a church here in Atlanta that is pulling out. It is a shame the Boy Scouts caved into political correctness and pressure from the homosexual lobby!

It is still difficult for me to imagine that this is happening in the United States of America. However, if our soldiers need protecting, then they should have that protection available to them. I know we are not supposed to look back too much, but sometimes I long for that America I knew when I…
