Right, he hid the fact that he was an atheist from birth onward.
He repeated the boy scout oath hundreds of times without complaint. Suddenly, 2 days before he gets his eagle scout award he has a problem with it?
I don't know...that's what the Boy Scouts say but since he didn't get his ceremony no one can answer the question. HE said he believes in God. Did he refuse to take his oath in advance?
Somehow I doubt it.
Do you know when he realized he was gay?
Do you know when it dawned on him that god was just made up ?
I seriously doubt it dawned on him two days before he got his eagle scout award.
He is a brave young man
More interested in telling the truth than taking the easy way out

Gay Boy Scout Denied Eagle Award Says He Believes in God - ABC News
I can't really blame him for taking advantage of the situation (referencing your post above).
The Scout Oath and Law apparently means nothing. All scouts should simply ignore them because it's PC apparently.
Exactly. If nothing else happens, that scoutmaster should be booted to the curb as he certainly doesn't appear to follow the scout code. It is a lot easier to forgive a teen than a supposedly mature adult.the only thing i read said he didn't believe in god.

i don't blame him either.
my experience at the local level is that no one cares about sexual orientation. of course, i've never had a scout come out either.
i'm kind of surprised that his scoutmaster wouldn't sign off on it after encouraging him to pursue it. that's a real douche bag move, imo.

It's fine that you think he's going to Hell for his actions, but if you're basing those beliefs off of God's laws as set forth in Leviticus then he will have a lot of company. I hope you follow all of the laws as well: "Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material", "And the pig...does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you", etc. Deuteronomy 17:2-7 indicates that Christians should kill those who worship another God. So if you abide by all of the other laws put forth then so be it otherwise I believe that based on scripture it could be asked: "And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?". Also, "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged"
Actually I base it on the Lord's teachings found from Gen. (which predates the law of Moses and shows some 400yrs between just the destruction of Sodom to Moses even getting the laws you quote, not to mention the many other condemnations against sexual immorality of all manner going back before the destruction of Sodom, therefore BEFORE the Law being given to Moses) to Rev. As for me following all the law, why would I do that? I am not an Israelite and the Law was given, by God, through Moses, to the People of Israel and those who dwelt in Israel. You, like many heathens lack any understanding of God's word yet feel the irresistable urge to bloviate on it for some reason. You quote Deut and then say something stupid like it "indicates Christians shouls kill those who worship another god". Here's a hint for you bubba, there was no such thing as a Christian back then, and the book of Deuteronomy tells us who specifcally it is being addressed to right in it's text, the people of Israel, the Jews. Same with the Laws in Leviticus, "Now the Lord called to Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of meeting, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them": Maybe a serious study of the scriptures would be in your best interest if you wish to try and use them to make a point. You don't have to be under the law and follow the penalties written out in that law, to recognize sin as being sin, to recognize immorality as immorality. The bible says the Christian is not under the law but under Grace, it also says sin is STILL sin and unrepentent sin will still land you in hell.
Genesis is also part of the Old Testament. My point is you are quoting laws from the Old Testament and many of those laws are not followed nor do people suggest that they be followed. I understand that Christianity did not come around until Christ, however you are suggesting that Christians should follow the law (or whatever you would like to call it) of the Old Testament. I am not familiar with any reference at all to homosexuality in the New Testament. It's not consistent to pick and choose which parts of the Old Testament should be followed.
I also think that Christianity should be about a lot more than blithering on about condemning this, judging that, and decreeing that certain people are heathens. I think that God's word should be used to focus on leading the best life that you can and improving yourself (not chastising others).

Doesn't much matter what you think Christianity should be all about, as Christianity was given us by God, and He gets to decide what it's all about and He does so in His word. It also gives us the single word Jesus used to start His public ministry and that word was Repent! Feel free to start your own religion though, then you can make it about whatever you want it to be.

Christianity is a man-made construct, created by those superstitious and bigoted people who twisted the words of a maybe-real philosopher, Jesus.
I hope Bode isn't on the verge of trying to obtain her Eagle Scout badge.
Bode, it has nothing to do with your sexuality, your sex or your lack of faith...they don't want you because you're just too damn old.

Like everyone else on this planet you're free to your own opinion, as wrong as it may be.

I would say the same to you...as long as you don't try to get your superstitious opinion codified in our nation's laws.

Many of our current laws are based upon the Judeo/Christian faith of our Founders and citizens, live with it.
