A scout is TRUTHFUL

The lesser " supreme " courts are just as ossified and doomed as THE

    Supreme Court. According to the lights on the California Supreme Court

    two sixteen year olds- Michael and William Randall -can be excluded

    from the Boy Scouts because they do not have a conventional belief in

    God. Also homosexuals can be excluded.

        Grieg Shields, spokesman for the Scouts, thinks that atheist cannot

    possibly uphold the " moral values " of the 88 year old organization.

       Mature adults would naturally avoid organizations incompatible with

    their ideas and opinions. But in this case mere children are being

    unfairly ostracized from their peer group.

        Why are the Randall twins atheists at 16 anyway ? No doubt because

    their parents are atheists ? So the kids are taught very early in life

    that the NICE, DECENT religious people will punish them vindictively

    for something as " family" related as the color of their skin.

       The moral beauty of the devout!

      I was a Boy Scout and on the whole benefitted from the experience. But

    it is certainly news to me that they are not a business. The Boy Scouts

    MAKE money for a lot of people.


         How confident is an organization in its fundamental beliefs if it

    must exclude non-conforming children ? Are they a contagion? Will the

    majority of WHITE sheep have no influence on the BLACK sheep?

      I concluded a long time ago that people with IRRATIONAL beliefs do not

    want to argue with you. No, they want to eliminate your influence, to

    put you out of the picture.

       Our society is controlled by people who say they are " democratic "

    but who -just watch them! - hate and fear IDEAS !
