People think it’s not one or the other, but it is. It might not be kneeling at an altar, but what’s the difference? It’s in.
People think we set the rules but we don’t. We either work for and get God’s presence in an institution, or we’re on our own and we are just not strong enough without His help to keep it out, kneeling at a particular altar or not.
Watch what happens.
As seen at Sandy Hook, if one cares to look, that is, there is no in between. Eliminate God and His Word from an institution and invite the enemy - he’s not going to leave it alone, if that’s what people think - especially where the formation of children is concerned.
And this eliminates God’s Word. Sex is for two people married to each other for the right reasons. It is not for 17 year old boys. And boys need guidance in this. the BSA has always recognized boys’ struggle with temptation.
You shove God out of a youth institution and there is no protection.
For example, people don’t see that the US cannot look away from legalizing abortion and expect God’s protection for the country.
Look at what is going on and the trends in government. Just look at Issa and his incompetence in managing these hearings. That alone portrays the powerlessness of anyone hoping to get rid of massive corruption while we are busy telling God to stay out of everything.
The BSA has just shoved God out. People pretend that spiritual vacuum will not get filled as they pretend the enemy does not exist or that it does not thrive on institutions which tear apart the family, and formative institutions, but that thinking, see, hear speak no evil, is just not effective in keeping it out. It’s there.
There will likely develop a new, explicitly parachurch Scouts with its own name, program, and mission.
If the expression can be pardoned, it looks like an occasion for distinguishing the men from the boys.
That’s kind of an old testament fundamentalist phraiseeical view....again, awful decision, a fatal mistake in the long run, but I think this was excruciatingly painful for them to make. I reject “kneeling at Satan’s altar” as a description for this.
For example, people don’t see that the US cannot look away from legalizing abortion and expect God’s protection for the country

Regarding: God saving our nation
Of all the parents phoning and writing in protest to the BSA, how many of them will, on Tuesday, send their children into the GODLESS Marxist run schools that **are** pushing the homosexual agenda?
If children do manage to survive the womb, nearly all of the children in this nation attend compulsory GODLESS government owned and run socialist-entitlement schools. They **will** learn to think and reason GODLESSLY. They must just to cooperate in the GODLESS classroom. They risk learning to be comfortable with government compulsion. And...They risk learning worship the government, socialism, unbridled sex, and “mother earth”.
