i suspect chem-trails!

9?? That would be Cub Scouts jesus, whatever, it's all the same organization. i did the gambit from age 7ish to 17, and the religious part did in fact help push me away...

or the call to "bravery" is to stand up to social engineering thugs like yourself that try to force YOUR view of morality on an organization who views things differently. thug, that's a good one for describing me i'm not in the scouts any longer so have no dog in this fight until such time as my boy asks about it - i feel i can teach him pretty well meself the things i learned there that i still value - i am uncomfortable w/ government messing w/ private associations, but then my understanding is much of the current pressure on the bsa is coming from its own members and from the community in general, not the obama-llama i suppose you could easily label lincoln a "social-engineering thug," but then you'd be on the wrong side of history - allowing all humanoids equality, both of opportunity and before the law, seems like such a no-brainer in a democracy that i'm really at a loss to understand those who need it explained...

People have been saying that for at least 30 years w/r/t gays and atheists in Scouting, and Scouting still exists. My point is not that you can't change them, however, if you know the organization requires a faith in a higher being, you join anyways, than make a big deal about being an atheist and complain about how the Scouts will not allow this, then you should not be surprised to be kicked out. Moreover, if you just go with the flow, most likely you'll be able to participate because there are very few times you'll be grilled on your belief in God - at least that was my experience, YMMV strange i know, but most 9 year olds haven't quite sorted out their theologies yet

i'm illiterate in multiple languages, including nadsat

order of the arrow, now there's gay entrapment! dropped the lot of us off in the boonies in the freezing cold darkness w/ nothing but our clothes on and told us to make it through the night! remember folks, when homo-huddling, it ain't gay if you don't open your eyes

well put. and indeed, the scout call to "bravery" is exemplified by the scouts who've questioned the ban against aetheism and gays when clearly the vast majority of folks would rather hide behidn kk's advice.

drug, not druk sorry, i was channeling alex's pronuciation

and my point is that aetheists are in fact generally not considered to be real people by fundies, who also thought japs n' injuns were sub-human too...

that picture DOES harm people, like myself, who think religion is bullshit and hate the swiss-jesus as the obvious phony thing that it is put a chocolate-jesus portrait up instead, and then one of george carlin right next to him, and i cease to be offended.

you might mind neitzche's advice on dealing w/ monsters then, moy druk

that's, like, your opinion, man. the same rationale was used in violating the constitution in deporting the indians (and the japanese) no less - sure, it's breaking the rules, but it ain't hurting any (real) people...

shooting a gun is fun though, as is burning down churches - doesn't mean you can't admit that, and still advocate against it - ole'pat don't actually own a piece, then or now...

More proof that the ACLU are nothing but worthless shit-heels. bizarre. this story sounds like a prime-example of what the 1st amendment bans - public institutions don't get to hold out one religion or religous figure as the preferred one. these folks could at least muddy the waters by having their "historic" portrait flanked by others of mohammed, vishnu, buddha, confucious, gandhi, and david lee roth so as to not so crystal-clearly violate the establishment clause...

examples?

guns don't kill - duh, it's bullets that kill people!

dog-damn aclu, continuing their war on jesus ! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/02/08/aclu-wants-ohio-school-jesus-portrait-removed-school-says-picture-historically/?test=latestnews

that's about what stalin did at stalingrad and it worked out alright

"fuck the dog, fool, he'll shit in the den! nowadays a gat is man's best friend"

most of my bsa time was in germany, and we actually did some pretty cool shit, definetly instilling an interest in outdoor adventure - camping in winter conditions in switzerland was badass, as was spending lots of times in wilderness areas also used by american amry unit for training, invariably chock-full of lost magazines of m16 blanks, expended claymores, etc

you forgot: - thrifty ('cept when hiring lawyers to keep the queers out) - clean ('cept for gay folks, who keep their shit far tidier than your typical hetero wife-beater...)

ironically, i left the bsa right around the time i learned how gay sitting aroudn a church all tuesday night talking about bullshit truly was i wish i'd done the explorers, and shit, that's mixed gender anyway so why not throw in the transformers too?

must....not....post....big-wall....picture

just booked a flight for vegas at the end of next month, so the end is nigh, assuming, ya know, we can actually find drugs there before heading over to red rocks

drug lords are a lot like brer rabbit: "puhhhhhhhhhhleeze don't outlaw my drug trade, brer fox!"
