I call your attention to a superb column written by an Eagle Scout and posted on USA Today’s website about the possible change in BSA policy regarding the inclusion of homosexuals that has been making the national news: http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2013/01/28/boy-scouts-gay-members/1872077/

For the life of me, I can’t understand why proponents of the policy change won’t start up their own scouting organization other than to bully those with traditional sensibilities into going along with their radical sexualization of the BSA. We saw what happened to the Catholic Church when it allowed homosexuals into the priesthood, so we can expect the same to happen with the BSA if the policy is scrapped. What next? Would the radicals force the BSA to do away with serving God since his commandments conflict with their twisted values?

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council has more to say about this issue: http://www.frc.org/washingtonupdate/scouts-consider-breaking-camp-with-tradition

Boy scouts are a good organization for all boys, gay or straight, it’s time to let them in, it helps them, and teaches them good interaction skills too, I was a boy scout, I know what good they can do, This BSA policy change is good,

As long as it was a decision made from within the organization and not compelled by the courts or bully legislators. Organizations such as BSA should have the freedom to determine its own organizational values (even if we disagree with them) without government intrusion.

Since the radical social engineers don’t have the decency to form their own organizations rather than hijack the BSA like they did with traditional marriage, then the traditionalists will part ways and join other boys organizations that don’t put up with this crap, leaving their opponents to face the prospect of putting a millstone around their necks and casting themselves into the sea rather than leading the little ones to sin as Jesus warned and thus inviting the kinds of massive lawsuits that rocked the Catholic Church as a result of the sex abuse scandal in which 80 percent of the cases involved young men as the victims.

The following comment that I found on another blog hits the nail squarely on the head about the shameless two-facedness in our midst:

“What depresses me even more is that most Americans are either too stupid or too lazy to see the obvious hypocrisy in it all. It really bothers me that people can’t see that so-called tolerant people are just as, if not more, intolerant as we conservative Christians are supposed to be.

“What bothers me most, though, is that this clouds my view of Jesus. It causes me to lose hope. It is hard to look at the Obamas and the Pelosis and the Richardses and the Gagas of the world and wonder how the heck we will recover as a nation, if its even possible. I look at all of the godless nations of the past and fear that we are headed that direction I fear that we will be treated the same way as they were treated.”

Pax, people have to take responsibility for their own beliefs and attitudes rather than blame government, media, etc. Its impossible to legislate matters of the heart. Jesus did not march up to Rome, army in tow, and demand change. He took a more grassroots approach by tending to others before himself. The war over souls will not be won in Washington DC, Sacramento, or any Board Room. It can only be fought by practicing what is taught inside the church house out on the street. The terms ‘Militant’ and ‘Christianity’ are contradictory terms.

Perhaps Revelations 3:13-16 does much to explain my hesitation to make peace with those who would upend Christian values: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. And to the angel of the church of Laodicea, write: These things saith the Amen (that is, the true one, the Truth itself; the Word and Son of God. The beginning– that is, the principle, the source, and the efficient cause of the whole creation), the faithful and true witness, who is the beginning of the creation of God: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot. But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.

You know, I’ve long thought Pax reads a different bible than other Christians, since he regularly refers to Revelations. Now I’m convinced of it.

Pax: there’s no such book in the bible. Revelation, yes, but Revelations, no.
