BSA to allow gays (under debate)

[Alteration]

"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated (anah) her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NIV

Deuteronomy 22:11 You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, as of woolen and linen together

That's the part of the Old Testament that's not relevant anymore, it would be insane to have stuff like that in modern times. You're not going to hell for wearing jeans, and rape is a crime regardless of your beliefs.
Before you whine and cry about how we "pick and choose", there is a lot of old testament that is still relevant. Not all of it is wrong, but not all of it is right.

if he loves everyone why does he have to segregate people. i guess you think race segregation is okay to? maybe blacks shouldn't be allowed to join either? or maybe people with glasses?
im fine with people being christian, i myself am agnostic, but i'm not okay with people putting other people down due to their religion as that is just wrong.

God doesn't segregate people. A black man has as much of a chance to get into heaven as a white man does.
People segregate people. The extremists in charge of BSA segregate because they're people.

i see
what sort of god hates people with different likes and dislikes
that seems unfair?

He doesn't...?

Atheism isn't a religion; it's a belief.
And would you like a  for having friends of color?

since when is not believing in aynthing a belief?
if atheism is a belief then off is a tv channel

And BTW, 95% of my friends are black, mexican, canadian, wear glasses, half blind, and deaf.

wow you are such a cigarette lol, "im not tribal i have a black friend"

[Freeze]

I never put down the atheist religion... I just said it isnt allowed in BSA, sheesh.

Not allowing someone in your club is basically the same as putting them down. They aren't allowed to join a club which they are interested in just because they are 'different' to you. This isn't even about atheism, you know there are such things as gay christians right?

but im not tribal because im white and white is a color

So how do you know what's right and what's wrong?

I'm not saying the god you believe in do, I'm simply replying to Aero's reasons. Like I said I'm fine with people being christian, just not when they use religion to segregate people such as you said. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. :)

Yes, there are. Does it make it alright? No. This will be my last comment on this topic.

Why isn't it ok? Because your god is segregating people with different likes and dislikes? That's just wrong man.

The kind that goes against Jesus's teachings. Remember, we're Christians, now Jews.

Then they are not Christian, or at least as Christ-like as they could be. Jesus did not discriminate anybody, and even went as far as to regularly chill out with sinners and unfortunates to try to win them to the Lord.

atheism isnt "not believing in anything" its simply "not believing in a god/thiest"

if people just believed that we were evolved from monkeys they may be called an athiest.
or if they believed aliens planted us here million years ago, that technically can still be athiest.

And didn't Jesus teach to love all people?http://

Er, wait, are you defending discriminating against gay people, or just Christianity in general? Because I don't have a problem with the latter, just the former.

[WALK2222]

Amen.

did you just quote your own post?
