<< Well that is one person's opinion. >>

My post was filled with facts not opinion. BSA was chartered by Congress in 1916. There was no religious test until 1970. It enjoys public sponsorship and uses public facilities. Public schools and teachers are used for recruiting. Those are facts, not opinions.

<< I have to wonder about a parent who wouldn't sign the paper, a parent who would make his kid cry 'cause he couldn't even allow for the possibility of a higher power?- me I didn't even read the paper >>

How about the Boy Scouts allowing for the possibility that there isn't a god. There is no evidence of one. Your signing of the paper anyway is not a very good example of honesty, is it? Aren't courage and honesty one of the main things that BSA is supposed to instill in the boy?

What bothers me even more is that you are defending the ones doing the discriminating, and chastising those who are trying to put a stop to it.
