The Oak Scouts sounds like a promising group. I've long felt that keeping children in segregated environment, including gender-segregated, has subtle but serious harmful effects.
ReplyDeleteInfidel -- I think an open, inclusive scouting organization sounds good too.
DeleteLove the HuffPo piece. Go to any church potluck and see a host of Biblical literalists engaging in gluttony.
ReplyDeleteDonna -- Some people are very selective in the sins they condemn.
DeleteI am going to start making "god hates gluttony" signs for nationwide distribution. Happy New Year, Ahab!
ReplyDeleteJono -- Happy New Year to you too!
DeleteIt is quite amazing how selectively many believers read the Bible - which they claim defines their moral code. I can't think of a less moral book.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Ahab!
Agi Tater -- Long time no see! Nice to see you again at my blog. Fundamentalists are incredibly selective about the scriptural passages they heed, but the contradictory content of the Bible makes this difficult to avoid.
