Date: 2006-05-12 01:52 am (UTC)The Boy Scouts IS primarily a Judeo-Christian group.
The key word is "primarily". The Christian part isn't supposed to be exclusive; they claim to promote tolerance for people of all religions. Christianity is NOT supposed to be the whole point, if you accept what they say their beliefs are.
If you don't agree with a group, or expect a group to agree with you - don't join in the first place.
First off, most children don't have any idea what they agree or don't agree with except to parrot what their parents have taught them. Expecting them to make that kind of a decision is hardly realistic.
Second, when a group of people pick on someone for no better reason than their religion THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IT. Implying it's the kids' fault for being non-Christian is blaming him for the fact that the Boy Scouts isn't living up to its own damn philosophy.
