   Mormons kicked out of scouting

   Just as I predicted, let these bastards kick those nasty atheists and gays   
   out, (saracasm off) and they'll happily kick out religions *THEY* don't   
   like too.   
   BTW, the ACLU is looking into this, as we speak.   
      
      
   A Presbyterian church was happy to have Jeremy and Jodi Stokes as Cub Scout   
   leaders, at least until officials there found out they are Mormons and told   
   them they would have to step down because the church does not consider them   
   real Christians.   
      
   The Stokeses enrolled their sons as Scouts at Christ Covenant Church, a   
   Presbyterian congregation about 10 miles from Charlotte, N.C., then   
   expressed interest in volunteering as leaders. Church officials were   
   initially thrilled earlier this month, the Stokeses said, until they saw on   
   the couple's application forms that they belong to the Church of Jesus   
   Christ of Latter-day Saints.   
      
   After two Scout meetings, the Stokeses were told their sons, 6 and 8 years   
   old, could remain in their packs, but the parents couldn't serve as   
   leaders.
