      On 10-22-10, ROSS SAUER said to ALL:                     RS>Just as I predicted, let these bastards kick those nasty atheists and gays       RS>out, (saracasm off) and they'll happily kick out religions *THEY* don't       RS>like too.                            RS>BTW, the ACLU is looking into this, as we speak.                            RS>A Presbyterian church was happy to have Jeremy and Jodi Stokes as Cub       RS>Scout leaders, at least until officials there found out they are Mormons       RS>and told them they would have to step down because the church does not       RS>consider them real Christians.                     RS>The Stokeses enrolled their sons as Scouts at Christ Covenant Church, a       RS>Presbyterian congregation about 10 miles from Charlotte, N.C., then       RS>expressed interest in volunteering as leaders. Church officials were       RS>initially thrilled earlier this month, the Stokeses said, until they saw       RS>on the couple's application forms that they belong to the Church of Jesus       RS>Christ of Latter-day Saints.                     RS>After two Scout meetings, the Stokeses were told their sons, 6 and 8 years       RS>old, could remain in their packs, but the parents couldn't serve as       RS>leaders.                     RS>http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130682153                            This proves nothing except that Christ Covenant Church has a certain criteria       that their Cub Scout leaders are expected to meet....that the parents didn't.                     The ACLU will no doubt obtain a ruling from some liberal whacko federal judge       that will fuck everything up for everybody else. And the windup will probably       be that there will be *no* Cub Scouting at, for, or by, that church       organization, for anybody!                     By the way.....the church is in the right, for the same reason that a Jewish       Synagogue would be right to refuse a Gentile to take part in one of its       activities.                     ---       *Durango b301 #PE*         * Origin: Doc's Place BBS Fido Since 1991 docsplace.tzo.com (1:123/140)    |
