If Girls Can Be Boy Scouts, What Does That Make the Boy Scouts?

If Girls Can Be Boy Scouts, What Does That Make the Boy Scouts? [Excerpts]

For more than 100 years, it's been the Boy Scouts. Its purpose was to grow and develop young boys into good men who become great citizens. Churches by the thousands have sponsored the Boy Scouts program because of its emphasis on being "morally straight."

"On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law: to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight," says the Scout's Oath.

But, the BSA announced that they would be making a major policy change. Membership would no longer be based on what's recorded on an individual's birth certificate, but according to the gender a youngster identifies. In other words, girls who believe they are boys can join.

For a number of years, the Scouts' organization fought back the tide of political correctness, more specifically, the infiltration of homosexual ideology. They even won a Supreme Court case, Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, clarifying that they had a constitutional right to set membership standards.

In 2004, the Scouts sought to strengthen their policies by prohibiting leadership positions to "open and avowed homosexuals."

Despite these advances, however, the BSA started to lose its way. In 2013, the Boy Scouts lifted its ban on openly gay youth. Two years later, they lifted their prohibition on openly gay adult leaders. Now the organization has abandoned all common sense by allowing membership on the basis of "gender identity."

What is more, today's Girl Scout could become today's Boy Scout! In fact, a girl who wants to be a Boy Scout might identify as a boy but still want to dress as a girl.

You'll have to forgive my sarcasm, but the point is a legitimate one. The concept of "gender identity" is the height of absurdity! It's the unfortunate consequence of a society that has for quite some time claimed truth is not absolute but relative.

"Your truth is not necessarily my truth or vice-versa," is often the claim. The belief is that no absolutes exist. Life is too complicated.

Such a view, I suggest, is several votes shy of a quorum. Those who tout this nonsense are described in Romans 1 as "futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts." Although they claim to be wise, they have become fools (Romans:1:21-22 [21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
See All...).
