From the News Desk ::

Eagle Scout Darrell Lambert, 19, has been given a week to profess belief in a higher power or be banned by the Boy Scouts for his atheism.

That has 'Law Suit' written all over it.... stupid people..... sigh

The boy scouts have the right to let in who they want. It's not a "right" to be a boy scout although why anyone would want to is beyond me....

District Chairman Glen Schmidt said "Anyone that doesn't believe in god isn't a good citizen." He also said "if an Atheist happened to find a wallet laying on the ground, they would "pick it up (and) plunder the money."

What is interesting is that the scouts accept anyone who professes belief in any diety or supernatural being. As long as you believe in a "higher power" you can join. That's pretty vague. Wonder what would happen if you said you were a devil worshipper?
