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.

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.
