AFA: Girls Joining The Boy Scouts Is Satanic

Earlier this week, the American Family Association released a video in which Tim Wildmon and Ed Vitaglino, the AFA’s president and executive vice president, respectively, railed against the news that thousands of girls have joined the Boy Scouts after the organization began admitting them earlier this year.

“This is, I think, a part of the ongoing war against the Judeo-Christian worldview, the way God has established mankind, male and female,” Vitaglino said, asserting that “the secular progressive … materialistic worldview based in evolution” is waging a “war against God and His divine order.”

“So, you think this is basically satanic?” Wildmon asked.

“This is Romans 1,” Vitaglino responded. “When any individual or community or nation, any culture, ignores God or refuses to honor Him and give Him the glory He deserves, then the Bible makes clear in Romans 1 that they are then given over to a deepening darkness and depravity and, unfortunately, that’s what we’re seeing happen in America.”

And we wonder why there's a sexual assault problem in this country.

9. The radio preachers, when not asking for money, always reel off shit like "Luke: chapter 2 says..."

12. My weekly "sermon" in the Top 10 - Holy Shit - makes fun of radio and TV preachers.

I should start incorporating that into each one. "Luke Chapter 2 says....!"

like Satan himself taking over the country. Kind of like not seeing the forest because you are being distracted by a sapling (in no way do I actually consider a sapling to be Satanic).

They had cookies and S'Mores and we had greasy meat and potatoes cooked in foil or beanie weenies.

loved many men, some white, some not. Thus I am not tagging all white men when I say that some are born thinking they are entitled because of the color of their skin and that thing between their legs. Those are usually the ones who have little else going on. As we learned today, it may take 4 women to combat a wealthy man, but truth and justice will finally prevail.

Girls joining the Boy Scouts do not diminish the scouts, nor do they invoke Satan. Eventually backwards organizations will get onboard and realize how much they have been missing all along.

Wish I had the patience and longevity to see it all happen.

But not against ‘god and his divine order’, whatever the fuck that means.

We are at war with theocratic right wing fascists.

16. I Do Not Agree With It, But It Is Not Satanic

I do not agree with girls joining the Boy Scouts, or boys joining the Girl Scouts, but neither is Satanic. I can actually see why some girls might want to join the Boy Scouts, but changes should be made to the Girl Scouts that allow girls to do more than just bake cookies.
