The Boy Scouts of America is changing its name for the first time in its 114-year history.

Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There’s a lot I don’t like about the organization, but this is something a love–a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.

May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There’s a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won’t discount it even though it’s riddled with a dark history.

    Uhh no? But if he chose a name for himself, I would assume that the name meant something about him.

      So, to recap, you know nothing about my religion other than the name, and make assumptions about what I believe due to your prejudices, but you don’t believe that you have prejudices based on skin color. Is that correct?

        Yes, if your religion is named after the literal anti-Christ, I assume that you are anti Christian. And I don’t see what that has to do with skin color.
