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.

    They’re stronger than the records we have for most other historical figures.

    Also I wasn’t born a Christian, lol. Weird assumption to make.

    Jesus exists in basically every world religion, minus Judaism which had to make a whole entire book explaining how he apparently wasn’t the messiah and mocking Him in the process. They all hold inconsistent views. Islam claims that he was a prophet (not God) and his resurrection was merely an illusion, Judaism claims he was just a sorcerer (as did most roman sources from His time, because that’s the only way they could explain away the miracles) Hinduism sees him as a holy man, Buddhism sees him as a Bodhisattva. But Christianity follows His teaching directly which was simple:

    I am The Way, The Truth and The Life, nobody gets to The Father except through me.

    I and The Father are one
