Once again, we see the radical evangelicals indulging their own prurient bent; it could be through vicariousness or through "naughty" behavior of their own or by voyeurism. By golly, the morality police must watch all that sexy stuff..in service to the Lord, of course. How many big-time players in the world of evangelicalism have we seen who've had to publicly acknowledge their own sex-related "sins?" Dang. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they really are the experts on this subject!
There's a connection between the zealousness of the fringe and sin and redemption. For evangelicals, confession of one's supposed transgressions is the key to redemption. Get it? To put it bluntly, you need to "sin" in order to need redemption. Hallelujah.
Now, the Girl Scouts are in cahoots with Planned Parenthood to ruin our next generation of women. Right. Does the evangelical movement ever stop? Hell, no! That's why I write about the issue so much. Everybody needs to understand what's happened in the past 30+ years to our culture as the direct result of intervention and activism on the part of radical evangelicals. We continue on the road toward a theocracy. Navigation will be easy for the evangelicals because over half the population isn't paying attention to this trend in the first place; or, in some cases, they don't quite understand the issues involved but, hey, who's against God?...right?
The Boy Scouts shamed their own organization by prohibiting gay men from being scout masters; they caved in to evangelical pressure. Will the Girl Scouts quietly kowtow to the same movement now? At this juncture, that seems likely to me.
When I was still working, I always signed up for voluntary deductions from my pay to be donated to the United Way, never attaching any stipulations on how my money would be used. When the Boy Scouts issued their homophobic criteria, I started specifying that none of my contributions go the Boy Scouts. I further stipulated that my money go only to Planned Parenthood. Some of you could do the same thing. Many people aren't aware they can make those choices about how their donations to United Way are used, so I'm calling it to your attention. One of us doing this makes no difference in the scheme of things. But, a concerted activism effort organized around the country to reduce funding to these organizations could potentially have an impact. You know what they say: "Money talks, ....walks."
The Girl Scout organization is administered at the local, regional, and national levels. Let's all contact them before it's too late. Tell those offices you don't want the Girl Scouts to cave in to the evangelical movement's pressure for yet another inroad into our culture.
