Words of advice on love:
- Don't ever let someone tell you that you are not in love.
- If you say that you THINK you're in love, then you aren't. If you really feel it, then you are.
- Never let someone judge your relationship unless they know FACTS.
- To me, age is not an issue. If you are 13 and dating a 30 year old, then it's a big deal. If it's 5 or 6 years, not a big deal.
- If you are being abused mentally/physically GET OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP! Don't give the excuse that he apologized. If he loves you he wouldn't do that to you.


I'm not a fan of answering questions that are listed in the FAQ. If it's a question you can look up on Google then please, look it up on google. Don't be lazy.

I'm an Aethiest. I strongly believe that there is no god. I respect other people's religions, and I don't try to convert people or anything. Now, I've been in scouting for years. Lots of years. From a Tiger Cub Scout in 1st grade to a First Class scout now (I'm kind of slow with scouting). Anyway, the requirement for every class that says to live the Scout Oath and Scout Law in your every day life is now being enforced. My parents made me describe each part of the Law and Oath in great depth. When we reached Brave and Clean, I was starting to slip up. And then we reached Reverent.

Boy Scouts expects everyone to believe in some sort of god, and be straight. Gays and Aethiests have been kicked out in the past. And since Boy Scouts is a private thing, government can't interfere. People have tried to sue and lost the case. Now, I want to keep scouting. I love being a Boy Scout. Plus, it'll look good on my job application forms when I'm old enough that it won't be against child labor laws. =P So my options are:

a) Quit scouting (I don't want to. Really.)

b) Believe in a god (I'm not going to change my beliefs because of this. It's not in human nature.

c) Lie about my religion (Also against the Scout Oath. Not good.)

So obviously, I'm screwed. What should I do? It's putting so much pressure on me...

Wow, you are in QUITE a pickle there buddy.


If I were you, even though it's going to be hard would be to quit scouting. If someone is FORCING you to believe in some sort of God, or religion then you should leave. Lying about a religion is just a dumb thing to do, regardless of the situation.


I'm not an expert on girlscouts or boyscouts, so I don't know HOW good everything will look, but it seems as though you've been there for a LONG enough time, where even if you left now, it would still look JUST as good on your work applications and even college resumes.


This is something you're really going to have to think about. What is weighing more heavily in your life? Scouting or your non belief in God?

What I would do, is come up with a list of pros and cons for each option. (Sounds silly, but hey it does work!) Make a chart, head it with Quit Scouting, Believing in a God, and Lying abour religion. Under each heading, write a good thing that will happen, and a bad thing that will happen.


Hopefully, everything will work out for you. I don't think you should force yourself, or have anyone force you into a religion. Again, if I were you I would quit. I am agnostic.. But I hate when people try to push religion on me. I wouldn't lie about having a religion either.


So, try what I told you and I hope everything works out for the best. Best of luck to you.
