-For what it is worth, Girl Scouts USA just voted at their annual
-meeting (by a wide margin) to make the reference to God in the GS
-promise optional. It took my troop a little time to get used to, since
-they had always repeated the promise in complete unison, and timing
-was a problem. But the Buddhist girls felt much more comfortable. You
-see, not all atheists are irreligious. I hope BSA catches up before my
-son discovers his faith.
I have a problem with this post.....it implies that Buddhists are
atheists...they are not....atheism implies no supreme being,
Buddhists have Gods and Supreme Beings. Atheism is the lack of
religion. Buddhism is a religion, as is Shintoism, Mormonism,
Catholicism, Moslem, etc. None of these RELIGIONS could, or should
be associated with atheism.
