Sorry to drop a fly in the ointment, but well, there
are a few serious hassles regarding 'duty to MY God'.
What would be the decision on the youth or adult who:
viewed Lucifer As "My God" , or
viewed the Sun as "My God"
(There are folks who do subscribe to such beliefs, and
in both examples, it is in fact a belief in somepower
higher than oneself.)
And what of the youth or adult who beleives that man
is the topof the foodc hain, physically,mentally and
spiritually, and eachunto himself is a supreme guiding
force who will do good, or evil, as his choices
direct?
Will there be a whole new passle of litigation on
whether one belief in the power of one is functionally
equal to a belief in a higher power.
With respect, I don't see the addition of one word
making matters a whole lot clearer or acceptable to
those who aredispleased with the course BSA follows at
the present time.
Maybe that's just me.
