how angry would you be if your child was refused admittance into a club because of their beliefs?

Question

even if their belief is not the same as yours. or do you only get angry when your religious group is the one being discriminated against?

the club i am refering to is the boy scouts of america, and my son was refused membership because he does not believe in god..

Answer 1

I wouldn't join any club that would have me! =0)

Answer 2

It's not only wrong, but in most cases illegal to discriminate on such a basis. The only time it may be allowed is if it is a religious club and membership requires being a member of a certain religion (eg, some religious youth groups, etc).

Answer 3

It's something that Christians are used to. Millions of Jews were refused admittance into the world during WW2 and we can still live till today. It's God's glory, don't let the refusal to provoke our hatred in the humankind. It's totally not worthy and always stand firm in our beliefs even if it's not accepted by the majority.

Answer 4

It would depend on the club. If it were a religious-based club, yes, I could understand their not allowing members who are of a different religion.

If it's not a religious club, then I don't think that the religion of the members should matter.

But try telling that to the Boy Scouts of America.

Answer 5

Not angry at all. If you can't meet the membership requirements, go to one of them Atheist Scout groups. Personally , I'm tired of people thinking that every group, club or association must be tailored to them.

Answer 6

The solutions subsequently some distance do no longer take your question heavily. If the Biblical God exists, then you really ought to assume hell is the biblical hell: an component to eternal torment, an component to hearth and brimstone, the lake of hearth the position the maggots under no circumstances die and your thrust is under no circumstances quenched. all and sundry that heavily solutions this question by using declaring they prefer hell do no longer understand the Bible. There are some significant fallacies in this question. The God of the Bible gained't provide you with an probability to get out of hell once you die until eventually you've already huge-spread Jesus as your savior. also, putting your faith in Jesus is more effective than agreeing to "stroke God's ego." Biblically talking, there is not any such aspect as "hearth insurance," purely those that love the Lord will be kept. The Bible is sparkling that the human beings that use Christianity as "hearth insurance" will be considered goats on the time of Judgement. God can see the hearts and could solid the goats into the lake of hearth. purely those that love the Lord have actual faith and could be considered sheep and be blessed with eternal existence with God.

Answer 7

I don't know if anyone will understand this response, but:

I would call 1-800-ASK TOM, DICK and HARRY because I would be "scared and confused".

(See, here we have like three or four different people with 1-800-ASK numbers, that provide help for people in car accidents (need a lawyer, rental car, doctor referrals, etc.) and the people in the commercials often make some comment about not knowing who to call, being scared and confused, etc. One of them is allegedly suing the others for infringment - I'm not sure who he called to get that process started though. And lawyers get in on the action by saying "Don't call some Tom, Dick, or Harry number.")

Nevermind.

Answer 8

What kind of club? What religious beliefs?

I guess if your child's religious beliefs differ so greatly from the club he or she is trying to join, I would question the kinds of clubs you let your kids go to.

Answer 9

I won't be angry at all my dear. consider this, your child now is between two postioins. Firstly, to change his own beliefs in order to interact with this club or get stick to his own beliefs, and I tell you my friend;if he changed his own beliefs he will lose himself, and there is not loss greater than the loss of the self.Thus,you must not feel angry at all and instead feel proud of your own beliefs as long as you feel they are right, and know that not all people are like you. live well

Answer 10

It would all depend on what the club stood for. If it is anything other than the Trinity(God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit), I don't want them in there anyway. May God Bless

Answer 11

I would consider myself an idiot if I tried to make my child a member of an explicitly religious club whose religious convictions I did not share.
