Like Father, Like Son
The media is reporting that the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) may be
considering a retreat from their no-gays position. One of those being
interviewed on TV was a young man in his late teens who had completed all the requirements
for Eagle Scout, but the award was withheld by the BSA when he publically came
out of the closet. The young man’s father supported his son saying
(paraphrased), “The Boy Scouts promote
being honest and telling the truth. My son should not be penalized for telling
the truth.” So let me get this straight. You want to justify using lies and
deception throughout a scouting career by finally telling the truth. Actually,
my angst is not as much with the son, as it is with the father. Not that the
dad has any sway over the son’s sexual orientation, but he is the adult. He is
the one who should have been promoting honesty and truth telling. “Train a child in the way he should go, and
when he is old he will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6 NIV)

-----I completely missed the insightful gem you found in this story. And it was so close to the surface, too. But I can hardly help noticing that, when plucked up, it comes attached to another gem. If one thinks lying is wrong, then one needs to stop lying, lest one simply marks himself as wrong. Now, if one is serious about stopping, he soon finds out how difficult that is. What? Did this gleaming diamond of honesty think the only implication of his truthfulness rested upon the public knowledge of his homosexuality? As soon as he could reveal that to the world his lips would be immaculately clean?
-----Let’s consider more. I lived on a farm. I know cows hopping cows and bulls hopping bulls. Gay advocates impute the abundance of these little activities to the general animal world, claiming that nature has selected a certain purity for homosexuality. But contrary to this fallacy of logic, and illuminating the depths of the argument’s deceit, what the cows and bulls and herd animals all around the world do lacks the penetrating intimacy which is the soul of the homosexual’s ambitions. Nor do these animals couple up into lifelong relationships where each others’ thoughts and feelings sink deeply into the psyche of one another. They are not seeking superficial sexual pleasures from their transitory gestures. No ascent to the sexual act is in them, let alone a savoring of it, and certainly not a completion of it. The animals merely engage in prepping rituals for the intimate event between one male and one female, sparking another life. To make it be anything more than that would be like considering it an act of gayness whenever two guys hug, or an handshake to be romantically holding hands. Every stretch is deceit. That is this kid’s problem. Male and female is the overwhelmingly predominant story of nature. AIDS and numerous other health problems consequential to homosexuality are its punctuation marks. This is not “you think” “I think”. It is observation. And observation demands honesty to become knowledge.
-----Yet observation hardly gets us out of the back yard. Compared to everything there is, we observe squat. That should be a clue. But, observation is worshipped today. Revelation is passionately, maliciously denied, resented, and stomped into the mud like a cigarette butt. However, truly more knowledge comes to every individual by revelation than by observation. Think about all those textbooks of your twelve to twenty or more years of education. Every one of them revealed to you knowledge gained by others. “OH! But they reveal knowledge from others’ observations,” surely is the retort. Sorry. Those others are much the same as you. They mixed the few, small gems of their own observations into the vast amounts others revealed to them. And so it goes, all the way back through the branches of the learning tree, all the way back to the first who ever observed a first. Revelation is undeniable.

-----The mere possibility of the Bible's God is also undeniable. So, if one is a true scientist, one then must engage the question of whether that possibility is actual reality, and if there has been revelation from this God. Everything of the truth depends upon that one question. And if he doesn’t research it to the end, he’s no scientist; he’s a deceiver. Many claims denying the Bible’s reality were fully sculpted and accepted on the basis of very much revelation being passed between numerous deceivers seeking proof for denial. Unfortunately for those deniers, the proof they revealed amongst each other was dreamt up before the overwhelming majority of archeological evidence about the question had been unearthed. The logistics of the Bible’s messages and of all historical facts combined with an unanimously supporting body of archeological artifacts along with every other kind of physical evidence shouts the truth of the Bible. (That statement is proven, but with a copious amount of time.) The Bible classifies homosexuality with many other abominations, including deceit.
-----But the kid, without examining evidence and analyzing logistics, summarily implies he is right about homosexuality, and the Bible is false. He stands upon improvable revelations denying what has been revealed to the world. Ohhhh, son! If you wish to be true, you must traverse truth’s entire distance. You can’t go halfway. Truth is not a partial thing.
-----Near truth's completeness is the simple finish line of the whole issue. Unless the Boy Scouts have the right to willingly group with each other around ideas of their choosing, we are fascists. Yes, of Adolph’s type. The Scout’s supporters pressing the Scouts to accept what the Scouts consider perverse enjoined with harmonious, wailing media zeitgeist and fuming government anger gave this kid an opportunity to swing a national organization around by the shorthair. It all is gleichshaltung; it all empowers bullying, the very technique of Adolph. And one who can not see the similarities between the early 1930’s anti-Semitic attitudes of Hitler’s Germany and our public's growing anti-Christian attitude is hardly perceptive enough to sugar his own coffee. We will live amongst what we will allow. Currently we allow the eating, the drinking, and the breathing of deceit coupled with excoriating anyone daring enough to reveal the truth.
-----As for the Boy Scouts, you don’t need massive bank accounts and assets. Tell your wavering supporters to go fund their precious deceptions. Hobby Lobby, Chic Filet, and numerous other wiser organizations stepping up to the vacated plate would send a statement to the doubting ears of our mindless, whimpy culture. It is either that, or today’s American gleichshaltung rebuilds worse than Hitler’s Germany. 50,000,000+ abortions testify. It starts with lies; it ends with blood. Read the whole revelation and observe.
Love you all,
Steve Corey
