Facebook
Another reason to stay far away from Facebook.
I have many reasons not to be on Facebook. Stories like this just help confirm my decision

Eagle Scout here
I am an Eagle Scout and even have the Catholic BSA religious awards Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII. I acknowledged my Atheism at 18. I would very much like to be involved in Scouting, but the discriminatory policies of the organization keep me from being able to or wanting to.
When we moved here my wife mentioned to a few people that I was an Eagle Scout. I was contacted by a couple of the movers and shakers in the local Scouts. I volunteered once to help them prepare some land that was donated to them. Then I had a conversation with a couple locals about religion. I have never been contacted again and was given the cold shoulder when I tried to talk to one of the leaders about why I am no longer contacted.
Can you feel the love?

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
