With the recent change in Boy Scout policy, no longer banning openly gay boys from participating, many Southern Baptist churches are ceasing their affiliation with the Boy Scouts.
Great call guys, SO VERY CHRIST-LIKE!

---> LOL and your point is..........what?!? You can't have it both ways. You're always going on and on about following the Bible, and the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin, so wouldn't it be 'Christ-like' to set the group aside (as opposed to stoning them)?

Eh, assholes are assholes. Just reinforces the utter trash that permeates the south. Probably why the hillbillies will always be inferior.

Mmmmmmm, yes, ceasing affiliation with an organization that changed their core foundation to one which isn't biblical is exactly Christlike. {see how I did that, said the same thing you did, but without the sarcasm}.

"You're always going on and on about following the Bible"
This is true.
"and the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin, so wouldn't it be 'Christ-like' to set the group aside (as opposed to stoning them)?"
Actually, CHRIST didn't set ANYONE "aside". If you believe the stories, he hung out with the scum of the earth, who NEEDED saving. But what THIS church is doing is casting out EVERY male child that is involved in Boyscouts, because there MIGHT be a GAY male in there.
And YOU are defending this. If it was POSSIBLE, your number on the "creepy Christian scale" just went up a little more. That you would condone a supposedly caring, compassionate group kicking out the BOYSCOUTS, because they MIGHT have to deal with a gay kid, who probably NEEDS some support and some LOVE to get through what is probably a very difficult time in their life, is VERY telling.
And your condoned CHRISTIAN response? "Eh, fvck em." How VERY VERY compassionate. Lets hope when your SISTER was coming out, she had someone slightly more commpassionate than YOU around to deal with it.

So, as a Christian, could you point me to the Christian teaching in the bible that says not to associate with or teach woodland/nature skills to homosexuals?

What's funny is that if christian were really true to their made up faith, they'd disassociate with pretty much everything since their hypocrisy when it comes to sinning knows no bounds. How many churches have parishoners who are cheating on their spouses? I bet they have no issue with taking their collection plate $$$ each week. Or those in their church who have bastard children (which in this country is pretty much 50+% of all new kids) Going to disassociate yourself with those sinners?
The cherry picking is hilarious. If the sin affects their bottom line (namely getting $$$ to keep their cult running) they turn a blind eye to it.

I guess the cherry picking is ironic....
Boy Scout Oath or Promise
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
Waiting for the hypocrisy alerts in 3....2......never.....
too funny

No, pointing to OTHER sins or sinners is not the answer. I want to know where the BIBLE says you shouldn't ASSOCIATE with homosexuals (especially CHILDREN). I mean we can debate whether or not the bible is ACTUALLY against homosexuality (there are a NUMBER of translation questions/issues), but that is not the case here. No one is saying they have to ACCPET homosexuality, or PRACTICE it, just allow CHILDREN who are in a NONSEXUAL environment (the BOYSCOUTS) to continue to learn BOYSCOUT (NONSEXUAL) stuff.
