If that's the worst we have to worry about then things are pretty good. I wonder, do the Girl Scouts recieve taxpayer money? If not, is it really any of our business? I mean I agree that any group that recieves public funds should not be allowed to discriminate in any way, especially those damned faith based charities, however, if a group doesn't recieve any public funds, it should be allowed to set any membership If you don't approve, no one's forcing you to sign your kid up. Then again, maybe we could start some sort of Atheist scouts... So you’re complaining about the Girl Scouts using the word god in one fo their pledges?

It would just be a more professional way to word their pledges, if they have to have unnecessary god-talk in them, to begin with.
