By this point it's already been made abundantly clear that the place doesn't indoctrinate children with atheism anyway.

They are not simply teaching them about science, they are encouraging them to think about science in a certain way to encourage certain ways to think.

Elaborate. You are making constant vague accusations and failing to specify exactly what the camp is trying to indoctrinate children with. I want to know.

...and offering the theoretical winner a £10 note autographed by Richard Dawkins. Is simply their way to make them agnostic at least, atheist at best, by comparing God to invisible unicorns.

The point is that the children would have no option but to come to the conclusion that it is impossible to disprove god (or to disprove anything that sets itself outside of human logic/understanding), which totally disproves your whole "they're trying to make kids think that science disproves god" nonsense.

The whole point of the place is to make them think of everything in a secular manner, and the closest thing to that is atheism. Making agnostics are just a partial win to that place.

Again, back up what you're saying. Preferably with evidence. All you've done throughout this whole debate is make assumptions regarding some sinister agenda that you believe the place has.

Its more of a secular philosophy lesson mixed with some science for a desired effect on young minds.

You actually have no idea what you're talking about. First you were saying that the camp wants to indoctrinate children into atheism and make them believe that science disproves god, and now that you've been shown that your accusations are complete nonsense (thanks to the link that you provided) you've resorted to vague soundbites like "a desired effect on young minds" while still failing to explain exactly what they're trying to do to these kids.

You sound like regular summer camps are part of some sort of pro-religion conspiracy.

That's interesting, since I didn't mention regular summer camps at all in my post. I was referring to regular, everyday society.

Wow. ok, you can all just bash religion like this. You're not any better. If someone wants to believe in something and it makes them feel more comfortable with themselves why not let them? Of course that link was really extreme. Not EVERYONE is like that.

I wouldn't be too worried about this. The only reason anyone goes to that camp is because they have a wicked awesome paintball field. One team dresses up as heathens and the other gets to be the righteous Christians and then they just go at it. Plus, they serve some fucking fantastic french toast every morning. They might not be able to get you into heaven, but they sure taste like it.

Christianity has been around and like this for like 2000 years man, it's just recently in the last few decades as the world became more international, accepting new religions, war and pain was not common that Christianity slipped away from view, honestly I don't find crazy people like this surprising.

I'm still a little wrapped over Fred Phelps though..I had a friend who went to a picket of his, apparently he is a very angry pissed off guy, even to his family it seems.

During that Harry Potter bit, I wonder if that fat bitch knew that the Old Testament is Jewish scripture.

I agree with that. I thought You had to believe in christianity and that it was the truth cause if you did not you were Evil. Then i read the bible and learned how Contradictory it was. Like an Ex minister told me the bible contradicts itself 110 times. He stopped believing in chritianity when he saw a dinosuar skeleton being unearthed. They told him that Dinosuars never existed but right in front of him was a dinosuar. He stopped preaching right then and there.

OMG, you're telling me dinosuars are real? This is the ultimate scientific discovery of the century. I demand pics of these so called "dinosuars"
