You can only imagine the suffering I went through :)

I try to............;)

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

there are many of them already well-established in america, and several are being attempted in the uk but so far have not had the support of the council and the residents.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Can you give me any examples? In fact can you give me any evidence (other than anecdotal) that the sort of regime you describe happens at anything other than the tiniest of majority of camps?

In the 7 years I've been a Christian I have never EVER heard of any school of thought that says non-believers and those of other faiths are to be "tortured and killed".

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

firstly, i didnt say that it happened at the majority of jesus camps, just that it happened at some. obviously if it happened at the majority of camps, the world would be even more ****ed than it is already.

this is one of the camps in america, encouraging kids to kill themselves in the name of god if necessary. i cant find the video with the 'oh god may we kill the evildoers, may their bodies be burnt in the eternal fires of your wrath' etc

and heres a review by someone who watched the entire thing.

its just a little bit scary.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

So do you accept that what you say here...

...only occurs in the minority (if any, as you still haven't shown me any evidence of it) of camps, and that the vast majority are nothing like that and spread a peaceful message?

I wonder why.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

btw, your review from democraticunderground contained the reviewer's opinion that not any evidence that the people in the camps were telling the kids to kill doctors and bomb clinics and be Christian terrorists. So basically, it would appear that you are using some one else's opinion to back up your opinion, rather it being fact-based.

Is this another one of your theories, along the lines you posted in another thread

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

yeah of course i accept that it only occurs in the minority of cases. thats what i wrote in the first place.

wow, a quotation out of context. how about coming up with an argument rather than attempting to discredit me.

and as i said in the post that contained the first quotation, it is the opinion of somebody who has watched the entire video. as i havnt watched it all, only what is available to me, then i cant comment on the entire video, only what i have seen.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

So would you go as far as agreeing that in the lack of any real evidence there are in fact NO 'God camps' that promote the idea of torturing and killing non-believers and followers of other faiths?

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Ahem, you said in post #131 yesterday evening
The word "minority" or even "some" appears to have disappeared from what you wrote in the first place. ;) It does, however, appear as a qualifier in post #140 ;)

You said in post #140 this afternoon
which doesn't sound like you are quoting someone's opinion (imho), and as quoted at the beginning of this post, you had previously mentioned indoctrination about other faiths being tortured and killed.

I am not trying to discredit you (you appear to be doing a good job all by yourself :D), just pointing out a few discrepancies (imho) in your proposition

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

I thought the subject was ATHEIST camps not religious ones. :confused:

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Its a good idea, sort of, but kinds as young as 8 don't know about this they don't even know what this is, wait till they get a bit older then they can learn about different religion and see if they don't want to believe or not.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Well if you're not sure, you can ask Russ. he'll know :D

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

I would have thought that you would know, Gary, as you posted on the thread four times before Russ joined in..... ;)

Oh look, another article with Richard Dawkins' face plastered over it
