Re: atheists camp for kids
 

If the Sunday School meant you went away for a couple of days for camping and activities, yes - otherwise, no.

But you probably already knew that.:dozey:

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

OK there you go, you've just bought yourself some thinking time.

So why do you assume at 'God camp' kids aren't encouraged to think for themselves?

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

my kids are grown up now they both went to beavers/scout camps ,but if there was an alternative i would have had no objections to them attending, if and only if it was there wish, i am a great believer in giving kids choices out side my own beliefs/none beliefs ,but as long as there was tents and camp fires i doubt they would really have cared about anything else.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Aside from there being no indication to you that they will be allowed to think for themselves. do you think it's a good thing if they are allowed to think for themselves?

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Good old hair-splitting Gary.....:D

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Yes.

Didn't I tell you this before? I'm sure I've told you before. I probably didn't :dozey:

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

How about you answer my question first ;)

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Me and Foreverwar have decided that Sunday school qualifies :)

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

The same also applies to children whose parents would send them to a "god camp".

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Answer: I doubt it.
your turn.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

So can we both agree that you've got no reason to assume that at 'God camp' kids aren't encouraged to think for themselves?

Well you see I haven't made any assumptions at all so I don't really need to have a 'turn'....do I?

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

No, because I went to Sunday school camp.

You said if I answered your question you'd answer mine.
play fair :)

Aside from there being no indication to you that they will be allowed to think for themselves. do you think it's a good thing if they are allowed to think for themselves?

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Ok so you're judging each and every 'God camp' in the world on your 'sunday school camp' (amazing we've not heard of this before btw) experiences?

I wouldn't have it any other way, as you'd expect.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Not all of them. just a majority of them.

I have mentioned going to Sunday school before. you should be able to find the references if you use the Search.

I wouldn't say I expect it. but it's good that you think that it's a good thing to let them think for themselves.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

OK which ones do you judge then? Perhaps the ones I might mention? If not what is your criteria for judgement?

You've never mentioned any sort of camp before, curiously.

Why would you not expect it? Have I ever displayed any of the traits of the stereotypical 'overbearing, brain-washing, door-knocking, evangelical christian' that you seem to 'have it in' for?
