Re: atheists camp for kids
 

A man has freewill to think. thinking doesn't have to be a judgement.
the ones I see on Youtube, the one I experienced as a child.

I didn't mention going to the zoo with them either :rolleyes:

You said "as you'd expect" just because I wouldn't, it don't mean that I think you're a stereotypical 'overbearing, brain-washing, door-knocking, evangelical christian.

Hi, Lucy.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

its turning into another lets get the thread shut down cos it mentions religion show ,pointless bickering as per the norm .

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Do you think your attention would be drawn to the uncontroversial and friendly ones? Just like "Vicar prosecuted for child abuse" makes headlines whereas "Vicar spends 50 years looking after sick an vulnerable children" doesn't?

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

I watch all types on Youtube, Russ? that's a big assumption to make that I only watch the bad ones :(

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

I didn't assume that - I'm suggesting the majority of camps making the media are hardly likely to be positive ones.

From the actual camp itself - CampQuestUK

a) from the Director's twitter
b) from the web page
I liked this point on their "about us" page, one of the four "Our Purpose" statements -
"Promote respect for others with different viewpoints, values, and beliefs"

And on their FAQ pages, in response to the question - "Are you an anti christian/muslim/religious camp?", they state -
"Not at all.
Camp Quest is often labelled anti-christian/muslim/religious for the affirmation that it is OK not to believe in a god/dess(es). The camp is based on humanist principles and seeks to promote tolerance through the understanding that there are many ideas in the world.
Camp Quest’s aim is to get campers thinking and asking themselves questions, while equiping them with the tools to go off and come to their own conclusions about a wide range of topics.
There is no ‘atheist dogma’ or agenda, but an atmosphere of inquiry is created and the campers are encouraged to discuss ideas of interest to them"

So, not really an atheist camp for kids, then, more of "think about things and come to your own conclusions" camp for kids.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

One religious/atheist thread closes, another opens. :banghead:

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

There's not much to discuss really, they state clearly what their intentions for the camp are, and they are being misreported.

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

...and sometimes, unfortunately, like buses three come together. Or at least that's what it feels like. :banghead: :)

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Actually as far as I'm concerned it's just another one of those threads..the topic is immaterial.:rolleyes:

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Why can't we all just love one another.....

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Oh yes another topic that can only lead to being one of those threads when one starts to consider permutations.:rolleyes:

Re: atheists camp for kids
 

Is that an invitation?
