Private messages - which is what they are. Admins on this forum can see every activity a member does on this board - they know who is pm'ing who etc. They just don't know the content of the private message, if this is what you are raising this issue for. |
cheers for the info thought it might have changed to public

Glad to be of some form of entertainment.
But just for the record - The user in question was suspended yesterday for inappropriate behaviour, it was a 1 day suspension. That user then chose to register a second account to evade his 1 day suspension which is a very serious offense and ultimately was permanently banned. So no he was not 'bullied' and I don't want to see any more accusations of such nature or any other post discussing how/why a member was banned, you have your answer.
Back on topic.

Re: atheists camp for kids
This is all going so off topic......again!
Any proper thoughts on the original posters questions after the link he posted, I for one am interested on others serious view points, even the strong dogmatic ones!

Re: atheists camp for kids
Well so far I don't see anything that indicates to me that children at this camp will be allowed to 'think for themselves' as people are putting it. What if a group of them get together and say they've decided there is a God, will they be 'encouraged' to think otherwise?

I think it's a good thing that 'kids' are given this opportunity to think for themselves.
if you go to a God preaching one, you are told to think in the way of being told that God says this and God says that.
this one is where you are told if this is this then does it have to be that, kind of thing.
if anyone has any objections to kids learning to think for themselves in this way, then are they annoyed with it for the wrong reasons?

Re: atheists camp for kids
I think it is great that the kids are taught to be open-minded and enquiring, whilst in the great outdoors - what's not to like.

How many 'God camps' have you been to where kids aren't encouraged to think for themselves?

Not directly but someone may have fed them a false line. But generally checks and balances don't seem to apply to Richard Dawkins.

And you know this for a fact, how?
Or is it one of your "assumptions"?
My son went to Scout camps (one of the examples in news article) from age 7 to age 15, and he was never instructed in the way you describe (in fact, he can't remember religion being discussed, except in the fact you should respect all faiths).
