'Freethought' Kids' Camp Launches in Texas (Temple of Darwin evangelizes children with evo-religion)
ICR ^ | August 26, 2009 | Christine Dao

Posted on 08/26/2009 8:09:07 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts

Even in the heart of the Bible Belt, Texas isn’t immune to the proliferation of atheistic propaganda, whether in its public schools or now in atheist summer camps.

Camp Quest—with the tagline “It’s beyond belief!”—bills itself as “the first residential summer camp in the history of the United States for the children of Atheists, Freethinkers, Humanists, Brights, or whatever other terms might be applied to those who hold to a naturalistic, not supernatural world view.”[1]

The first UK Camp Quest, which received funding from the Richard Dawkins Foundation and other private donors, launched late July in England, and five other Camp Quest locations have been established in North America.[2]...

Holy crap, this article has nothing to do with your made up title ‘...Darwin...” . Evolution never mentioned, or Noah’s Ark either.

More nonsense from you !

For all those kids who have no idea why they're alive. Because they're parents won't tell them.

Free thought as long as you worship the doctrines of Darwin and hate any other thought. Real free there!

Why do you have a problem with this, GGG?

I actually think it is a great idea. There will be moments when the individual child will be away from others and able to observe the universe in its splendor. Then they will feel the inevitable tug and wonder.

Wow!

You found a pro-creation article on a pro-creation site!

Daily drivel again.

The camp was originally set up by one of the high priests of the Temple of Darwin, Richard “Darwin’s Lapdog” Dawkins.

Really??? Well then how come they don't mention him in promoting this ‘Darwin Worship’ camp?

To contrast you mention Darwin in every single of your posts, you got a Darwin obsession. You could run the Darwin channel at FR, LOL, “All Darwin all the time”

Please take your contemptuous pontificating somewhere else. The guy you ripped was not saying that everyone should think like him, he was just ripping on these idiot atheist camps, which last time I check is still his right to do so.

As opposed to the pro-evolution articles on the pro-evolution sites? Unfortunately for the Evos, their data is always better interpreted in terms of creation/intelligent design, as God’s creation resists naturalistic explanations. Just think of all the time and money the Evos have spent collecting data that is better interpreted by creation scientists!

I have a problem with it because that “church” is teaching children to embrace a religion that rejects the God of the Bible...

So many errors, so little time.

First of all, it's you that calls it a "church" and a "religion". They do not.

Second, "rejects". One can believe in God and evolution simultaneously. Many Christians do.

Third, "God of the Bible". No they may reject YOUR interpretation of just who God is, but they don't have to either reject God or the Bible to do so.

I know you'll find this unbelievable, but your point of view is actually very narrowly held. Many people have actually gone beyond Bishop Usher's 1650 theory of the date of creation.

The "fundies" like to think of themselves as a majority, but their brand of Christianity was basically born not in the manger but in Cane Ridge, KY in 1801.

As far as the polls showing belief in creationism, they never show you the breakdown by race and education for a good reason...

What would be more surprising to you, that Jesus existed when dinos were still alive, or that Jesus actually created the dinos???

Actually, pretty close to half the country believes that God created the world and its inhabitants fully formed and fully functional between six and ten thousand years ago.

Either would be a shocker.

God allowed for the dinosaurs to walk the earth and die out many millions of years before Jesus’ time.

Is it so hard for you to believe that God used evolution as a creation tool?

Did He tell you HOW He created? I doubt it.

"...contemptuous pontificating..."

Hmmm, I'll have to file that away for use later.

"..The guy you ripped was not saying that everyone should think like him..."

By his own words in this and other threads, GGG truly believes that any faiths held that contradict his view are a one way ticket to Hell. He most certainly wants everyone to share his views. To that end, he posts THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, to the point of irrational obsession, using the same handful of sources (ICR, etc)

This is probably AT LEAST his 10th post about Atheist Summer Camps for kids, to which I responded to ONE.

GGG routinely denigrates those who post opposing points of view, and in fact, you even use the term "idiot" when referencing the summer camps you disagree with.

But of course I am the one "pontificating contemptuously".

OK, creation and John the Baptist.

Your point?

Thank you thank you, and thank you. You post a whole lot but never really say much. But these words tell a story. What exactly did God say HE did? Now I understand your disdain of Rush.

YES those dinos walked this earth multiple of (no man alive can testify with any accuracy to when) millions of years ago before God placed that soul into flesh beings. That fact has absolutely nothing to do with this godless theory of evolution.

John 1:8 He himself (John the Baptist) was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

In short, Jesus created the world and everything in it, including the dinos.
