Above is a recent ABC Nightline report on an atheist summer camp. Text of the article is here.
I’m not at all surprised that there are summer camps dedicated for nonbelievers. What is intriguing is that these kids are regurgitating what their atheist parents tell them. There is a tendency for children to believe what their parents believe. I see this everytime a teenager posts a political belief to Facebook, knowing full well they haven’t investigated both sides of the argument.
I am surprised that the owners of the Christian camp are so willing to allow atheists to rent it, after all doesn’t that go directly against spreading the Gospel?
A poll conducted last year showed that atheists are one of the least trusted group of people among those polled. This isn’t too surprising to me, after all God’s word is the measuring stick to judge right or wrong. Without the Bible, what does society have to judge one’s actions?
Some atheists have a tendency to be as evangelical about their non belief as Christians tendency to spread the Gospel. Some atheists are just as close minded as they claim Christians are toward non belief.
I weep for these children mentioned in the report. They will likely grow up to be non-believers as their parents have raised them, without investigating both sides of the argument.
