Atheist Summer Camp Is Heaven on Earth for Nonbelievers

Most summer camps host kayaking, arts and crafts classes and campfires, but what makes Camp Quest Northwest different is that it is literally "beyond belief."

Located just north of Seattle, Camp Quest Northwest is a summer camp for atheists or children of atheists, self-described "freethinkers" or people not otherwise traditionally religious.

"We would encourage them to read, to go to church," said Chuck Wolber, one of Camp Quest Northwest's founders. "The best way to become an atheist is to study the Bible, and I definitely recommend the kids do that."

The secular sleepaway camp rents the area from another camp, and camp counselors used masking tape to cover any signs with religious or deity words on them, such as "Lord," "God," or "Gaia," and replaced those words with fantasy-like words, such as "Flying Spaghetti Monster," which they use to emphasize the imaginary nature of God.

I have discovered the best way to prove what the Bible says is true is to give them a copy of a book a friend of mine recommended. Called, 'THE COMING: A TRUE STORY OF HORROR' @ amazon.com. this book though written in a fictional style actually contains undeniable evidence that the Bible predicts actual dates that have come true, such as 688.a.d. 732 a.d 1948 and 1967 to mention a few. It is in one word….Incredible!!!

The crime of this is that they don't sem to be teaching children to be comfortable and confident in what they want them to believe as much as they are teaching them to be rude, disrespectful and confrontational when faced with opposing arguments. What a great cast of "free-thinkers" they'll be when they apply this principle in the outside world, and it's doubtful that they'll limit their insult first, reason later if ever, thought process to the subject of theology.

Freethinkers, will make an attempt to mold the minds of children in their way of thinking, is that what you call freethinking? What would be the penalty if a child should speak the name of JESUS CHRIST?

In this land of choice you not are giving anybody a choice, you are attempting to force your beliefs. Since this is the belief of atheists, people will not hesitate to sent their children to this camp, but I do hope there are some who believe that their children should be allowed to make a choice and keep their children out of this place.

Atheists, and liberals in general remind me of the zombies in "I Am Legend," viciously attacking in mob form anything they disagree with. It's nothing less than acid to our culture.

I have always had faith in God. My grandmother had a way in her demeanor that was almost divine like. Really. She never ever lost her temper but would show the error in you actions with wise words from the bible.Grew up with morals that way. After Madeline O'Hare won and got God out of school generations of kids have grown into the Atheist we have today.
Now with Christianity being attacked by the Devils advocates in America and the Muslims murdering Christians by the scores in the Middle East and Europe being over run with Muslims and yes even in Detroit it has been changed to the Little Middle East. From there it will spread all across the country, taking over the atheist population that is trying to put Christians in the closet, where we once kept the queers.To be honest……….This is the very thing my History teacher my Social studies teacher my Sunday school teacher my Preacher and some smart people I've met over the years Taught me or Explained to me or Schooled me and even Preached to me about the spread of Communism and the end times. Since the end of World War Two, the Liberal agenda has spread through our Open Borders our God is no longer allowed in our schools or in public places and UnGodly people have Ruined our Capitalist way of life and has now Attacked our Constitution with OUR OWN GOVERNMENT and corrupted the Back Bone of AMERICA herself.
After the last four years of them in power, we will be under Sharia Law by the end of the next. Then we will be done and just history OR prophecy cause that's when the GOOD LORD cames to deal with a ONE WORLD OUT OF ORDER.
