Summer Camp for Atheist Children

[cryo]

Saw this in my Chicago Tribune today. It makes me so sad that these children are so lost because of their upbringing. I pray they find the Truth one day. I will be interested to read the letter to the editors this article will surely prompt in the coming days. I am sure no article on a Christian camp will follow.

This is PRECISELY as stupid as anyone who'd form a camp for children who don't believe in Santa Claus.

Question: Why bother making an issue of something you believe to be fiction?

Answer: In their Heart of Hearts, they know God is not fiction.

P-R-I-D-E yes that's the sin for me, I stand alone on my own P-R-I-D-E
I say this because that's really the issue at hand in atheist. I was practically one once. And when you want to be right you don't care that you fight against anyone including a one whom you think doesn't even exist.

I hope they know. I couldn't get over the part of the article that discussed the kids going up in the plane and seeing no evidence of God in the sky. From my perspective, the view from a plane is the perfect place to see God, as I would just say to the kids, "Look around you!" What better place than out in nature, or up in the sky, to see God's creations!

My uncle, who is a minister, put it very well once when discussing the topic of atheists. He said if you ever get in a debate with an atheist, ask the atheist to tell you how much of everything that there is to know in the world he or she knows. A realistic response should be about 10% or so. He then said to follow up with the question, "Then, within that 90% of what you don't know in the world, can't there exist a God?" The answer has to be "yes."

Pride is definitely one of the problems at play; you are right.

Witness the obvious depth and understanding into human knowledge that some of them have:
An only child who'd like to have siblings, she was stumped by the story of Cain and Abel.

This actress-comedian (who's name I can't recall), who now is a Christian said, when she appeared on a couple TBN programs, that Athiests must believe in a God...or otherwise, why do they spend so much time trying to disprove His existence? That makes alot of sense to me, doesn't it to you?:nod

There's hope even for the children of atheists. Madalyn Murray O'Hair's oldest son is a Baptist preacher.
