It’s old now, but I came across this article on the Answers in Genesis website just tonight while trying to see if my dumb website showed up on anyone else’s website. Surprisingly, it actually does. Who would have guessed?

Anyways, there are apparently atheist camps for children that atheist parents can send their dirty little offspring to. To tell you the truth, I can’t actually figure out what the point of the camp would be, and I’m an atheist. Atheism is pretty much about accepting “nothing” as one’s world view, so I’m not sure what fun a camp about that would be like. It’s kind of like having an anti-unicorn camp or something. Would we sit around the campfire and not sing about unicorns? Maybe just stare at each other, while we wear our anti-unicorn shirts?

Of course, if I wasn’t so lazy I could actually visit the camp’s website, but I am, so I won’t.

Oh, and one other thing: I’ve never understood why religious groups have to fundraise for things like their creationist museum. If God can perform miracles, you think he’d also be able to either a) just make a creationist museum appear, or b) perhaps move some funds into an unmarked offshore account somewhere. You know, for safe keeping. Definitely NOT for setting up an online Texas Hold ‘Em website in Costa Rica.

Oh, and one other, other thing: I love the unintentional irony of the author in the article I linked to. He’s lamenting the brainwashing of kids at an atheist camp, but has no problem with celebrating the brainwashing of hundreds of thousands of kids who come to his establishment. Hooray, hypocrisy!
