Curious that an atheist would care what others think.

I suppose atheism is a religion of sorts.

“we are not a rival to religious camps.”

Just a very multitudinally impoverished rip-off.

moral philosophy, ethics and evolution

Now this, I'd like to see....

How is ethics and morality going to be objectively true and binding without God ??... that would be interesting reasoning.

Yep, Dawkins, of all people, certainly wouldn’t want the little Darwinians to put their beliefs into practice when they assume power. The “survival of the fittest” certainly wouldn’t include one as severely handicapped as he is.

In the Invisible Unicorn Challenge, any child who can prove that unicorns do not exist will win a £10 note

You can't prove unicorns don't exist.

Does Mr. Dawkins allow any skepticism of Global Warming “science?”

They’re going to sit around and try to convince themselves that there is a reason for their existence.

Billy Ray’s take on CAMP GO-TO-HELL.....

WELL GOOD MORNIN’ THERE JOHN BOY & BILLY — AND GOOD MORNIN’ TO ALL OUR BELOVED FRIENDS OUT THERE IN RADIO-LAND. THIS HERE’S THE REVEREND BILLY RAY COLLINS FROM THE SWORD OF JOSHUA INDEPENDENT FULL-GOSPEL PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY...JUST OFF STATE ROAD 23 ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD.

OUR 2005 VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL WAS A SATAN-SMASHIN’ SUCCESS. ALTHOUGH, I DID GET SOME PHONE CALLS SAYIN’ “PREACHER...YER BEIN’ WAY TOO NARROW IN WHAT YOU TEACHIN THESE YOUNG’UNS.” WELL... DON’T WORRY, SKEPTICS AND AGNOSTICATORS — YER GETTIN’ SOME EQUAL TIME OUT THERE IN THE MIDWEST. FELLER’S GOT A SUMMER CAMP SPECIALLY FOR...ATHEIST TEENAGERS. READ A STORY BOUT IT IN THE NEWSPAPER. LISTEN AT THIS:

“UNGODLY FUN: SUMMER CAMP FOR KIDS OFFERS MEALS WITHOUT GRACE, CAMPFIRES WITHOUT BLESSINGS, AND LIGHTS OUT WITHOUT PRAYERS.”

SEE, THERE’S THE PROBLEM WITH KIDS TODAY: THEY’S JUST GETTIN’ WAY TOO MUCH GOD. SO WELCOME TO “CAMP GO-TO-HELL.” THAT’S A ATHEIST FER YA — FIRST THEY KICKED GOD OUTTA THE SCHOOLS...NOW THEY’S TRYIN’ TO KICK HIM OUTTA THE WOODS, TOO.

“ADVERTISED AS A FREE THINKIN’ ENVIRONMENT, CAMP QUEST BOASTS THAT THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ATTEND WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FREE INQUIRY — EXCEPT, OR COURSE, THE IDEA OF GOD WILL NOT BE PART OF THE EQUATION.” SO MUCH FOR FREE-THINKIN’.

WE KNOW THE PARENTS HAS GOT PROBLEMS. WHY WOULD A KID WANNA GO TO ATHEIST CAMP? WELL... HERE’S WHAT ONE GIRL SAID: “I DIDN’T LIKE HAVING TO SAY A MILLION PRAYERS A DAY AT OTHER CAMPS.”

LET’S SEE HERE: GOD IS GREAT...GOD IS GOOD LET US THANK HIM FOR OUR FOOD AMEN.

THAT TOOK PURT’NEAR 5 SECONDS. YEAH BOY...THAT’S A REAL KILLER. DO THAT FOR ALL 3 MEALS...YER WHOLE DAY IS SHOT!

THE FOUNDER OF “CAMP GO-TO-HELL- IS...BRACE YERSELF...A LAWYER. HE SEZ “WE TEACH CRITICAL THINKING. WE TEACH SCIENCE. WE TEACH EVOLUTION. WE HAVE A STRONG EMPHASIS ON SCIENTIFIC METHOD.” IN OTHER WORDS...HE’LL HIT YER YOUNG’UN OVER THE HEAD WITH EVER’THING BUT THE TRUTH.

“AT THE OPENING CAMPFIRE CEREMONY, THE DIRECTOR ISSUED A SET OF CHALLENGES FOR CAMPERS TO RESPOND TO IN SKITS. ONE CHALLENGE: HELP RESIDENTS OF THE FARAWAY PLANET QUESTERION UNDERSTAND HOW LIFE ON EARTH CAME INTO BEING.
ANOTHER CHALLENGE: PROVE THAT THE TWO INVISIBLE UNICORNS IN RESIDENCE DO NOT EXIST.

THERE YA GO: QUESTERIONS AND INVISIBLE UNICORNS. NOW DON’T THAT SOUND REAL ENLIGHTENED AND SCIENTIFIC?

BUT THAT AIN’T ALL — THE CHILDREN ALSO GET A WEEK OF SEMINARS THAT SALUTE FAMOUS ATHEISTS AND HUMANISTS LIKE MARGARET SANGER: THE FOUNDER OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD. ALBERT EENSTEEN: THE FELLER THAT WROTE THEORY OF RELATIVI-TISM.
AND TED TURNER...THE FELLER THAT STARTED CNN, THE COMM’ANIST NEWS NETWORK. WELL NOW — MAKES THAT “MTV BEACH HOUSE- SOUND LIKE A BOOGER, DON’T IT?

THERE YA GO, JUNIOR HEATHERNS — Y’ALL HAVE FUN SITTIN’ AROUND TALKIN’ BOUT THE GOOD OL’ DAYS WHEN OUR TAILS FIRST FELL OFF. HAVE YOU A GOOD OL’ FASHIONED SINGALONG LIKE “IF YER HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT BECAUSE OF A CHANCE COMBINATION OF INORGANIC CHEMICALS 4 BILLION YEARS AGO, CLAP YER HANDS!” BUT ONE DAY WHEN IT’S YOU INSTEAD OF A MARSHMELLER ON THE END OF THAT STICK...AND YER BEIIN’ ROASTED ON THE DEVIL’S BONFIRE...DON’T SAY I DIDN’T TRY TO WARN Y’UNS!

BY THE WAY...I HOPE IT AIN’T RUDE FOR ME TO POINT OUT THAT THE ATHEISTS THERE AT “CAMP GO-TO-HELL” WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE YER MONEY...EVEN IF IT DOES HAVE “IN GOD WE TRUST” WROTE ON IT. BUT THE CHURCH IS THE ONE THAT’S FULLA HYPOCRITES.

I TELL YA, BELOVED — THIS COUNTRY IS HEADED FOR SATAN’S RUMPUS ROOM FASTER’N OL’ OKRA WINFREY GOIN’ THRU THE LINE AT GOLDEN CORRAL!

IF YOU DON’T WANNA BE A PERMANENT RESIDENT OF CAMP GO-TO-HELL, COME ON OUT THIS SUNDAY MORNIN’ FOR A DOUBLE-DOSE OF THE GOD’S HONEST TRUTH AT THE SWORD OF JOSHUA INDEPENDENT FULL GOSPEL PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLY...JUST OFF STATE ROAD 23, ON THE FRONTAGE ROAD. THIS HERE’S THE REVEREND BILLY RAY COLLINS REMINDIN’ Y’UNS IT’S TIME TO TURN...SO YOU DON’T BURN.

JOHN BOY & BILLY — Y’ALL KEEP ‘EM STRAIGHT UP THAR...

Myself I have no patience with these lost and very useless people and they need to stop the chimpanzee references to humans.

Richard Dawkins is a fundamentalist, evangelical atheist, and he is proselytizing.

So will they make the sequel to “Jesus Camp” called “Atheist Camp”?

“There is very little that attacks religion; we are not a rival to religious camps.”

Which is why they’re also having another of these camps during Easter time right?

Wow, liberals truly have no shame.

(aimed at changing the way children think)

In order not to be hypocritical, wouldn't any camp with a specific teaching goal be the same?

Alongside the more traditional activities of tug-of-war, swimming and canoeing, children at the five-day camp in Somerset will learn about rational scepticism,

Of what? Of a self-existent, self-created universe?

moral philosophy, ethics and evolution.

What is it with the atheist fixation with morals and ethics? Why don't they just say "to blazes with it all?" Oh, that's right, their atheism is based on their superior ethical sensibilities. They don't believe in G-d because he's "so mean."

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen!
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark satanic mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England’s green & pleasant Land.
