Those poor kids

Everyone has probably heard of the Atheist Camp (its actually called "Camp Quest UK") opening in the UK this year down in Somerset; just about every newspaper and TV channel has had someone comment on it, the story even popped up in the USA FFS, like it's such a fecking difficult concept to grasp?

Anyway I was wondering what the moral majority was thinking about this and courtesy of PZ here are some reactions to the story from some of the followers of Christ that frequent the "Rapture Ready" forum. This is a site dedicated to the idea that Jesus is soon to return to Earth and whisk away his followers to heaven, presumably then leaving the rest of us in peace, sounds like a great idea?

Anyway, some of the comments peaked my irony detector up to 11, enjoy.

"What kind of boring atheist themed arts and crafts will they do?" – Probably ones that don't involve creating models of instruments of torture, or maybe little clay models of the pope to stick pins in?

"Very sad indeed.....Jesus is exactly what these precious children need, along with their parents...How tragic."
– How often does Jesus turn up to summer camps?

"Lets face it Atheism is bankrupt so they have to indoctrinate young children." – Ah the irony, it burns.

"What child wouldn't want to become a Christian after experiencing a summer of nothing but empty, hopeless thoughts. Despair can bring people to Christ, the Gospel has several recordings of it" – Yes, Christianity does seem full of desperate people

"Those in Great Britain need our prayers as they are slowly sinking, and I'd especially like to request prayers for Creationfest -- a Christian surfer/skater/music festival being held in Cornwall August 4th–10th. Hopefully, many young people of southwest England will get saved during that time" – Err "sinking", that'll be all those fat American Christians who visit in the summer, its only a small island you know.

"What will they sing about? Give peace a chance?!?" – OK, a Christian who has a problem singing about peace, something wrong with that picture surely?

Oh, those poor kids.
