Vacation Un-Bible school
 

When I lived in the UK, I wasn't really aware of church camps, I had never heard of vacation bible schools and I went to scout camps and was able to tolerate the scant evidence that it's a Christian organization. But apparently, the whole religeousness of it all was really bothering some people, so they came up with an Atheist Summer Camp. :eek: Think it would fly here? (with or without a treadmill) :lol:

? ? Why not just do a regular, non-religious oriented camp?

My thoughts exactly. Especially in the UK where religion really is generally not so "big" -despite Christianity being the official religion of the country. Churches are not generally the social groups they are here. Unless you're over 60. maybe it changed while I was gone. I doubt it, though.

Unless they plan on doing science, and want to ward away any parents likely to complain about little Jonny learning Evilution and demanding their money back, I don't see much point.

Though I do like this aspect:

I think it could be very poplular. Above the MD Line. :D

Think of all the campfire songs they won't be able to sing. There's Kumbaya, He's Got the Whole World (In His Hands) and Michael Row Your Boat Ashore, to name a few.

I wonder what they'll sing around the campfire? :)

Micheal Jackson songs.

:lol2:

Good one!

We need to create some FSM songs for them! There are enough musicians on here.....

we didn't sing religious songs at guide (=girl scout) camp

We sang about kookaburras in the gum tree and ducks in the swamp. and pop songs.

in fact, now i think about it, the kookaburras were gay

I cannot find a decent video of Web Footed Friends, but here are the lyrics i remember...

be kind to your web-footed friends
For a duck may be somebody's mother
It lives all alone in the swamp
Where the weather is always domp (to rhyme with swamp)
Well you may think that this is the end
Well it is, but to prove I'm a liar
It goes on and on and on
Only this time a little bit higher.....


Ohhhhh ..
be kind to....

etc.

huh. I always ended that song with, "well it is." bump da bump.
