It works on more problems than just the existence of God. Try the retreat argument on:
___* Squaring the circle.
___* Curing cancer with nothing more than spinach and a bowel-cleansing.
___* Knowing that the child really is yours.
With our patented retreat argument, we guarantee that you'll feel that you're right.
I spent my teen years in a group like that. Trust me, they know very well how to manipulate adolescent emotional reactions.
You didn't discover that God was real, you were manipulated by people who know exactly how to pull your strings.
You had young people, on a retreat. When you heard people crying "Oh God!", well, it may not mean what you think it means..
In Canadian indoctrination factori - erm, I mean separate schools - they call it TEC or Teens-Encounter-Christ. It's voluntary. I volunteered when I had lost about 95% of my faith, 17 years old. It uses hand-holding, darkness, candles and surprise. Unmarried men in robes were the highest "authority" present the whole weekend. It uses manipulation of unsure adolescent emotions. I succumbed to the emotion - I still like hand-holding - but not the supernatural fairy-tale. If I organized one of these retreats now at 43 with an agenda to teach pastafarianism, would you let your teen attend?
I am totally positive there is a teapot in orbit of the sun. I know because I went camping once. We talked about some stuff and stuff and had tea and s'mores, and went fishing the next day, and I couldn't focus on fishing at all because I KNEW there was a Magic Teapot. True story.
"I am here to prove that God dose exsist(sic)."
See? If you take a big enough dose, you'll have a religious experience! And you won't be able to spell, ether!
oh yea, i went on one of these retreat things, the best thing my friend and i took was a bottle of "southern comfort"
the singing and laughing was amazing!
Everyone that went up there unsure came back 100% positive that there is a God.
As in, Please god, stop the bullshit attack!
"i beleif gud speling exsist, to, but u cootnt proof it by Nydass"
Yeah, why don't these morons ever believe in spellcheck?
Nobody claims that believing in God doesn't have emotional effects on people. And honestly, I have no problem with that, some people are really helped by believing in a higher power. We on this site have merely concluded that we don't believe in one (most of us anyway)
I'd cry too if my parents ever made me go on some bullshhit church trip to be indoctrinated.
Thank the stars my mom was an atheist and my dad was agnostic.
Every time I see shit like this or Jesus Camp posted, it just breaks my heart. Those poor kids.
In summary:
Nydas: I'm here to prove God exists...by showing you what happened at Bible camp.
A rational poster: ...what, pray tell, happened?
Nydas: We sang songs and prayed and read our Bibles and-
A rational poster: *sigh* Carry on.... *thinks to himself* Idiot.
Meh'd
If this experience constitutes "proof" to you, that is your business. Your assumption that your narrative of an experience should somehow be convincing to me is painfully naive, but I can live with it.
Your merely asserting "It happened" is "proof"? Riiiiigggghhhht.
Oh, and which god, exactly, was that "100% positive proof" of again?
Zeus? Odin? Allah? Ra? Osiris? FSM?
Too bad you can't prove that you know English.
Sorry, Nydas, physical evidence is the only thing we will accept.
Mass-hysteria is actually proof AGAINST gods, I'd say.
This only reveals one thing: You're of one of the sects that think acting out, speaking in tongues, getting all shaking, splaying about or falling on the floors and acting up down there,,,is closer to God.
You're wrong, and stop faking this shit, no one, not even your own, really buy that crap, especially since you see it EVERY FUCKING SUNDAY.
It kind of saddens me that I've got a far better story in favor of God existing than any idiot like the one quoted here, and I don't even particularly care to "prove" whether or not he exists.
I mean, mine is a coincidence, sort of a medical anomaly I guess, that ended up saving another person's life in a situation that should have killed them. This shit is literally just "god exists because we think so, so there".
“Proof of God... I am here to prove that God dose exsist”
FINALLY! Whatchagot?
“No i dont have physical evidence...”
Shocking.
“my churches”
’Church’s.’
“youth group went on a retreat this weakend...”
Weekend. God, it’s going to be one of those.
“we started some heavey”
Argh
“prayer along with some very spiritual songs... There were some 40 + people on this reatreat... Everyone had there own unique experiance.”
Ugh.
“I myself Rested... There were alot”
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
“of cryers”
Oh, please.
“and a couple of laughers... Everyone that went up there unsure came back 100% positive that there is a God.”
Um…that’s what they believed when they went UP there, right?
So a group of like-minded people reinforced each other’s communal beliefs? This is proof, where you come from?
All you’ve shown is that people believe.
We’ve always known people believe.
There were times when I believed.
I just don’t think so any more.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
