"how can i just look up and talk to God, if i don't know that this person is up there listening to me? how can i pray? how can i believe in him?"

this is an excerpt from an article npr did on a summer camp for atheists and agnostics. here is another part of the conversation with some campers: 

"i call myself a christian," he says, "but if i get proof that there is no God and no christianity is a wild goose chase, then i would completely abandon it."

"if God really really wanted us to know he existed, he'd make daily appearances: like, 'it's 3:15. oh, it's God time!'"

reading the article had me wondering why a camp would base its foundation upon developing agnostic thinking. then i thought maybe its because we just want to be around other people like us. what do you think a loving, christian response to camps like this is? or do we even need to react? i'd love to hear your thoughts/opinions/comments. this article was really fascinating to me. you can read it here
