Confirmation camp, Bleh.

Archive: 19 posts


I'm going to a Confirmation camp for 3 weeks!

i dont know how you foreigners do things but here in sweden we have something called confirmation, its basically a course to learn the basic premises of christianity.
there are different variants of confirmation, the most common is meeting once a week and learning stuff about christ for half a year. you can also go for a summer-camp variant where a group of youngster learn stuff about christ, play silly games and sing silly songs.

i'm going to the summer-camp... Three whole weeks with neither a computer, a PS3, Internet or even a phone!

im not that christian myself, not very much at all. but i think the main reason why people go to confimation camps is that you usually get gifts from relatives at the end. greed is superior to faith.

So, bye for 3 weeks.

P.s if i begin babbling about christian stuff when i get back, shoot me.

DId your parents make you do this? If they did, I imagine you could get back at them by throwing some of the more...disturbing tenants found in the bible at them and just claim that's what you learned.2010-07-25 17:14:00

I did confirmation camp here in Norway, but I chose the more of agnostic kind, because that was the only option else than christianity. Not too fond of the bible. Like the "all 'bout love" thing, but not spread it thing. Kind of like AIDS, just that those who are infected wants you to have it.


Different tenants I know about, and I have found them as well in the bible (Pretty sure they are written in the four first books in the bible):

-You can sell your daughter as a slave if something something (not sure about that, actually I think you actually can just sell her without second thoughts)
-If your son or daughter opposes you, you can kill him/her (many versions of this, if he acts rebellious and etc.
-If your eye is bothering you, gouge it out, if your leg is bothering you cut it off (I suggest a doctor would be better)

This thread is really disgusting me. Did I accidentally head over to Youtube or something?

Edit: On second thought, I'm not gonna let it go at that. I can clearly see none of you are atheist (or agnostic or whatever the hell they're calling it this week, pretending there's a difference.) for any other reason than you all think "Iz be cool agnostic and stuff". This is sooo ironic, since many of the same people who will claim to be atheist will be the ones who I've seen mocking screamo and emo music in the threads here, saying those bands are trying to be cool. I have no problem with real atheists, but I will mock the fakers till my dying breath.

I'm guessing your religious then B3? I really don't believe in God or any religions at all. Though I respect everyone else's rights to believe in what they want.2010-07-25 18:53:00

i see myself as an agnostic and im going to make that clear to the other people at the camp.
and YES i know what being agnostic mean.

ps. i am not technically forced to go there but since it brings a bit of peace to my parents and money to my pockets i cant see what i might lose, except maybe a grasp for science and logic.

So... People who mock emo/screamo can't be atheist? You make no sense. I don't think there is a direct correlation between what genres of music you like/dislike and whether you believe in God or not. I don't believe in god, i think it's all ********. Problem?

Your sarcasm detector also seems to have broken, you should get that **** checked out.

Atheist = don't believe, agnostic = not sure if they believe, it's not pretending there is a difference, there IS a difference.

You say that it's ironic because all the people here claiming to be atheist mock bands you like for trying to be cool, which implies that people are atheist for the sole reason of trying to appear cool. Did it cross your mind that actually, we just don't believe in God? Or is that a concept which you are unable to comprehend? It's not ironic at all, you should probably look up the meaning of the word.

im kind of agnostic, i believe god is real but im not going to turn into a freaking preist about it, im not listening to some dude act like a broken record for two hours its like sitting on an airplane without the awesome sights and magazines just some fat dude and bibles. so anyways dude that really sucks. i hope the "silly games" dont involve the priests. church is a product of fear of hell, im not scared. whoever says god wants to be worshipped is smoking some REALLY good pot2010-07-25 22:49:00

Hey, guys... I'm going to go ahead and close this down. For some reason, religious debates bring out the immaturity in people... from both sides. I really don't want to offend any members, nor make it easier for you all to offend one another.

Sorry folks, but that's all she wrote.
