When we pick a camp, I am considering applying to work in the office. Anyone ever work at a summer camp as a mom, not as a young counselor? (Been there, done that.)

IDA with you. I think God exists whether we acknowlegde him or not. He is indepenant of us. We do make up rules and beliefs etc but it's an attempt to understand what exists, not just imagination. Just MHO though. I don't expect you to change your mind. ;-) [ Reply | More

I don't anymore. Towards the end of my belief I used to pray everyday for God to show me that he/she existed. Life is much easier when you believe in God. [ Reply | More

It was a little more complicated than that. I researched it and I am still researching it reading both Christian and aethist writers/philosophers. It is a great question that everyone must grapple with - at this point I do not believe. [ Reply | More

Pascal said, basically, it costs you very little to behave as if there is a God and the rewards are infinite. Therefore, in the absence of absolute proof that God did not exist, it would be foolish to do anything else. (I'm sure he said it much better that is my interpretation and recollection of Blaise Pascal. This is usually refereed to as "Pascal's Gambit.") [ Reply | More

I could argue both sides. I do think that a belief in God is helpful as a child so we are attending church with our kids. But as they get old enough to understand ambiguities, I'll explain things in less black and white terms and let them make their own decisions. Right now, I like the community aspect and social outreach of our church so I'll take the God part along with it. [ Reply | More
