You Can Go to Faith Camp, Summit Ministry Style

In Manitou, CO where young, college-age Christian men and women go and learn how to defend their faith against the evils of their liberal, secular universities.

Of course creationism is drilled into their heads using such metaphors as this to show the fallacy of Evolution.
Mr. Nutting shows a cartoon of a man standing next to a pile of lumber covered with dynamite. The cartoon man lights the fuse and -- boom! -- suddenly the lumber is gone and in its place is a lovely house. "That, folks, is evolution," Mr. Nutting says.

And the Summit shares its enlightened views on homosexuality with the attendees. They bring in "converted" homosexuals and family counselors to articulate that allowing same sex marriage will pave the way for such unions between father and daughter, brother and brother, grandma and granddaughter, and polygamous marriages featuring cousins, sons, and so on.

And its belief in the "stewardship of property" (ie unregulated capitalism) that a true "Christian believes the free enterprise system to be more compatible with his worldview than other economic systems."

Hell it must be good, James Dobson's kid attends. Sign me up.
