Yesterday I had the opportunity to drive a van-load of boys to camp. Three and a half hours with 8 boys ranging in age from 6 - 10 years old. What fun. What joy. During the time it took us to get to camp the boys were engaged in the normal conversations of boys: who would win in fight between the Hulk and Ghost Rider, who could belch the loudest, and etc...
But at one point I overheard the conversation drift towards religion and the variety of religious experiences. One of the boys told the others that his mom is "Agnostic." They asked him what that means, so he told them:
"It's when you're not sure that God exists and you only drink Dr. Pepper."
When I asked him to explain the connection between doubts in the deity and Dr. Pepper, the boy looked at me like I was the crazy one and the boys went back to their debate, Hulk -v- Ghost Rider.
