I slept well, mostly. The sleeping pad I bought (to put underneath my sleeping bag) last summer is an inch thicker, and it works - I slept much better than I usually do when I go camping.

Marco and company headed up the food department. Is there anything better than grilled food?
In the evening things got a bit heated. We started taking about the 2 topics everybody says you shouldn't talk about - politics and religion.
Energy and the environment.
Capitalism.
Faith in the public square.
Such great topics, worthy of discernment and discussion indeed. Add a glass or two of wine, and you have all the ingredients necessary for an ... argument.
But it's necessary to have these "arguments" every now and again - iron sharpens iron.
I get a little bit tired of the argument that Christians are "blind sheep". That argument may have held in the past, but today, Christians are anything but blind sheep. We actually get a fuller education than the secular world offers, because simply speaking, we are taught both, the sciences and religion. Secularists are blind in only paying attention to the empirical world. They believe a priori that there's no need in studying faith-related matters, and are therefore completely ignorant of them. So who's really blind here?
