Somehow this turned into a big fat intellectual debate, when the whole point of WYD (from the perspective of youth and religion) is just for young people to come together and discuss beliefs, meet new people, deepen their faith (or not).
That sort of stuff.
Just because it's for catholics, does not mean that everyone believes the same thing and all.
I just think it's a bit exciting because there will be so many different people from so many different places, who you'd get to spend time with and learn about.
And back to what someone said on the first page, no, they probaly wouldn't have an athiest tent, lol, but the whole point of non-catholics being welcomed, I think, is for them to share the same experiences as catholics, and possibly find God or whatever they're there for.
I mean, if you don't like religion and you're not catholic, you don't have to go, do you?
Just pretend it's not happeneing, and odds are good that it wont bother you.
Personally I'm most excited about the 500,000 people camp out whats-its.
Also, I'd just like to apologise for my highly unintelligent and possibly incoherant post.
I have the flu and am attempting to study.
