This is my favorite thread.
I wish I had fun experiences to share, but the only one I do is how disgusted I was with the way the preacher tried to appeal to the children at the bible camp I briefly attended. His message was always that the reason you should be a Good Christian is because you'll be rewarded in Heaven with whatever you want, whenever you want. You could eat donuts all day and never get fat, you could get all the video games you wanted, etc. He didn't tell us why we wouldn't need all that in Heaven or why we shouldn't want material goods or anything; in fact, we should view God as a source for material goods! I remember being obsessed with owning a motorcycle when I was younger and I asked the preacher if I could get one if I prayed enough. He said "yes, of course you can."
