They're deluded and crazy. Don't let them be what you conceive Christianity as, because they're completely mad.
The wilderness and outdoors, to me, are living proof that God is real and He has created all things. I don't need someone to throw a bunch of facts at me to prove me otherwise, I leave that to apologists. When I hike and camp, I usually play worship songs on my little tin whistle, read the Bible, and pray. My worship is not only those three things, but mostly the admiration of the beautiful creation of God and the realization that the unclean ways of the world distract me from worshipping and being enveloped completely in the Lord's word and His ways. The wilderness is my escape from the world, my solace. I'm thankful for not only the life I've been given, but the wonderful and mysterious ways of nature. Through Him, I am given Life, and through Life, I worship Him.
While I may not agree with how some of you perceive God, or religion in general, I respect your decisions, and I hope that not only you've thought through your decision over eternity entirely, but that you are also happy with your decision and worship.
