What gawd did not tell this guy to do...

[cynatnite]

He did not tell him to feed the hungry, help the poor, shelter the homeless or protect the meek.

Gawd told this guy to build a stupid ark...

[IMG][/IMG]

To Richard Greene, the man who has made it his mission in life to complete the Ark, its purpose is clear. Someday, these red girders will be part of the framework for a Biblical-scale replica of the boat which Noah is said to have constructed in order to escape the cataclysmic floods unleashed by God. It is a sign of the End of Days, the second coming of Christ, a warning for sinners to repent before it's too late.

The Ark is not functional; it will not float, and Pastor Greene will not be taking it to the sea. He is waiting for the sea to come to him.

Pastor Greene, who is 69 years old, says God instructed him in a series of disturbing night visions to build the Ark, and he has pursued the task with single-minded zeal. Those that mock the enterprise only fuel Pastor Greene's fervor.

"They laughed and mocked at Noah, but the flood still came," he said.

1. I hope that when it's finished, it's destroyed by an earthquake. Or a meteorite. n/t

2. These guys drive me nucking futs

I'm amazed they can stand there with that shit eating grin on their faces and spout off about the bible and yet have no idea what's actually in the damned book.

The disturbing night visions are probably this assholes own personal psychosis, he needs medication not a sky wizard.

3. Dumbass.

4. He doesn't seem to be working on it now.

Looks like the donations dried up a few decades ago.

5. The ark is still under construction - it's called God's Ark of Safety now

and they have a web page and everything. Pastor Greene died several years ago, I can't remember how many, but a new pastor is in place and is continuing to build. They only add something to the construction when they have the money. The last time I was out that way, also several years ago now, the metal framework looked like it was rusting badly.

6. Fuckit, he used the modern cubit, start over.

Out of curiousity, is there a single du'er here who actually believes the ark story?

Anybody, Anybody?



Is anybody out there?

9. "They laughed and mocked at Noah, but the flood still came," he said.

Kind of ironic, when you consider that he's likely a climate change denier.

10. Matthew 5:7 - "And Jesus said be not like the hypocrites who preach on street corners!"

13. OMG the memories

I have went past that thing on the highway (before I-68 was even an interstate) so many times. It's a landmark permanently burned in my mind.
