Noah's Ark park officials plan to sue Kentucky

[yortsed snacilbuper]

"Our organization spent many months attempting to reason with state officials so that this lawsuit would not be necessary," Answers in Genesis President Ken Ham said in a release. "However, the state was so insistent on treating our religious entity as a second-class citizen that we were simply left with no alternative but to proceed to court.

This is the latest example of increasing government hostility towards religion in America, and it's certainly among the most blatant."

1. "I won't follow 'da rulz,' so I'm gonna sue!"

I hope Ham gets a judge who tells Ham to simply take a hike.

2. You have the right to discriminate in your hiring practices.

Just not with the peoples 18 Millon dollars. Assholes.


"statutory right to limit its hiring to people of the Christian faith, and to the content of the messages that will be presented in the Bible-themed park

3. If I were Ken Ham I would

build a boat. A really big boat. Build a boat so big that I could put 2 of every animal in it. And then load up all the true believers in the cabins.
(Rich true believers would be in the cabins. The poor true believers would actually be down with the animals.)
That way when the floods come again the unbelievers will be swept away and all of the righteous can repopulate the earth.

It will not matter to me because I will probably be raptured up with the good people right before the rain starts. But just in case, I have a cabin up high on a hill with food and other necessities. (No sense taking chances.)

4. Answers in Genesis: Welfare Queen

Suing because the state won't provide tax incentives. It's a hold-up in the name of Ken H... I mean Gawd.

For Answers in Genesis, loss of the state funds could limit the size of the project.

5. Maybe God will chip in some dough from the collections *HE*s collected over the centuries.

Or, maybe *HE* will give them a low interest rate loan of maybe...8% over 12 millennia.

6. This lawsuit is a really stupid idea

The creationists are not a protected class and are not exempted from the non-discrimination laws

7. Why not put your money where your mouth is. Drop the suit and pray on it

I'm sure god wants to see a Noah's Ark park and will intervene on his behalf.

To call these religious nuts a bunch of whiny babies is an insult to whiny babies.

8. It's absurd that they were going to get tax incentives to start with

Gov. Beshear has done some good things but he lost me when he started pandering to these idiots.

9. I must have missed the part in the bible where Noah needed public funding for his ark.

If Ham wants to take the bible literally, maybe he should build his ark using the tools and materials as described in the bible.

10. Answers in Genesis:

If a snake offers you an apple, stay off the LSD.

11. 'Give us money or else!' Sounds pretty much like extortion.

Also sounds like a lot of christian money making scams/enterprizes.

12. I wonder how mr ham feels

about tort reform and frivolous law suits.

13. from the link.....

what part of this don't they understand?

"State tourism tax incentives cannot be used to fund religious indoctrination or otherwise be used to advance religion," Tourism Secretary Bob Stewart wrote in the letter. "The use of state incentives in this way violates the separation of church and state provisions of the Constitution and is therefore impermissible."
