Ken Ham thinks he shouldn't have to pay taxes on his Ark Theme Park because....God

http://politicer.com/ken-ham-god-owns-earth-everything-anyway-pay-tax-pointless/


“Here’s my point: how, or rather, why, would you pay taxes on something you yourself own? Nobody in their right mind would do that. Like I said, God already owns all of Earth and every living and dead creature and thing on it, so there’s really no point in him paying taxes to himself, now, does it? All this talk about earthly laws and man-made rules makes me laugh, if we’re being honest. Sure, rip me off for another $18 million, I don’t care. Because, I know I’ll be rewarded in heaven, when I stand before God and he asks me what my sins were, and I’ll say, ‘God, I’m sorry I let them speak poorly of your good name.’ And he’ll forgive me and let me and my beautiful Ark through the gates of Heaven, and then he’ll look back at all of you and go, ‘Nope.’ And I’ll be laughing, oh, believe me, I’ll be laughing,” Ham concluded his rant.

So I am confused. Ham says it is GAWD's Ark but then he says it is "my beautiful Ark." So apparently he and God are the same, in his Trumpian mind.

and we'll excuse him from taxes. He's also got to provide his bona fides, and we mean miracle, not just a Hemingway lookalike.

All the money I have belongs to God already, so there's no reason for me to donate any of it to him or any other "Christian" organization.
