Yeah, a few hundred million retro-tax dollars would be fair. They should have the bejeesus sued out of them.

Everyone has their price, I guess the Kentucky creationists is $18 million. If Ham kept a straight face while he pulled this crap then divine intervention just might be a real thing.

Christians, like cops, need to speak up. These rotten apples are poisoning the whole group.

Discrimination Arc Park, from the BC period will feature genderless employees that can not breed unauthorized and every aspect of their lives will be controlled. How fricking fun is that?

30 days was how long the Jews wandered in the desert before they found Christian babies to sacrifice and drink their blood.

Oh gawwwwd’! I think atheists are actually keeping Dino Christo World open. They go out of curiosity and have posted some of the funniest pictures of and comments about that place on line in net history.

Visitor at the museum: “Oh look Mommy! That human is about to be eaten by a dinosaur!____It’s too bad God didn’t separate them by about 65 million years or so, huh?”

BTW: Kentucky has about a 27% child poverty rate. How can those children be helped? Oh…I know! Let’s subsidize a freakin’ lunatic Creationism Fun Park that has a $30 entrance fee!

“You’re talking about a lot of money here,” Johnson said.

That pretty much sums it up.

Anybody who thinks that the proposed grant is not about establishment of religion should spend all the time they need to estimate my chances of getting a similar grant for my proposed Atheist Theme Park in Kentucky.

Many, many years before Christ was born unto Bethlehem.

Haha… This is all just a big publicity stunt.

Jesus wanted to get the word out to his Relig-O-Right-Wing-Uneducated masses that they need to contribute, big time, to this entitled, capitalist, pseudo-“christian” venture…

So wait…they’re suing over not being able to get their free government handout? I guess bootstraps are in short supply in Kentucky!

“…maybe they could look up how much the government subsidized Noah when he built his Ark”

I understand that the taxpayers of Canaan paid millions of Shekels.

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

Beshear will be named as a defendant in the lawsuit, according to the statement from the group.

Steve Beshear’s father, grandfather, and uncle were all Baptist ministers. No one is hostile to their faith, they’re hostile to their hate.

If this were a normal business moving to KY (the state, not the lube) the state and local governments would be throwing money and tax breaks at it… and by normal, I mean a business that discriminates against ALL it’s workers…not just the ones who want to work and don’t care about the employer’s religion…

The Creationist argues that almost 100% of modern research scientists and biologists, every major university biology and biological sciences department, every major scientific journal and publication, the American Academy of Science, every major science institution and organization on the planet got it all wrong_____but some bronze age, superstitious bunch of animal herders got everything exactly right.
And their circular logic works like this:
(Q)“How do you know that?”
(A)“The Bible tell me so.”
(Q)“Why believe just that?”
(A)“Because the Bible is infallible.”
(Q)“How do you know that?”
(A)“Because it’s God’s word.”
(Q)“How do you know that?”
(A)“Because the Bible tells me so.”

___So just ridicule them and point out the nonsense. Arguing against such superstitious “belief” is useless and tiresome.

The creation of Christianity and the actual outcome of it aren’t really the same thing.
Something about conflating tax breaks with faith just doesn’t seem right.

You want a Holy theme park and to skate on taxes, pass the plate.

What happened to the self-sufficiency that Christian conservatives trumpet at every opportunity when the topic of taxpayers’ monetary help for the poor comes up? What happened to good ol’ gumption and bootstraps? Ken Ham wants welfare from Kentucky taxpayers. His “museum” is not self-sustaining. Attendees to this fantasy museum are required to sign a paper saying they won’t make fun of anything there.

Why Kentucky?? You’d have much better luck in that “den of evil” NYC…

And if ANYTHING in the Bible is found to be untrue or contradictory, the whole fabric can be unraveled once that thread is pulled and then book has no meaning. Shortly thereafter society collapses into anarchy. That’s how it gets reduced by fundamentalists.
