Ken Ham and his Ark of Ignorance
I'm sure you all know this from previous conversations as Ken Ham has been working on this project for years. I find it ridiculous to protest it. http://www.news.com.au/world/aussie-noahs-ark-is-ready-to-set-sail--trex-included/news-story/56baeeaa8665fc5d4e99bbabb4bae59b

I agree. Protesting it is foolish in a multitude of ways.
Someone should drag it to the ocean and drop it in. I bet it isn't seaworthy.

The fuck it isn't worth protesting. Why the fuck do you even question even the theist on this website, if you are unwilling to question an even bigger fraud who is selling lies?

Brian has absolutely no concept of the fact that protesting this not only is incapable of accomplishing anything worthwhile, it also gives Ken free advertising. If a protest could force Ken to tear down this exhibit or make him post a sign with a disclaimer even, then maybe you could argue for a protest. But it can't. All it can do is spread the word to more christians and make Ken's wallet fatter. Yet more proof Brian is really a theist: he wants to help Ken Ham make money.

I normally refrain from name calling but are you a moron? Really? or are you just being argumentative just for the sake of it?
The 'ark' was built like a house. It has ridged foam insulation, plumbing, electric and HVAC for climate control.
There isn't an ounce of pitch or tar used for sealing the monstrosity, so it would sink quickly.
My personal favorite is the financing of the project. Ken Ham is a dirt bag. He has manipulated things for his own profit. There is an article about the finances here.

I also find it funny that it took over 1,000 engineers, architects, craftsmen and labourers to build it over. They had to use steel and heavy machinery to build this piece of shit. And it also took them over 4 years to build. Noah supposedly built it with himself and sons over a 120 year period using no machine tools and of course no forests near by to provide the wood needed, plus the tar and pitch needed to seal the exterior and interior.

And watch the video too at the bottom.
It amazes me with all the science disproving this story, many of my family and friends believe it to be true.
There is athiest outrage about all the tax breaks and other government benefits to get this project built. But if one believes that government has to role to play in promoting private business, why not? Why should there be a bias against a business just because of a religious theme. Jobs and money are all that matters.
It is going to bring in a lot of tourist dollars. After all a fool and his money.
Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen
I have no doubt that other projects received tax breaks from a non-profit scheme for a project which was for-profit, which is what Ken Ham is doing. However the fact that it was caught, exposed to the public and the government of that city, then ignored is blatant disregard for the law and done for profit. I have no doubt that people involved with the decision are getting a kick back.
Governments are doing this kind of BS all the time with developers of sports stadiums and convention centers. Government and business puts some money up front, then they both soak dollars from the tourists. The fact that is was religious business this time got all the atheist panties in a wad.

Yes, I can attest to that. TIFs are very common for a wide variety of ventures ranging from factory expansions to warehouse space to college buildings to solar or wind farms. Any bullshit project that a politician thinks will be popular and could conceivably bring new jobs. Whenever you hear a politician brag they brought X number of jobs to a community, they are referring to a TIF.
If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X
I'm also quite sure that Kentucky will profit from this, so from that perspective it was a good thing for the government to invest in.

What a load of fucking garbage. Whatever short term financial gains you think it will provide, the dumbasses attending it are not simply treating it like Disneyland, they believe that shit is a true story, and if they keep selling that you will have more and more scientifically illiterate morons.
If any religion wants to peddle their fantasies they can do it on their own time in Sunday school.
Profiting off of gullibility to dumb down society is not my idea of a long term solid plan.
This is the bullshit you enable while hypocritically criticizing it at the same time. Does it ever occure to you that when you RIGHTFULLY challenge the absurd claims of any religion you are freeing that person from bad claims?
If you really believe Kentucky will profit from that in a good way, then to me, you might as well believe that bullshit yourself. Or by benefit you mean like P.T. Barnum, "A fool and their money are soon parted"? So profiting off of the fears and desires of gullible people knowing they are buying a lie is ok with you? Why the fuck are you even here on this website?
Disneland and Kings Dominion are REAL theme parks and far more useful. That Ark is a monument to human gullibility.
But even worse than the fact it is a scientifically absurd story, the morality of it is absolutely vile. It is an act of mass genocide, including babies and toddlers and men and women, whom would have to include even those whose only crime was picking the wrong club. Drowning is a very painful way to die. Our death row inmates now get lethal injection, even we try to find the most painless way to end their lives.
But even after all that, the story has only one family left, so without incest and fucking their own family exactly how does the theist explain the repopulation of the planet?

The Holyland Experience here in Orlando is a not for profit which recently won a court battle to not pay 2.2 million in back taxes to Orange County. Then the law makers made a law saying that any amusement park which displays (etc) holy scripture is not taxable. Well, you might think this is bullshit, which it is, but they claim it is no different than a museum which receives tax exemptions for displaying WWII or space exploration stuff.
The Holyland Experience is fucking profitable. They handle 3,000 people every day at $40 a pop or roughly $120,000 a day. Plus with that tax exempt status the family which owns it is fat a fuck. Then they also have a routine which never needs to change. Same song and dance every day. No need to add on to the experience until the attendance drops.
Ham is going to do that same thing with this 'ark experience'. He's going to have a Jesus roller coaster and a tower of heaven, etc. He wants to be non-profit but have a place where he can peddle the bullshit story of jesus and make a fucking fat check every month from the "non-profit" status.
Why you think it's in Kintucky?

No it's almost certainly a fact.
They already believe it is a true story retard. And you're the one who wants to give it free advertising. You're literally dumber than most of the people who would pay to see this ridiculous ark.
Which is exactly what they're doing.
Because your understanding of economics is roughly equivalent to a speck of dust's understanding of economics.
Typical fascist Brian who wants to kill everyone who doesn't agree with him.
No really? What do you think I've been doing the last decade? You fucking idiot. lol
Because you're blinding ignorant on nearly every subject in human history.
Strawman.
These days it's mostly to challenge your bullshit. Fonzie doesn't come around very often, and the only other irrational theist here is you.
They are all equal in their usefulness. Which is to say none of them are useful.
Free speech asshole.
Not relevant to the topic, and just another strawman anyway.

I thought as responsible citizens we are all supposed to subsidize everyone else's personal choices. So if a someone wants to have 30 kids the rest of society is supposed to subsidize it, no questions asks. So why not subsidize religion as well? Shouldn't matter that it is destructive to society. The import thing is that people are free to do as they please.

I think Bill Nye should have gone silently, instead he gave Hamm more free advertising.

fuck your mother, yank.
Exercise in gross religious stupidity. Investers put 100 million into this deal. Jeeeze.
HAHAHA. Ken Ham is a fucking douche. His ark encounter is failing.
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2017/06/creationist-ken-ham-blames-atheists-ark-park-failure/
Could it be that he teaches that dinosars roamed the Earth when the humans did? 6,000 years ago? What a fucking moron.
Here is another good link in association to this story.

Read about that a few days ago. Lot of people not happy with him right now. XD

How dare we point out the fact it is a bullshit story. Hey Ken, you cant blame us because we didn't write it.

Did you know the bible didn't say 2x2 on all the animals? some of them were 7x2, something his arc encounter completely missed?
