Kentucky Cuts Education; Preserves Tax Breaks For Creationist Theme Park
Cutting education funding may or may not be a good thing (cutting the FedGuv Department of Education would unarguably be a good thing), but cutting education while providing tax benefits a religious theme park?
And the theme park in question hopes to build a full-scale “replica” of the mythical “Noah’s Ark.” Why? Well, apart from being perhaps a good way to separate some money from some people there’s this:
First, the Ark project is about discipleship. It will stand as a monument to the truth of the Bible in Genesis 6–9 and will call the church back to the authority of the Bible from its very first book. As believers learn the importance and trustworthiness of these early chapters, they will have the proper foundation for understanding the biblical worldview. So the Ark will stand to help us and other Christians fulfill the Lord’s command in Matthew 28 to make disciples.
Cuz, sure. If you build a fake boat, you’ve proven Genesis is literal fact.
I’m’a gonna go plant a tree, and thus prove the literal truth of the Eddas. I wonder if I can get some tax breaks for building a replica Yggdrassil?
There was a full-scale Podracer at the “Wings Over The Rockies” aircraft museum, thus proving the existence of The Force.
Extra fun: Kentucky is not run by wacko Republicans. It’s run by wacko Democrats.
