Secular Humanist (aka athiest) attack on christians continues

[Carla_Danger]

So, to recap:
Can't use someone's Christian faith as a reason to not hire him? Totally fair.
Can't use someone's lack of Christian faith as a reason not to hire them? Totally unfair.

The law's a bitch when it's used against you.

So a Muslim church would be required to hire a Christian pastor?

Is he qualified to teach from the Quran?

@ Carla-Danger: Is an atheist qualified to teach about Noah?

nodoginnafight, do you think someone working a concession stand asking a customer if they want fries with that burger is teaching anyone about Noah?

Do you think a ride operator checking harnesses on a ride is teaching anyone about Noah?

That the guy (or gal) with a trash cart emptying waste bins is teaching anyone about Noah?


>>>>

I think EVERYONE who works at any particular place of business should be prepared to contribute to the total experience of the guest - yes.

Betcha most atheists can explain the Noah and the ark story.

I can, but I start laughing when I tell children they put two of each and every animal on a boat.

Yup, those 2 termites were a good idea!

No, they can't let the mosque burn to the ground. But they don't have to spend 11 million to widen I75. You think they do and that's why everyone can see that you are an idiot.

You're extremely stupid, which is why you're a leftist.

A Mosque requires expense for cops to provide traffic control during meetings and worship. In Detroit they probably DO have to widen streets to accommodate the extra flow.

Last I checked. the (i) in a highway indicated a federal interstate - so your claim is the state is investing 11 million (what porkulus generally spends on lunch) to widen a federal interstate?

Apparently, on Deck 3 of the Ark there is a Christ Theater. That's some real Old Testament stuff right there...

Ark Encounter

Nothing quite says "Jews not welcome" than a Christ Theater on a Kentucky Ark. "We don't need no Israelites settin' foot on our Noah's Ark, ya hear? This here's Jesus' ark!"

You can click on the exhibit layouts and hover over various parts to find out details.

I see birds and "small animals" will be represented (some live, some animatronic). There is a tiny, tiny area on the first deck for "large animals", but it does not look like two of every unclean and seven pairs of every clean animal will fit. The rest rooms are twice as big as the large animals section.

So there's your first question on the tour, Ravi.

I was going to ask if they would show the animals procreating on the ship or if they would show them procreating once the floods receded. I will admit to not knowing what the bible says on that topic.

 

[Ravi]

Easy to poke fun at Christians - yeah, I get it. And considering the fact that so many Christians want to impose their religious beliefs on all Americans, I can also understand the motivation.

But remember, Christianity is a pretty big tent.

Yes, but not the fundie division. In fact, as a non practicing Catholic I find the entire idea of making money off of the bible distasteful.

Ok, I was just trying to stir the pot with what I thought was a hilarious OP. Ark World. Can anything be more bizarre. Yes, let's build a theme park to celebrate a myth whereby the LOVING GOD decided to visit a horrible death by drowning not just on every human, including children.

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Because of some unspecified wickedness, that is. And all the animals had to go too. Gurgle gurgle. Drown drown.

But Noah got to get saved.

And we think Disney World is a shrine to commercialism. The Mouse is evil but he ain't wicked. LOL

Anyway, I assume Ark World can decline to hire those who don't believe in the flood myth. After all, believing the tripe is probably necessary to sell that bs to the paying customers. So, belief in the myth seems a necessary skill But the state probably shouldn't give Ark World tax credits if they do base hiring on religious belief.

Let's stop states giving grants to liberal non-profits too. I object to state money going to proselytizers of Liberal Religion.

Why not just stop giving money to any business? Why does a business deserve a benefit that individuals don't enjoy?

I know. This thing is amazing. I may have to go. I may have to be medicated to keep from laughing, but still. And you can buy a "lifetime pass." That could come in handy. Just in case.

Maybe we should have USMB day at the Ark!

Let's also include all of those liberal non-profits too.

No, but they aren't obligated to spend 11 million to accommodate them.

So they can let the Mosque burn to the ground because they don't want to spend the money to dispatch a ladder truck?

Fact is, you seek to deny civil rights to this Park purely because they are enemies of the party."Rights" are only for those favored by the party.

No, they can't let the mosque burn to the ground. But they don't have to spend 11 million to widen I75. You think they do and that's why everyone can see that you are an idiot.

State governments spend millions upon millions of tax dollars for privately owned sports arenas and amusement parks like Disneyland and Six Flags, and providing improved highway access to them. Please explain why this particular amusement park should not receive the same government gifts.

Hello? None of them should get those gifts.

A mosque, a synagogue, a church, any religious building has the same right to fire protection. They are not engaged in public business for profit. NA is and wants tax breaks. No.

But if the Ark Park is offering real dinosaur rides, I want one.

Do some research, dummy.

I was going to ask if they would show the animals procreating on the ship or if they would show them procreating once the floods receded. I will admit to not knowing what the bible says on that topic.

In dogs and horses, stress will keep the females from going into heat. Is this true for rats as well? Do you skip a cycle if you're stressed, Rati?

Anyway, I suspect being locked on a massive ship in a storm would be pretty stressful, so you'll have to find animal porn on the internet to get off to, rather than at this amusement park...

Okay, so they'll show the procreation at the end of the voyage. Interesting you know so much about horse sex.

Been going on for centuries. And yes, the RCC was the first multinational corporation that was raking in massive profits off the bible. They are stilling doing it to this day.

Coming from someone who resembles equine nether regions it is hardly surprising that he would be so familiar with the subject matter.

There is a great deal of procreating in the Bible.

My aunt bred Arabians. Big money, serious business.

Say, is the Ark going to be open on Sundays?

 

[hipeter924]

Uh, no.

There is no "attack on christians" there.

Its against the law to discriminate based on religion. Deal with it.

Ah, actually the pledge discriminates against Catholics*, Anglicans, and Protestants that believe in evolution, and that God created the universe. The pledge itself is an attack on Christians that don't follow creationism/intelligent design, and giving tax incentives to the park would be the state favoring one religious view over another.

Ark Encounter, which is slated to open in 2016 in Williamston, Kentucky, is not hiring anyone yet, but its parent company Answers in Genesis asks employees to sign a faith statement including a belief in creationism and the flood.

State officials and Ark Encounter lawyers have exchanged letters in which the state threatened not to proceed with tax incentives for the park if there was discriminatory hiring practices, a state official confirmed on Wednesday.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tax incentives were allowed anyway, even if the state budget can't afford it.

*The Catholic Church position is not in support of creationism or evolution basically, but clearly supports things like the fossil record and leans more towards modern science: Catholic Church and evolution - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
