Want to serve food or operate rides at Kentucky's new Noah's Ark attraction? Then you must first pledge your Christianity. The theme park will be searching for 300 to 400 workers to fill food service, ticketing and other theme park-related positions at the 510-foot long Ark Encounter before it opens in July. Ken Ham, founder of the ministry Answers in Genesis, says employees will be required to sign a statement saying they're Christian and 'profess Christ as their savior'.

“Homosexuals, on the other hand, seem irrationally drawn to church. Maybe they think that if they infiltrate enough, they can force God to change His mind about sexual perversion?”

They don’t really care what God thinks, and they are not worried about the coming judgement on themselves. They want to infect the Church to make it ineffective so as to bring as many damned as possible along with them.

It’s a war of supernatural principalities where humans are mere foot soldiers.

One MUST choose sides, and there are only two. By not choosing God’s side, one by default chooses Satan’s army.

In these days, there are a lot of flamers and transgenders that profess Christ as their savior.

Wow. The leftists must be absolutely terrified of this exhibit. Instead of burying it in the news as usual, they go full frontal attack. Must be worth seeing.

I didn’t know that Creationists, of the 6000 year old earth variety, believe that dinosaurs were ever living creatures.

They could say that the exhibit has an evangelical purpose.

Good, this will separate the wheat from the tares, believers from the atheists, evolutionists, pagans, postmoderns, leftists, and libertarians.

As I think from a scientific standpoint Answers in Genesis is full of many inaccuracies and so I’m not likely to want to visit their attraction, but actually it is the small “l” libertarian in me that says they have the right to hire and not hire whomever they want for whatever reason.

But the flip side of that coin is that if I were to open a private business, or perhaps an attraction on evolution or the old age of the Earth, I should be able to similarly screen out YEC Christians from being hired. Yes?

If you open up this attraction for evolution based Christianity, you won’t have true Christians attend it. The people I mentioned, atheists, pagans, postmoderns, leftists, and certainly so, libertarians, you’ll have.

As to myself, I would avoid it like the plague.

To each their own as it should be.

Answers in Genesis has the right, as I already stated to hire employees who conform to and share their views. As to myself, I would avoid it like the plague.

Similarly, if I were running my own private museum, say something along the lines of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, I might likewise not hire Young Earth Creationists. And you would not be forced to work there and are free to avoid it, plague or otherwise.

Are we on the same page?

Yep, what you and your fellow evolutionists and atheist libertarians (both find a ready home in libertarian ranks) believe is as much an abomination to me, as what I believe is to you.
