Ken Ham, president of the Answers in Genesis Christian ministry that built the $100 million Ark Encounter biblical theme park in Williamstown, Kentucky, riled LGBT advocates Tuesday when he announced that they will be reclaiming the rainbow for God with permanent rainbow lights for their life-sized Noah's Ark replica.
"We now have new permanent rainbow lights at the Ark Encounter so all can see that it is God's rainbow and He determines its meaning in Genesis 6," Ham said in a statement on Facebook. "The rainbow is a reminder God will never again judge the wickedness of man with a global Flood — next time the world will be judged by fire.
"The Ark is lit permanently at night with a rainbow to remind the world that God owns it and He decreed it's a sign of His covenant with man after the Flood — Christians need to take back the rainbow as we do at the Ark Encounter," he added.
Ham first launched his effort to take back the rainbow from the gay community when he lit up the ark with rainbow lights last Christmas, six months after the park opened.
Chris Hartman, director of the Kentucky Fairness Campaign, told USA Today at the time that the rainbow is a symbol of love, acceptance, unity and inclusion, "None of which Mr. Ham or his operation embrace or embody."
Of the rainbow light on the ark, he said, "It makes the ark look incredibly gay."
Josh Wagoner, co-chairman of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network of Greater Cincinnati reacted with mockery to Ham's Christmas campaign while raising concern about how young people will receive the message.
"I think the rainbow is big enough for all of us," Wagoner said then.
A majority of Ham's audience on Facebook reacted positively to the campaign Tuesday with nearly 34,000 people liking the comment and more than 8,000 expressing love for the move. Just over 1,000 treated the effort as a joke as of Thursday morning.
"For crying out loud, no one took your rainbow! Please stop trying to pass this nonsense off as Christianity. There is nothing Christian about judging one another. Just think what this world could be if we spent just half this energy finding ways to show kindness and acceptance and understanding and love to people who aren't just like us instead," wrote Michele Bowen Woloszyk in a comment that drew nearly 3,000 reactions. "If you aren't sending love into the world, you're just doing damage. If your religion/church is teaching you otherwise, you need to find a better way to spend your time."
"I think the symbol has already been lost. Might have been a good idea decades ago when homosexuality started claiming the symbol for their own, but it's too late now. Christianity does not have the cultural power to reclaim it," Shakir Tal suggested in another popular reply to Ham's call.
Josh Tanguay, however, did not see it that way.
"That's like saying, 'The world's already lost. What's the point in preaching the gospel, anyway? People don't listen to preaching like they did a few decades ago.' This mindset is what makes small churches become even smaller as their members die off," he said.
"We have a hope that endures throughout all of eternity based solely off of the promises that God has made and kept. Should we not continue to share that hope with those who are hopeless? The Catholics have tainted what the cross stands for, but have we done away with that symbol? God gives us reminders of His promises, the rainbow being one of them. Or have we neglected remembering God's promises and become as Israel?"
Excellent.
I always thought it was something to do with the wizard of Oz and the whole fag hag Judy Garland thing.
Honest.
Ya, what’s up with that??? Maybe if one is gay, one can deride something as being gay, just as black people are allowed to use the dreaded “N” word, while the rest of us are crucified if we used said word????
And, what of the homosexual desire to “celebrate diversity”? Doesn’t “diversity” also include celebrating the deep faith of someone who would build a Noah’s ark replica as part of a religiously oriented theme park?????
Red is the longest wavelength.
They're working on it-The Bible as Hate Speech? Gays Win Big in Canada.
I do know the spectrum order shortest to longest wavelength is ROY G BIV
Red is the longest wavelength.

Thanks for the correction! Sorry.

You should use the word “sodomite,” because that is the true description of who they are and what they do - it is also the biblical term for the sin they commit.
“Homosexual” was the first stage of revising the nomenclature, by purposely placing it in juxtaposition with heterosexual, so to make the act of sodomy appear to be “just an alternative lifestyle” on parody with normal human sexuality. From that point, the sodomites moved on to use “gay” - another perversion of language.
There is nothing “gay” about sodomy; not in the act, nor in the various bacterial and viral diseases its adherents contract, nor the subversive destruction sodomites do to their lives, their souls, nor to the lives of those whom they co-opt or seduce.
Saint Catherine of Sienna is known to have remarked that even the demons flee the sodomite, for reason that they are, by their initial nature, angelic creatures, and thus repulsed by so grotesque an act. Further, according to tradition, Saint Catherine was visited by an apparition of Christ, who told her that acts of sodomy were so vile and contrary to life that they literally made Him nauseous. Perhaps that is the reason why the sin of Sodom is numbered among the only four which “cry out to Heaven for God’s wrath.”
the homosexuaL/satanic rainbow have six- the number of man- satan has always set up his agenda to include 6 as a direct insult to God- proclaiming man is more important than God- the number 6 comes up a lot in the bible actually in relation to Satan and His attempt to rule and is key to the end times when man sets himself up as a god in the temple
::You should use the word “sodomite,” ::
I prefer ‘arsenkoit’.
Why do homos almost universally worship Judy Garland?
And while I’m here, what’s with their obsession with show tunes?
IMO, the best show tune of all time is “Everyone has AIDS”, from the award winning Broadway show Lease.
We are not to judge hearts - but we are most definitely called to judge actions. That is discernment of right and wrong, according to Gods’ Law, which is why reprobates so much despise the wisdom of discernment - because they despise God. They hate God, they hate themselves, and they hate all who point out their sin. They have willfully driven real love from their hearts - that is why we may say they have become “demonic narcissists.”
What the sodomites seek is indifference to their sin. But to be indifferent to sin is to truly despise one’s neighbor; for, as the parable of the ‘Good Samaritan’ teaches, the opposite of true love is not “hate,” but rather it is indifference.
“Red is the longest wavelength.”
True, in the VISIBLE portion of the energy spectrum.
Infrared is longer, then microwaves, and radio frequencies are longer still.
On the opposite end, after violate light, comes ultraviolet, then x-rays, and beyond those into the gamma region.
White light is the combining of all colors in the visible spectrum.
Homosexuals are all about mockery. They mock everything. The sex act (anal) that they participate in is a mockery of the sexual relationship of men and women. "Gay marriage" is a mockery of genuine marriage. They chose the rainbow to mock God. God will not be mocked.
I am glad this person took back the rainbow from these malcontents.
LOL!
I prefer “d*** smoking, turd burglaring, butt pirates” ...
OK, but seriously - it’snot a laughing matter.
