Are you claiming to be a Christian yourself?

Friend, I find your post disturbing on several levels. I am both an old-earth creationist and an ardent supporter of Reasons to Believe.

Some of my concerns are:

The tone of your post is most ungracious. You are gloating, enjoying other Christians' pain, and by your post encouraging others to join you. Hatchet jobs on fellow believers are contrary to Scripture.

There is nothing out-of-line about a $120,000 annual salary for a ministry head (e.g., Hugh Ross earns more).

There are better ways to make your underlying point, one with which I agree, by the way. Don't resort to the same methods you find so distasteful when AiG uses them.

Isn't it illegal for members of a nonprofit to financially benefit from the donations of their supporters?

Of course not, unless they are embezzling. In that case, it doesn't matter whether the employer is a nonprofit organization, a private business, or a government entity. Theft is theft.

If the supporters of a nonprofit organization believe that its employees are overcompensated, then they may become ex-supporters, and direct their donations elsewhere.

And what's it to you how other people distribute their financial support, anyway?

This is just a hatchet job from evolutionists.

Who knows if there is any truth to it. Anyone supporting evolution is a liar so I doubt what's being posting in such a gloating manner. Such a preoccupation with money ... someone else's money, no less. Oh well.

Gloat away and hope it's true, evolutionists!

Thanks for bringing this situation to our attention --- I'm going to send Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis a generous New Years contribution.

Are there any other Christian ministries that you would like to slander so that I can put them on my contribution list as well.?

From the sourced website: Jim Lippard said...

Dave:

I am embarrassed at my error, and you are correct.

I was looking for technicalities such as a separation of the museum resources into a separate legal entity, but I failed to notice at the top of the report that it is only a report for the first six months of 2005 rather than a full-year report. I'm not an accountant, and I've not previously seen a six-month Form 990 (though I have seen non-calendar-year Form 990s).

I will proceed to do what creationists almost never do, and apologize for and post a correction to my error.

Enjoy the piñata ...
