Christians Embarassed of Proposed "Noah's Ark Amusement Park"
FactFindingTimes

Posted on 12/07/2010 5:20:13 PM PST by truthfinder9

In a major recession, some brainiacs decided they want to build a $150 million Noah's Ark Amusement Park in Kentucky. The effort is backed by Answers in Genesis, the group that sunk millions into a "creation" museum that highlights their distorted view of science with such things as men living with dinosaurs.

Many Christians are asking, however, aren't there better things to spend this money on?

"Hungry people, missionaries, new churches, charities, all should be higher on the list. This is embarassing," said one churchgoer.

Another added, "How can we afford to waste this money while the government is busy destroying our economy?"

"It's time to reign in these people and put the money to something God would be proud of."

Uh, WHICH Christians are embarrassed? Where’s the link to the story? Or is this just your opinion?

Brings to mind the old saying, “Just because you have money does not mean that you have any sense.”

I'm a definite ID’er and I think this is a really stupid idea. This kind of disorder afflicts churches too. My own church is locked into a mess involving several properties and what I think is a half-baked idea about building a new facility to reach more people for Christ. Christians need to give up the big-box model of worship and evangelism. Christ, and him crucified, is the true and original formula.

> “such things as men living with dinosaurs.”

What idiots, our historical literature is loaded with discussions of encounters between men and other animals and dinosaurs, but for some reason they didn’t understand that the correct word was “dinosaur,” so they called the dragons and serpents.

How can it be a popular place if it is not in existence?

Did it ever occur to you that these museums and parks will create an opportunity to preach Christ?

Anything that reminds people that God is in Control, and that our grip on life is tenuous and bound to fail unless we are in the Ark (in Christ) - is a worthy investment.
'Christianity' (so called) is acceptable to the World if it descends into Deism, and pretends that God is an old duff who maybe did something billions a years ago, but has been 'hands-off' ever since. The Global Flood says otherwise

The AiG folks aren't holding a gun to people's heads to make them donate their money to this endeavor. Unlike the IRS and our tax dollars ... as we see our tax money used for all sorts of 'worthy causes' - such as propping about abortion mills, and 'evangelizing' the cause of abortion throughout the planet.

So Mr. Truth Maker... I’d figure with all the things going on in the world a true journalist such as yourself could find a real story instead trumping up one to tear down an organization that has done nothing but good and promoted Christ in an exemplary fashion. Your lack of sources and links by the way is stunning.

At the risk of sounding abusive I will simply post a quote.

A wise man once said, “Idiot”. And he was right.

“Hit and run” has been on since 2003. The biggest problem I see is that there is no link, no sources... no real content. It’s a badly written opinion piece by a loser with an agenda.

‘bout sums it up.

Not sure what you are rambling about, though I bet it made sense in your head. However, if your statement “an organization that has done nothing but good and promoted Christ in an exemplary fashion” refers to AIG, the group that disparages any Christian that disagrees with them, then you best look up “exemplary.”

P.S. The article wasn’t about them. Since you were confused, let me explain it: It was about Christians wasting money on stupid stuff when they should be helping the world around them.

Embarrassed, eh?

Better things to spend this money on?

"But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it. " - from John 12

Miles apart. Not at the same site.
