creationists...right.
Greed, for want of a better word, is good.
If true it’s disappointing. We visited the Creation Museum five years ago and loved it. We also have plenty of AiG books and dvds. I respect Ken Hamm, but this is not being as “innocent as a dove”.
“Its not a church; its a money-making tourist attraction.”
It may be neither a church nor a money making attraction.
Sounds like the bureaucrats got greedy and wanted a larger share of the pie... are the entitled to it? Sounds like the folks at Ark Encounter disagree and are taking steps to combat the governments money grab. The local government is already getting plenty of increased revenue through tourism-related windfalls.
Don’t buy into the narrative of the article completely... there’s two sides to the story.
Say, who's that man who just came in and is flipping over tables?
That sort of fraud doesn’t hold up with private automobile sales transactions in Virginia. The state will bill you a tax assessment based at least on fair-market value regardless of what the bill of sale says.
But the city offer all services long before they instituted a fee, that basically targeted only one business.
And there is no need to toss in “anti-gay” as an epithet toward the group.
Sometimes these disputes do have two sides.
“...theres two sides to the story.”
Not from that article there isn’t! I think I read where the attraction hasn’t had the attendance numbers that they had hoped for.
I do feel bad for all of the homosexuals in Williamstown, Kentucky that were hoping to work at the Creationist Ark Encounter but have been turned away.
“Sounds like the bureaucrats got greedy and wanted a larger share of the pie... are the entitled to it? Sounds like the folks at Ark Encounter disagree and are taking steps to combat the governments money grab.”
They took the king’s coin.
The local politicians get greedy for more tax revenue, and decide to levy a special tax on the business.
Business fights back by declaring it is now an exempt business, and pulls a slick accounting maneuver. Some may deem this unethical and unChristian, but it may well be perfectly legal. Would this article have been written if this were a live reenactment of prebrimstone Sodom?
Greedy politicians have less revenue than they started with.
But they apparently acting very shrewdly!
Ken Ham!!! Have you hired Kent Hovind as your tax advisor???
And just what do you perceive that photo to represent?
I perceive it to be from the Creation Museum’s Facebook page.
It is SUPPOSED to be God’s rainbow according to the exhibit people.
Uh huh. And what seems to have prompted you to post that particular image, do you perceive some sort of meaning there, that you’d like to share?
Actually, from Ken Ham’s Facebook page.
