Christian membership is falling like a stone in the US. The Ark Experience is in the heart of Bible country this is true. But once those people have seen it a few times, interest will inevitably wane. The ark is destined to be sold for scrap. I give it six years. Ten Tops.

Jeff, how do you expect ever to learn anything? I don't think you are capable of honest debate.

I'll give you someone on here who does that well... Katzpur. I think her religious beliefs are as wacky as yours, but she is a pleasure to debate with. I won't convert her, nor she me, but I can't think of many who have had discussions with her that don't respect her.

Try and be a little more like Katzpur, and less like the Jeff, the little boy. It would suit you well. Try it. Try being cogent, try not screaming "persecution" at every turn. You may be surprised at the response.
Oh please, I've played this silly game before. More condescending garbage. Funny when you mentioned zombies. That's how I see atheists. Zombies for Satan. You all sound IDENTICAL, with the exact same venom and bile dripping off your posts. I have more toenails than the number of nice friendly atheists I have EVER encountered.


I can't debate with someone close minded. You've already demonstrated that you have such animosity built up against my Lord and Savior that pretty much nothing can penetrate when someone has harden their heart that much against God.

If it's such a silly game...why do you keep playing? No one has handcuffed you to the forum.

Not answering again, I see, but crying "persecution!".

How can I have animosity against entities I don't believe in? Tell me, Jeff, how?

I have as much animosity against your idol, Yahweh, as I do against Thor. Do you have animosity against Thor?

You don't because Thor is irrelevant to you, you don't believe in Thor, and you don't care about Thor. In other words, you are an atheist about Thor.

See how that works?

Isn't that similar to how you feel about Islam or any other non-Christian religion?

Many of us atheists are not surprised. For you fundamentalists out there, try some thoughts and prayers.

2017:
July: 142,626 (Safety Fee amount: $71,313.00)
August: 106,161 ($53,080.50)


2018:

July: 135,922 ($67,961.00)
August: 98,106 ($49,053.00)


Imagine all the good the some $100 million it took in public and Ham fisted fund raising could have done, say, in Haiti. Just imagine.
I am a believee and even though I am not a Christian I agree with your notion.

There is ** A LOT OF MONEY ** that gets spent (wasted) in rituals and somewhat useless or of low importance practices in almost all religions.

This money can be used and well spent in a lot of better ways that could help humanity and on those who are in desperate need of very basic necessities.

IMO, a dollar spent to help someone is a lot better than $100 million spent on building a house of worship.

God does not need a high end fancy building to be pleased but he will reward you and help you in times of your needs when YOU help those who are in need.
