    Did you watch the video? Chilling wasn't it? Are you implying that anybody who thinks as I do that Ken Ham is a dangerous liar is automatically a nihilist?

    Bit of a leap is it not? Please join the dots

    The idea of an Ark theme park is cool...

    Yea, kinda like a Hogwarts themed park is cool... it's a fantasy world re-created for our amusement.

    but to do it and get religious tax breaks and yet still reap all the monitary benefits...I'm not agreeable to that.

    You're right... the religious tax breaks have gone too far and for too long. Religions are businesses. Time to treat them like businesses. They should be taxed the same as any other business. And like any other business, they could then get tax breaks from local/state governments for choosing to build their fantasyland theme park in whatever state offers the best deal (which is another controversy in itself)

    How would you administer your tax code w/o the IRS making determination concerning mission? Taxation in principle is great. Also, for separatists, offering tax-exemptions can be endorsement of certain religions granted tax-=exempt staus. I don't see how pragmatic administration could be worked without politicans and bureaucrats deciding what religion is and becoming "excessively entangled."

    The reallity is that separatists are losing big time on every field. I see school prayer in the future. For someone age, that was unthinkable until only a few years ago. The trend is towards increased accomodation to religion. I have a great graphic stating this viewpoint. Sadly, I don't know how to import graphics

    In Old Engnlish script it copies the Establishment Clause and then...unless in the celebration of anything pertaining to baby Jesus.
