Re: Two Simple Questions for Faith
Also acknowledge that the billions of fossils and the form of the strata are excellent evidence for a worldwide Flood.
If you were honest, you would have to acknowledge that the billions of fossils and the form of the strata are absolute evidence AGAINST a worldwide flood. In fact, there is not a single shred of evidence anywhere on this planet for your mythological flood. As far as anyone can tell there are only 2 people on this whole planet that believe in your childish fable, you and Ken Ham.

So you think you have the right to take my taxes to support your religion? That's what you think the First Amendment says?

But I'll also point out that Christians pay taxes to support all kind of stuff in this nation that we not only disagree with but abhor.
Look, we all pay taxes and none of us are happy with everything the government spends that money on. I am sure that I don't want my taxes spent on plenty of things you want. It is the price of living in a society and civilization.
The point is Christian taxes are not spent to promote or support other religions and other citizens are not forced to support Christians.
Ken Ham doesn't want to follow the rules like the rest of us. He wants our tax dollars to support his religion. The rules say: if you want tax money you can't have discriminatory hiring practices.
I think his Ark Park is a scam and should never be built, but that's just my opinion.
One of those things I don't like my taxes spent on is giving businesses lowered tax rates or deferred taxes to locate in a state or county or city.
