Secular Humanist (aka athiest) attack on christians continues

[haissem123]

why the hell are they getting tax credits to begin with??????????

because every business today gets tax crredits. dah. 20 or 30 years tax free for casinos. plus all other perks. why shouldn't the ark get it?

 

[g5000]

The tax rebates are given to businesses. The rebates are law. The amusement park is a business. If the amusement park was denied equal protection of the law because it was religiously-themed, THEN that would violate the First Amendment.

The amusement park is just as entitled to those tax rebates as any other business is. I don't know why this evades you.


Now, all that said and done, everyone knows I am very much against all tax expenditures. No one should get them, for anything. They cause higher tax rates for everyone and deficit spending. They are a form of suicide.

It is religiously themed. Its purpose is to demonstrate the religious beliefs of its owners, ie that the bible is literally true and the earth is 6,000 years old.

Completely irrelevant to the fact it receives tax rebates and accommodations like any other business in Kentucky.

If Kentucky wishes to withdraw the tax incentives it offered because the park plans to discriminate it is well within its rights to do so.

I do not disagree. If the amusement park violates someone's rights, they lose their legal protections.

This is not complicated.

If you base your business plan/model on religious discrimination it is a bad plan/model.

I gather you were never admitted to any business school.

Ah, you attach a personal subjective "value" to a business plan and then try to insult someone else's intelligence for not agreeing?

yaaaaaawwwwwwnnnnnn

Nope, I am just pointing out that your lack of comprehension as to what makes for a sound business plan/model is so obvious that you patently don't have what it takes to make it in a business school.

Not my problem if the truth hurts.

Too funny - you want to assert that a "good" business model includes hiring people who do not support your business plan.

And THEN you wanna try to be arrogant about it.

BWWWAAAAAAAAHHHAAAAAAA

Tell me that's not the best you got. PLEASE!

That you are forced to lie about what I actually posted means that you have tacitly conceded that you cannot defend your position. Have a nice day.

Merely pointing out the idiocy of your post.
Sorry if the truth hurts.

Ironic!

I suspect that when the flood is reenacted every day, killing everyone, it is bound to have a negative effect on attendance.

Ok, I was just trying to stir the pot with what I thought was a hilarious OP. Ark World. Can anything be more bizarre. Yes, let's build a theme park to celebrate a myth whereby the LOVING GOD decided to visit a horrible death by drowning not just on every human, including children.

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Because of some unspecified wickedness, that is. And all the animals had to go too. Gurgle gurgle. Drown drown.

But Noah got to get saved.

And we think Disney World is a shrine to commercialism. The Mouse is evil but he ain't wicked. LOL

Anyway, I assume Ark World can decline to hire those who don't believe in the flood myth. After all, believing the tripe is probably necessary to sell that bs to the paying customers. So, belief in the myth seems a necessary skill But the state probably shouldn't give Ark World tax credits if they do base hiring on religious belief.

you can or should believe that this world is about to get "cleansed" by fire real soon. Isn't it evident to you? Doesn't the human "race" deserve it? i believe so, not happy about it but....

Fortunately, god told me to buy a motorcycle, instead of building an ark. I asked the tax assessor's office to waive the taxes, because the motorcycle is church equipment. I hold prayer meetings various AZ canyon recreation areas. It is not my fault that I am the only one who shows up. They didn't buy it.

Actually, if thou produceth evidence thou art a minister in a church recognized by the State, thou can claim thine sacred motorcycle as church property if thou usest it for holy church business, and thus be tax exempteth.

 

[nodoginnafight]

So a Muslim church would be required to hire a Christian pastor?

Is he qualified to teach from the Quran?

@ Carla-Danger: Is an atheist qualified to teach about Noah?

nodoginnafight, do you think someone working a concession stand asking a customer if they want fries with that burger is teaching anyone about Noah?

Do you think a ride operator checking harnesses on a ride is teaching anyone about Noah?

That the guy (or gal) with a trash cart emptying waste bins is teaching anyone about Noah?


>>>>

I think EVERYONE who works at any particular place of business should be prepared to contribute to the total experience of the guest - yes.

Betcha most atheists can explain the Noah and the ark story.

Most atheists like to THINK they know the Bible as well as Christians, but they really don't. But the flood epic is central to many ancient cultures - not just Christian.

Sure, but I'm willing to assume that the Ark Park will have a distinctly literal bible view of events. LOL

That's my take on their POV as well. And regardless of where I may disagree with them, I have to support their ability to hire the people they feel will best represent their enterprise. Now, after having learned more, my take is that they can hire who they want (and not who the state says they should) IF they turn down the taxpayer-funded freebies.

WIN - WIN !!!

I don't know why that evades you.

If Kentucky wishes to withdraw the tax incentives it offered because the park plans to discriminate it is well within its rights to do so.

A Mosque is religiously themed. If the City of Irvine wishes to withdraw police and fire protection because a Mosque discriminates it is well within its rights to do so. Right?

You wear your badge of ignorance so proudly!

The motorcycle is church property, and I only use holy gasoline.

I honestly don't know if they can hire whom they like by discriminating on religion. It's an issue that the Supremes will have to take up in the Abercrombie and Fitch muslim headscarf case
They sure shouldn't get tax breaks.

That you have this assbackwards is your problem.

Got it!

You think Title 7 is the supreme law of the land.

There's a reason that you're a leftist.

i told you I don't want it. But you all want to conquer the future and each other. what else can come of this way of "life" based on others death and suffering? you have become destroyers of world's and yet still play your violent games of conquest? we, all of us, are allowing this fate to come to us. Why you can't see it or won't admit it is beyond my comprehension.

[nodoginnafight]

Bendog, the Abercrombie case is an interesting one as well IMHO. I think if your business has a faith-based theme, then you should be able to select employees who support that theme. Not sure Abercrombie would qualify on that count. But then again, I'm not trying to spout legal theory here - or religious doctrine - just my own sense of right and wrong.
