A juicy lawsuit in Kentucky's Future?
Preliminary OK for Ark tax breaks Lexington Herald-Leader Dec 21, 2010 FRANKFORT — A state tourism board gave preliminary approval Monday for a religious theme park to apply for up to $37 million in state tax incentives. The six-member board voted unanimously to give preliminary approval to the Ark Encounter park in Grant County. The centerpiece of the Ark Encounter park will be a 500- by-75-foot wooden ark, billed as a replica of the biblical Noah's Ark. The proposed project has garnered national and international attention, with critics questioning whether granting state tax incentives to the project would violate laws separating church and state. Gov. Steve Beshear has said the law does not allow the state to discriminate against a for-profit business because of its subject matter. But some groups concerned about the separation of church and state have said they might sue the state if the incentives are granted. - - - They'd damn well better sue the state. Tax incentives for a religious theme park? Oh, I didn't mark this OT because it concerns a boat, albeit a mythical one. "... a 500- by-75-foot wooden ark, billed as a replica of the biblical Noah's Ark..." Yeah, right, of course it is. What it is is another crock of religious crap. |

Why would I dispute that there were floods in "biblical" times? But a flood that covered the entire earth for 40 days, and that a bloke named Noah built the ark of the old testament and housed a pair of every creature on earth? Nope. I don't believe that happened. It's just a religious that a number of older religions share. |

While they may have believed in a creator, they didn't believe in the supernatural or in the "holiness" of holy books. Ever read the Sermon on the Mount? Ever get deep enough into it to read this: "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." Kind of flies in the face of organized religion's ungodly number of churches in this country, eh? I mean, if one is supposed to pray in private, why so many churches? The only christian in this newsgroup is Tim. He's the only one here, so far as I can tell, who has taken to heart the teachings of his savior. Whatever I may think of his *organized* religion, I have great respect for the personal deeds he undertakes on behalf of others. Many of the others who proclaim their christianity are CINO's whose statements here put them in the category of totally self-centered, selfish, "I've got mine, screw you" types, and they're certainly not what their savior had in mind. I do find it fascinating that those who most loudly proclaim their christianity are the far-righties who by their statements here obviously don't give a damn about their fellow man and his/her sufferings. Oh, and it isn't a matter of "Scrooge," Wayne. I don't have the slightest issue with the private celebration of the birth of the guy many believe is their savior. Have a happy and safe holiday, Wayne. |

Would they give Sea World the same tax break? That is the question you have to ask. Because tax breaks for churches support religion. That is the answer you have to get. But tax breaks for churches have been in the law since we had taxes. In fact it has been the case since Europe had taxes before the pilgrims came here. I doubt it will change any time soon. The real question is whether this is a church tax break or a business tax break. I agree, when churches go into business they should have to follow the same rules businesses have to follow but I bet if Sea World was coming, they would get a tax break too. The fact that churches get breaks from taxes doesn't make the practice right. |
