Yawn...still a product of incest. Does it make you feel better that Seth could of porked one of his sisters rather than Cain? They all supposedly came from the original two...doesn't take an "astute" mind to figure this out - fucking your sister is still....fucking your sister. If the writer's of the creation myth would of known what we know today they would of have obviously allowed for this and had creation begin with a whole multitude of people. Unfortunately, however, they didn't understand that things like incest cause severe retardation and birth defects and that plant's are in fact living organisms.
Good to see ya QL...Respectfully, I'll simply maintain that this proposed scheme will never get real legs once the actual attorneys who work for the state of KY sit the Governor down and explain how it would be utterly smashed by any competent lawsuit claiming a violation of the First Amendment.
I know. You are smarter than that I hope. I do enjoy our spirited discussions though - it has became one of my favorite past-times on this forum second to getting all of the good gambling information.
I will start something really interesting one day soon on something like the rapture...that should really get the juices flowing.
heh....There's a lot of silly fables taught in Christian Sunday Schools, most with the honorable intent to deliver metaphorical messages of good behavior and morality. It only gets awkward later when grown adults try to peddle the fables as having even the remotest of scientific or anthropological factual basis.
WELL OKAY....blushing furiously now as I must confess that my initial take (subsequently echoed in a couple later posts) expressed within this thread is somewhat fatally flawed because I was foolish and took the posted TOPIC TITLE by the presumably well-intentioned ALSJunkie as being accurate and I did not actually follow the link to the cited coverage from the NY Times.
In fact - the proposal in Kentucky at this moment is not to "use taxpayer dollars" to finance any or all of this boondoggle.
Rather, the Governor is proposing that the legislature approve a series of tax breaks and tax incentives to the private investors who want to build the fantasy theme park.
While extremely dubious in nature, this places the state at far less risk of being successfully sued on constitutional grounds, in my humble and somewhat limited opinion. That is - I'm not fully versed as to if and when such tax breaks may have been offered to similar ventures in other U.S.-based jurisdictions, so I'm not confident enough to forecast that the proposal in Kentucky will be inevitably doomed.
