Move over Kim Davis. Ark is latest embarrassment for us Kentuckians! I just picked up the Louisville Courier Journal, and saw an article about the life size replica of the biblical ark being built. I couldn't get myself to read the article. I can't even get myself to eat a snack for break time now(this is amazing in and of itself). I'm working with a couple of people who probably want to frame the article and put it on their desks.

The one in ky is being partially funded by tax money. Tax money being used for evangelism. Last year a neighbor of mine said that she hoped that it actually got built so that she could see how big the ark really was.
Tax incentive financing... http://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2015/11/ken-hams-ark-encounter-still-comes-with-a-heavy-price-tag-for-taxpayers/ A grant from the city of Williamsburg. Part of the real estate tax goes to repayment of the bond.
i don't know who kim davis is and i don't think i want to know, but all religious groups (not just christian, or western, or monotheist) should demand and receive equal funding, and use it to shelter and feed the homeless.
