I'm sure you won't be bitching when the revenue rolls in..
That revenue is but a drop in the bucket to what the state needs from a fiscal perspective. And it's a thinly veiled move by our current Governor to push for eliminating the boundaries between religion and government. He dumped UofL's Board and has placed people on it that are in clear conflict with heading a public research university with their anti-evolution/science stances. He has routinely met with West End pastors to try to influence their religious takeover of public schools via charters. The list goes on.
Religion has a time and place, but it's a personal one. Not one that our government should be influencing. Especially with public resources.

Nah, he hasn't. You just don't get what his objection is. "Christians are such hypocrites" isn't much different than "White people suck."

The worst thing about that video is it makes Bill Nye seem reasonable.

There are already a Hampton inn, super 8, holiday in express, Cracker Barrel and 2 gas stations being built right next to it and that's just to start

There's already a Hampton in Dry Ridge that's 6 miles away and a Holiday Inn Express 20 miles away. I don't know about Super 8 but I doubt anyone will commit to projects until they see if this thing flies.
It is a seasonal enterprise, after all, and it sits in a social desert. Nothing much around it but cows and farms. It's outside the Bluegrass region and its famous horse farms.

For as wrong as you are, at least you're honest about your hate for Christians and your loathing for this amazing project simply because it has to do with Christianity. Thank you for not trying to hide behind a veil of politics to shroud your hate of God.
Everyone against this project (especially in the area of its building) should be ashamed of themselves. This is an incredible, massive undertaking that's been done to help show the disillusioned and the enlightened an example of the power, love, and mercy of God Almighty for his errant creation. This whole COUNTRY is an example of that, as well. And the USA and Jesus Christ will always go together no matter what any atheist, humanist, Muslim, or animist tries to convince themselves of. God is woven all up in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and every scrap of governance this country has been built upon - no matter what your sorry, conceited, self-serving, God-hating, liberal professor(s) have attempted to warp your mind with.
...and before anyone starts spouting off about how stupid and uneducated I am for being a Christian, I have a degree in Fine Arts from a liberal, state-funded university. It blows my mind how un-American our own professors are nowadays. And you kids are swallowing their BS hook, line, and sinker....

This is where I strongly disagree with you. The Founders deliberately left religion out of the government because they knew that only a secular government could guarantee the human rights for all citizens.
Religion and government are both forms of social rule. Religion by its nature is totalitarian. Government ranges from democratic to absolute totalitarianism.
Government in America is still evolving after 240 years. The test of time has made it more secular than ever before.
There are groups enjoying "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" in the 21st century that I never thought would enter the mainstream of society. That shows the power of our Constitution.

In his literal interpretations of the Book of Genesis, it's interesting that the dinosaurs in his Creation museum are adorned with saddles.

So you're saying any Christian-based project, even if it's created by essentially false prophets for financial gain, is above reproach?
If anything, we should be speaking out against these projects because they're pretty clearly manipulating Christians for financial gain.

The ONLY thing I subscribe 100% to in all of this is what is in the Bible. The basic foundation Ken's perspectives on things is founded with a basic truth and fact in the Bible as well as math, science, culture, and sound ideology. He theorizes on some details to flesh ideas out using math and scientific facts. He will be the first to tell you that apart than what is directly in the Bible, his (and others) ideas are just that. They make the most sense to have been that way based off the foundational facts in the Bible. And, honestly, those ideas are very logical and make a whole lot of common sense if you take time to read the Bible and then listen to what he has to say. The creations in Genesis project and affiliated ventures are very educational, and it's still a free country, no matter what the SJW's, atheists, feminists, and the like try to say. We Christians have a right and obligation to speak about what we believe. Lord knows everybody else does. Get off his back, and if you CHOOSE to unplug your ears you may be surprised what truth you learn.

They probably never dreamed that the same country which was founded to allow them to practice free worship to God and allow them to live their lives and govern themselves in a way to bring honor and glory to God without domestically costing them their lives, the lives of their children, their freedom, and their morality would be perverted and twisted by moral vagabonds to read and inject something into the law of the land that is not there. The last people who should be persecuted in this country based off of the foundation it was laid on is us Christians. Yet, here we are. The only group left in America that is socially acceptable to detest, mock, scorn, laugh at, and ridicule is the very people who's ideals and convictions founded this great REPUBLIC. There is a saying that you don't bite the hand that feeds ya. Well, God has been feeding this country with his blessings since it was founded.

Funny, since many of them were Deists and some were even Atheists.

Christians make up over 70% of the country. You're not being persecuted unless you consider self-persecution to be the same as others persecuting you. You people and your persecution complex/martyr complex...

If you think that 70% of the people in this country are true Christians, then you aren't paying attention. Add up actual church attendance of all churches in your town on Sunday and tell me if 70% of the people in town are there.
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to judge anyone or say if you don't go to church on Sunday you aren't saved. But it is a good indicator of who are just saying they're Christians vs. actual practicing Christians.
