Oh my word, that would be heinous! Going to the Creation Museum on free-day as a huge atheist group (wearing shirts to that effect, so they know?) is an amazing idea, Rexbeccarox!!
Sadly, I am spoken for because both my family and my fiancee's family are Christians. I would have to leave my Beloved when she was 8 months pregnant (due mid-late January). Perhaps next year I can bring everyone to enjoy it; we don't always have our family Christmas celebrations on the week of the main holiday, due to having so many teachers and professors in the family who have odd holiday breaks into January.
And I'm not very far away, here in the corner-piece of Missouri where Tennessee and Kentucky meet. For now. I'll very likely be in Kansas City by then, a few hours farther west.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
