Why aren't we hearing anything of that sort? It can't have possibly all come exclusively out of the state's funding and subsidies, right? Or out of Ham's own pocket, he's at least above the minimum level of IQ needed to avoid being labeled mentally handicapped to have the foresight not to put his own ill-gotten fortune at risk.The investors -are- calling for his head. The state tourism boards allows an organization to recoup up to 25% of it's costs from taxes to residents of affected counties and sales tax rebates from visitors. The counties in question are outliers..not just in the state in their religiosity, but nationally recognized as such. It's one of the densest packings of evangelicals anywhere in the US. The tax code was flexible, the residents were sympathetic, and there were millions laying on the table for the taking. That's why the park was built where it was. Mind you, the remainder of the money that was needed to build the park was not actual money...but credit. When the park defaults (as it will) AIG won't lose a single cent. Sure, they collected actual cash donations and actual cash from investors..but they didn't -spend- that to build the park. Why would they?
Yay, churches ftw!
Well, all I've heard on youtube are criticisms and that the park is failing, not that any of the investors are looking to sue for being defrauded or whatever.
So, wait, no one has any legal recourse whatsoever to hold AIG or Ham responsible or accountable financially? Literally not a single person involved in this in any way had the foresight to even ask what would happen if it failed or at least under-performed?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
