Coss Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Lawyers for Noah's Ark theme park are suing its insurance company for rain damage It is one of the world's classic stories. A gigantic ark gets built with the help of a higher power, a symbolic refuge from the depravity of humankind. It is a huge, grandiose structure constructed out of wood that is perhaps larger than anything comparable in the world. Then heavy rains begin to fall, inundating the earth around it. And that's when the lawyers are called. Genesis, this is not. Not in 2019, not in the United States. Ark Encounter, the multimillion-dollar theme park and monument to fundamentalist Christianity whose centerpiece is a giant replica of Noah's Ark, is suing its insurance carriers over rain-related damages on the property. The company, Crosswater Canyon, is seeking to recoup what it says were $1.5 million worth of damages, as well as attorneys fees and costs, and an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The irony has not been lost on local media organizations and observers on social media. Even the American Atheists took a shot on Twitter. This particular chapter begins in 2017, when rains came to northern Kentucky. They did not fall for 40 days and 40 nights this time... https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=12234371 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Stories or Fairy Tales, Hans Christian Anderson or the Brothers Grimm would have been proud of that one, is it any wonder that once I got the first couple of books in the Encyclopedia Brittanica Series that th Bible as condemned to the scrap heap with all my other Children’s Books.
