I personally don't think abortions should be paid for with taxpayer money, for example. I obviously wouldn't mind this ark thing being paid for by taxpayers, but given what I just said, I can understand those that think otherwise. So, the answer, IMO, simply is should taxpayer money go towards anything that taxpayers may not like? If the answer is no, then that means that ALL those "controversial" things then, not just religious. So no tax breaks/incentives/what have you to this ark, to abortion doctors/clinics/etc, to mosques/synagogues/churchs, to birth control, etc. I'd, personally, rather be all inclusive and let the whiney babies (be they religious or otherwise) cry in their bottles. So if that means tax-funded abortions, so be it (as long as abortion is legal, that is). However, that's just me. I know that I don't always represent the majority Christian mindset (unfortunately).

Secondly I think anything that designed to help the less fortunate like a clinic should be helped. Privately owned things like stadiums and arks should not get tax breaks.

Noah's grandchildren children were incesteous. So why can't the workers just be required to follow those standards?

Noah got so drunk on wine that he passed out naked. Ham saw him naked so Noah cursed not just Ham, but all of his decendents forever, to be slaves.
