Scott Walker: "Imagine if Noah had needed help from the government to build the ark...."

Scott Walker on Twitter: "Imagine if Noah had needed help from the government to build the ark. It might have never been built."

Source: https://twitter.com/ScottKWalker/status/225784662612647936


Josh Rosenau: "...imagine that Noah had to build his ark in a capitalist market economy, and had to be able to turn a profit on the deal simply in order to start construction. He might have to charge admission, treat it like a zoo or a theme park or something."

Note that Josh is making fun of Answers In Genesis which is having trouble building its Ark Park for lack of successful fundraising.

it figures a fantasy land ayn rand disciple would pick a mythological Bible story to
draw lessons from for the masses. what a load.

was wanker _there_ to observe just how the ark was constructed??

this is still more GOP/reagan cowboy baloney, re: "everyone does everything
by themselves and thus can take ALL the credit, and more importantly, the profit.

yes, wouldn't things be soooo much more simpler if we could just go, "me, well, God told me to do
this". say that often enough and you'll be locked up.
