"Hungry people, missionaries, new churches, charities, all should be higher on the list. This is embarassing," said one churchgoer.

Another added, "How can we afford to waste this money while the government is busy destroying our economy?"

"It's time to reign in these people and put the money to something God would be proud of."

As if this last person was a confidant of God and so knows what He would be proud of. I gather this has something to do with economics, in the same way as the first two quotes boil down to economics.

The ideology of "Social Justice,"a/k/a "Liberation Theology," is at the bottom of all three statements.

No wonder they deplore Noah's Ark Amusement Park — it is a capitalist enterprise which moreover showcases, not Liberation Theology, but its nemesis, biblically-based orthodox Christian theology.

Still, Noah's Ark Amusement Park — which I gather is a place chock-full of water slides — sounds like a really fun place to go on a hot summer's day.... Maybe they'll succeed in raking in the dough, some or all of the proceeds of which could be directed to genuine (i.e., uncoerced) charitable works.

Evidently some so-called Christians find Marx's social theories highly appealing. More so than the appeal of God Who revealed Himself in the Holy Bible.

JMHO FWIW

I thought feedinng people was orthodox Christian theology, but maybe I’m wrong. Boy you folks see leftist demons everywhere even where there are none.

I’m all for capitalism. Ironically, however, Noah’s ark preceded a flood that wiped out man’s excesses.

IF they can make money legally and ethically for God’s work, I see nothing wrong with that. If it is a commercial enterprise that is using God to draw people in and puts only a tiny portion for charity, then it is a terrible idea. There is a story of a rich man who sold his field and made everyone believe he was giving all the money to the poor when in reality he was keeping a good profit for himself. He and his wife were struck dead.

Indeed. There is a very large untapped market for Christian-themed entertainment.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
