Sorry, Mr. Ham.

It’s a legitimate criticism. You failed.

No it isn’t. Aren’t you the one who says cussing isn’t a sin?

OK, give us a valid reason to build it.

The money was raised specifically for the Ark. The money was raised from people who believed in this project, or hoped this project would bring revenue to their area. People weren’t just going to throw 73 million into a hat to “feed poor people”. So, it’s a false alternative that is being presented, not a legitimate criticism.

>>Sorry, Mr. Ham.

The people donating the money aren't expecting it to feed the poor. I believe Judas once reprimanded Jesus for allowing Mary to pour expensive perfume on his feet instead of selling it to feed the poor. Jesus told him the poor would always be among you. Judas wasn't really concerned about poor people and neither are these ark critics.

Wrong. We will always have the poor. You won’t always have an opportunity to spread the gospel.

Why is it legal criticism is everything you do done to help the poor?..why build even a church building rather then use the money to feed the poor..how much money does every church in this country, in the world have tied up in land and property and assets that they could liquidate to help the poor ....what a load of crap

I don't think it is really. AiG was not established as a charity to feed the hungry. They don't state that as one of their goals. They're no more due criticism for not devoting their money to ending hunger than any other corporation is.

Besides, if they did that then they wouldn't build their ark. I'm looking forward to it. Should be funny.

As long as the money was raised for this purpose, the criticism is based in self-righteousness, and is wholly illegitimate. If the money was raised for helping the needy, then the criticism is legitimate - but ONLY then.
