"We encouraged them to put on the back of the coupon their address, their church name, their meeting times, the times of the services, things like that," Chapo said.

But not Bible verses. The Bible verses conflicted with a statement on human diversity that the zoo board of directors adopted earlier this year, Chapo said.

"Lincoln is a very diverse city," he said. "We like to celebrate that diversity. There are diverse cultures here in Lincoln, and we don't want to have anything that would make certain cultures uncomfortable. Our goal is to make everybody welcome."

Noah’s Ark at a Halloween festival?

What’s scary about that?

But seriously, I’m impressed the “First Evangelical Redemption Covenant, et. al.” is not out there screaming at people, threatening them with hell-fire for celebrating Halloween.

A new zoo diversity policy forbade Bible verses on the booth's pizza coupons, and the restaurant owner and church leaders did not want to go along with that ruling.

It can't be diverse unless Christianity is excluded. Some animals are more equal than others.

I always think it’s funny how many people are left out/not welcome under the guise of “diversity”...

***He said past attendees had made comments to zoo officials about the verses. Asked if those were complaints, Chapo repeated, “We’ve heard comments.”***

Christian's New Testament: Joh 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Jew's Torah (Old Testament): Deu 4:40 "So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time."
