"Our organization spent many months attempting to reason with state officials so that this lawsuit would not be necessary," Answers in Genesis President Ken Ham said in a release. "However, the state was so insistent on treating our religious entity as a second-class citizen that we were simply left with no alternative but to proceed to court.
This is the latest example of increasing government hostility towards religion in America, and it's certainly among the most blatant."

(Rich true believers would be in the cabins. The poor true believers would actually be down with the animals.)
That way when the floods come again the unbelievers will be swept away and all of the righteous can repopulate the earth.
It will not matter to me because I will probably be raptured up with the good people right before the rain starts. But just in case, I have a cabin up high on a hill with food and other necessities. (No sense taking chances.)

To call these religious nuts a bunch of whiny babies is an insult to whiny babies.
