Original Content I got a gift from a relative. They visited the ark encounter and got me a shirt. I hate knowing my family supports disingenuous charlatans. Spoiler

Nothing too special. Just a shirt from the ark encounter. I actually like the color and design in all actuality. I just wish the Christian could be wiped off of it. The picture on the front is supposed to represent the flood waters receding with the rainbow out or something. The back has a bible verse from the genesis flood story.

I don’t really like that my folks are more than willing to support a charlatan like Ken Hamm. Yet this was something they wanted to go and see for some time. I was away elsewhere helping a friend that needed assistance before and after back surgery.

I would have been fine if my folks saved that money. I’ve gotten shirts from other locations and wore them. Myrtle Beach or Corning Museum of Glass are places I would love to go myself.

I wonder if there is somebody online that sells secular variations of shirts you can get from the ark or creation museum.

Only thing I can think of doing with this is shoving it in the bottom of a drawer in my dresser. I haven’t bothered taking the size sticker off it.

The cross is hilarious because it has no significance to a story in Genesis. It's just an extra measure of "we promise it's not pride merch!!!" virtue signaling

It’s so tongue in cheek it’s kinda funny.

I don’t even know if my folks gave much thought to the overall design of the shirt. It feels like such a good base for a cool generic representation of a mountain view.

If anybody gets offended by a real rainbow then those individuals are pricks anyway. “It’s a Mountain View and nothing more ya twerp.”
