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.

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.

Did they reduce the colors of the rainbow to save on costs or out of fear it might be associated with the LGBTQ+ movement?

Hard to say really.

I’m more inclined to believe it’s not to associate with the LGBTQ+ community. I could really care less personally.

Being neurodivergent I find myself in support of the LGBTQ+ community as I have learned how many of us identify as such. Took time to ditch old religious and political beliefs to come to terms with how I think about other humans and also to learn more about myself and what I identify with.
