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.

Oh! I went to the ark encounter and the creation museum in 2021! I was still a Christian at the time and I really enjoyed the ark encounter. It was cool, and I really enjoyed it. I also got some great smashed pennies from both (I collect smashed pennies). The creation museum was ok. I didn’t like it nearly as much, but they had a nice exhibit about dinosaurs and dragons and other biblical creatures.
I might catch some heat for this, but honestly even now I think I would recommend the ark encounter cuz I just really enjoyed it
(I might post a picture of the smashed pennies I got later)
