Ken Ham is the Founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis and the creator of the amazing Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky. He is also a leader in the conservative evangelical community, where his work focuses on Biblical creationism and Christian apologetics. He and his team recently made the decision to use the rainbow as part of the decoration in their Ark Encounter Christmas celebration.

Quote:Visit the Ark at dusk to see it illuminated with rainbow colors as a testament to the true meaning of the rainbow. After the Flood, God designated the rainbow as the sign of His covenant to never again destroy the whole earth with water.

The rainbow has long been a part of Christian history, tradition, and doctrine, but apparently some LGBT activists don’t appreciate the symbol they stole being stolen back from them. In a letter to the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, one lesbian activist opined about how shocked she was that these Christians were misappropriating a symbol of love.

Sounds like both parties have a bit too much time in their hands.

It is a rainbow...not a political symbol. Get a fcking life.

Didn't read the article, but pretty sure it showcases the ignorance of the young SJW types who do not know where the rainbow imagery originally came from and in contrast to the blowhard creationist who is more interested in earning big bucks than spreading the word.

People get offended too easily. And like to display their ignorance in public.

This.

Someone forgot that Religion is supposed to be peace and love like the hippies used it in the 1960s. But, there are some who used Religion to spew hate and prejudice at others. Those people who spew hate will be judge by god.

If God is love...he/she does not judge. just sayin.

Somebody needs to point out to the "lesbian activist" in Cincy that Christians aren't "misappropriating" the rainbow they are "reappropriating" symbolism that her cause misappropriated.

Sarcasm? or do you relly feel like Hippies had the right to redfine world religions?

Ignorance. As one of my older friends likes to say "Anybody who thinks hippies in the 1960's weren't incredibly violent in pursuit of their goals was never a hippie in the 1960's."

He ironically went on to become a well decorated law enforcement officer after he finally grew up.

I find this ironic. Some lesbian is up in arms over a decoration at a park designed around a myth. She's a dummy for not knowing how the flood myth included the rainbow as part of the story.

Well technically isn't the use of the rainbow by homosexuals an example of cultural appropriation?

Is this the place that has dinosaurs in the Ark? What's that about?

Not like anyone else was using it at the time. We could have used a pink triangle in a white or black background, I suppose. But Hitler made us wear those....so....I'm not really jazzed about it.

Ken Ham is a complete nutcase imho.

If he wants to use the rainbow, go for it.

You could have also used a slice of pizza.

Sure, but we used a rainbow. The guy who designed it wanted something recognizable that could be used to show diversity. It also plays into the 'unofficial Gay national anthem' which is, 'somewhere over the rainbow'.

So appropriation is OK, now?

I don't see appropriation. Rainbows really weren't a major symbol of anything. Just because some clown who thinks the Earth is 5000 years old says so, doesn't make it his.

Maybe in his native Australia, rainbows are an exclusive "Christian" symbol. But not here.

Did the Human Rights Campaign appropriate 'math' by using an "equals" sign as a symbol of their organization? No. Just good and effective branding. The rainbow flag is no different.
