God must be really pissed at us.
Or maybe its because Ham and Perkins weren't praying enough. Ya see, they are supposed to be enlightened to the word of God. So instead of making money off a stupid ark and grifting, they should'a been praying their asses off.
--- can't wait to see what God has in store for Franklin. Now there's a real asshole.
