more examples of great morals from RW Fundy repukes ..Kansas Theme Park to close after 2 months

http://www.wichitaeagle.com/news/updates/story/117812.html


It's not people's _faith_ that's questioned or criticized. It's how Terry Fox politicized his congregation, how he was driven from his former church (Immanuel Baptist) after misdirecting tens of thousands of Immanuel's money, and then showed up with Immanuel's biggest donors to form his "new" church. Who were those big donors? Why, the Etheredges, of course.

If Tom and Cheryl Etheredge chose to let someone with Fox's reputation, history, and radical political agenda be the centerpiece of their theme park, that's their choice. But don't bitch because some of us (many of us!) refuse to go there.







they owe millions of dollars...

but the Summit Church will stay on...

Google Rev. Terry Fox. one of the worst


some comments from the locals...

Seems like the Christian ideals that Tom E claimed he would operate his business according to don't include paying your bills and refunding the cash you stole from the season pass holders. He must have that special version of the bible with 11 Commandments.

#11 Thou shalt not steal, unless it is permissible under federal and state bankruptcy law. In that case, thou shall take full advantage of those laws and stiff your customers and creditors for the maximum amount, less 10%, for that portion of the ill gotten gains is due the lord.

If private gambling was legal, I'd wager $5 that the $400,000 Wild West World owes Summit Church is "laundered" money.

- Etheredge needs a tax deduction
- Etheredge needs money for WWW
- Etheredge donates $400k to Summit Church
- Summit Church "invests" $400k in WWW.

8. Went there before it opened
Edited on Tue Jul-10-07 12:43 PM by Cheap_Trick
Went with the wife to a craft show there shortly before it opened. As soon as I saw all the "Christian" propaganda, I knew that I wasn't going to go back as a paying customer.

They were blaming all the rainy days as the reason for poor attendance. God makes it rain. hmmm...I guess God wanted the park to fail.:sarcasm:
