And God Remembered Noah

Meanwhile, in the Christian state of Kentucky, God appears to have slightly neglected the fiscal well-being of His faithful. A fundamentalist theme park, set up partly at the expense of the American taxpayer in order to celebrate what its founder believes to be a historical genocide, suffered property damage two years ago when the Lord absent-mindedly sent a little too much rain. We may safely assume that the punishment of sin was not what He had in mind, since the purveyors of the fifty-dollar Ark Encounter experience force all their employees to sign statements denying evolution, denouncing homosexuality and declaring regular attendance at communal grovels. Accordingly, the owners are now pursuing a lawsuit against their insurers for refusal to pay the full cost of repairing God's work and providing against the possibility of further chastisement.
