Ben said he was considering moving forward with Bible Adventures on his own, but Deep Root nonsense had him reconsider.

It's a real shame if we lose Ben Heck from the pinball world. Would a kickstarter for Bible Adventures interest you?

This thread is gold, we need it...

It's good fun if nothing else...

Regardless of this thread's poll results, I'd say we're nearly all Ben Heck fans.

Keep the faith! There seem to be plenty of one or the other out there: JPop keeps getting another chance!

I won't pretend to speak for Ben, but my understanding is it neither promotes or bashes. It just recognizes that it's content that many if not everyone recognizes and can make an entertaining theme.

That's just nerd speak, he's trying to convey it has mass appeal!

Give him a break, it's the speech his usual audience understands!

Nice try, we're not going down that path...

Yes, I selected the answers based on the assumption that the biggest problem would be getting it built, since Ben was separating from Spooky. But I was surprised and pleased to hear that Ben brushed that aside as not being an issue.

I was also wondering about the theme's appeal too. But you choose any theme, more often than not, over half the pinsiders are not interested in the theme. The only thing different with this one, is the theme is more polarizing so people are more passionate to say no. On the flip side, there are also some, like me, that have no interest in many of the existing themes like rock-based ones. I'm concluding the theme would not be the problem. Build it and they will come.

Finally, it seemed like Ben was burned out on Pinball, but glad to see he's chimed in here, and still has the passion for both pinball and his theme. There's still hope! I'm a true believer!

I like you pointing out the correct response. But I think someone might have that reaction because there definitely seems to be a double standard at play. A lot of people feel the need to chime in about their personal beliefs in opposition of this theme, but I'm betting it's not as acceptable if a believer went on the same way.

I'm also a scientist, and appreciate those same principles, but they've led me to a different conclusion. With overwhelming evidence of God's work in my life, I would have to be in complete denial to consider God might not exist.
