He did not tell him to feed the hungry, help the poor, shelter the homeless or protect the meek.
Gawd told this guy to build a stupid ark...

To Richard Greene, the man who has made it his mission in life to complete the Ark, its purpose is clear. Someday, these red girders will be part of the framework for a Biblical-scale replica of the boat which Noah is said to have constructed in order to escape the cataclysmic floods unleashed by God. It is a sign of the End of Days, the second coming of Christ, a warning for sinners to repent before it's too late.
The Ark is not functional; it will not float, and Pastor Greene will not be taking it to the sea. He is waiting for the sea to come to him.
Pastor Greene, who is 69 years old, says God instructed him in a series of disturbing night visions to build the Ark, and he has pursued the task with single-minded zeal. Those that mock the enterprise only fuel Pastor Greene's fervor.
"They laughed and mocked at Noah, but the flood still came," he said.
