"Don't be a dick to other people" is a moving target and isn't actually as helpful of a sentiment as many would think. Anyway, I'm not really interested in defending Ham, only in maybe shedding some light on what drives the theology of him and his readers/listeners. When you boil it all down, much of the confusion regarding Christianity has to do with the fact that it's a rather old (especially since we think we're worshiping the same God that the ancient Hebrew people did) Middle-eastern religion that is being shoehorned into a western mindset. It does NOT fit very well in many respects. For instance, people like Ken Ham try to treat the creation accounts in Genesis as if they were a history book. They are not.
