Interesting.<br /><br />When the museum is up and running, I need to drive down to Washington D.C. and check it out.

The president of Hobby Lobby probable never went to college and certainly hasn't 'wasted' time in museums and libraries--but he is directing this with a guy who was building a replica of Noah's Ark? Barnum and Bailey of Bibles. I heard they fund this with a write-off scheme with Jewish scrolls--using the Jewish heritage to proselytize the Jews and unconverted. That will go over big in the shadow of the Holocaust Museum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-79593892698536458082012-07-14T23:09:04.625-04:002012-07-14T23:09:04.625-04:00Infidel753 -- I worry that this will be the case t...Infidel753 -- I worry that this will be the case too. I hope we're wrong.

Most likely the only visitors who will find it of much interest will be people who already have the same outlook as the perpetrators. As long as it's privately funded, I don't really object much. Refuting any blatant lies it tells will create "teachable moment" opportunities for atheists, and doubtless it will end up losing money.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-36958857841043357572012-07-14T20:13:44.376-04:002012-07-14T20:13:44.376-04:00Buffy -- Heh ...
