Link of the Day: The Holy Land Experience

[anotheranon]

From my sister, who seems to have an odd talent for finding stuff like this: Jesus jumping Christ on a pogo stick, this is tacky!

In Orlando Florida, of course, and don't forget to check out the menu items, so cleverly named but looking like something off of the Applebee's kids menu....

I'm not even Christian and I find this offensive. Just so cheap and shallow, how can this place possibly show anything good or pure or heartfelt about anyone's faith?

Man, it's just depressing.

All it needs is a Buddy Christ logo to complete the image. It's 'Medieval Times' for the churchy set! WOnder how long it took them to dream up the names on the menu? Jaffa hotdogs? Is that biblical,'cause I'm flashing on 'Stargate: SG1' here (Jaffa Kree! Relish, kree!)

I usually think unintentional humor is best, but jeeze! What brand of crack were these people smoking?

Answer is simple. Nicked from patgreene: The folks who built this thing weren't Christians, they were Leviticans (http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/archives/000662.html)!

I jest but this article makes some good points about the differences between moderate Christians (who most likely turn up their noses at the Holy Land Experience) and fundamentalists (who probably think that HLE is the coolest thing ever).
