We mostly offer the link for consideration without comment. Well, without a lot of comment. Maybe just a couple:
- It's too much to hope that people could stop talking about Christianity and Judaism as separate and begin talking about them as the two surviving post-temple Jewish groups.
- We find ourselves discomfited by the notion of a theme park depicting the death of Jesus but less so with the well-established practice of churches doing so. It's a right-brain reaction, so we're not exactly sure why, except that churches are doing it outside the context of "fun" and provide the setting for establishment of relationships that can enable people to process the message and be integrated into the community of faith.
- We wonder what the present frontrunner for Most Embarrassing Christian,* John Hagee,** has to say about all this. And we hope we never have to find out.
OK, three comments, not counting footnotes.

*Current runner up: Rod Parsley.
**Moral on Hagee: run, do not walk, away from dispensationalism, which mishandles the Bible, distorts the gospel and continues to bring the faith into disrepute.
