Tête-a-Tête-Tête: If at first you don’t succeed….

December 27, 2005

Well, it looks like a Biblical theme park in Galilee is now in the works.

Didn't Jim and Tammy Bakker try one of these in Charlotte?

Wasn’t Jerry Falwell the last one down the waterslide there?

Shit like this reminds me of the words of Bob Dylan

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Made everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred.

The peerless Pat Robertson said that he is thrilled

"there will be a place in the Galilee where evangelical Christians from all over the world can come to celebrate the actual place where Jesus Christ lived and taught."

Yeah Pat. If only we could get more of those guys to celebrate and emulate how Jesus lived and what He taught.

The park area is on the northern end of the Sea of Galilee northeast of Capernaum,

Matthew 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

Ok... now I believe in fulfilled prophecy.. yuk, yuk, yuk ;-)

Seriously, though... I hope that the evangelical types enjoy their visits, and like you, I hope that more of them -and us- will focus on how he lived & what he taught. At least where it didn't mean calling down fire and brimstone on the men, women & children of cities he deemed too "unrepentant".
