So I Went To The Holy Land Experience Yesterday...

...And all I can say is wow. They pretty much advertise the place as being the destination to go to for a full fledged reenactment of Jerusalem during the days of Christ. I went in expecting to run into centurions berating visitors, maybe a few animals, and whatnot. And what I got was a big commercialized pile of dung. A restaraunt selling their special combo dinner aptly called "Paul's Platter"?

Sure the Passion presentation was well put together (though watered down), but the moment I saw a vendor selling hotdogs and Doritos next to Jesus' tomb, I was pretty much done.

And then, the price? $35 for an adult. $35! For $35, the real Jesus better come down and shake my hand personally.

Or at least have a chariot themed roller coaster or something.

I want to go just so I can walk through the gates and feign a seizure while shouting "FORGIVE ME, FATHER!!! FORGIVE ME!!!!!" and then going unconscious.

Might not be worth $35, though, especially if there isn't anyone with a camcorder nearby.

 

[X-Chick]

I can't understand why anyone would buy into that crap.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

There's a Christian theme park, can't remember where, where they have Universal Studios-style "shows" of great moments from the Bible.

They were doing one where Jesus was healing the sick and a ******ed kid in a wheel chair cried out begging Jesus to heal him. not kidding. Read the interview with the actor about how bad he felt, the ****** watched him heal everyone else and then got denied.
LOL

That's not funny.

That's not funny.

The funny part is that the morons thought a re-enactment of Jesus's healing orgies would be a good idea in this world so full of mentally deficient people.
...putting this poor actor and the guest's family in the position of having to try to explain to this challenged, ******ed person the difference between pretend and reality, and having to explain why, in the wheelchair bound person's reality, everybody else gets the "gift of walking" but not him.

And, when we saw it in the paper, everyone of my friends laughed at what a preposterous situation it was and how misguided the notion of a Christian THEME PARK is, so....maybe you just have a lame, simple, pedestrian sense of humor. *shrug*
