When do we get the museum of the koran ?

I see this one being about as successful as that stupid Ark theme park in Kentucky. It will get business for about the first 6 months then die.

Can't help but wonder what kind of a tax shelter it might be. I would bet that even if it hemorrhaged money, the Hobby Lobby asshats that opened it would still come away with a tidy profit.

LOL!! i drove past that Ark Encounter today.

I have no business spending time with these nutjobs in the hinterlands. They ain't ma peeps!!!!!

What's the admission fee?

Apparently, the admission is free.

Personally, I'd have preferred that the Washington Design Center remain in the building. The Museum of the Bible will now have the advantage of being a building that sits on top of an existing Metro station (Federal Center Southwest).

Loss of brain function.

Oh great. Now I can't get Ned Flanders out of my head.

"But the 20-member leadership of the museum is almost entirely white, male, and evangelical."

Of course it is.

Yeah, Summer, who else would do such a stupid thing? Bet they left out the good parts, all the incest, violence, homophobia, woman-hating etc etc. My favorite is the prophet who killed a bunch of kids for making fun of his bald head. An illustrated "Song of Solomon" is something I would go see, though.

That's Elisha (2 kings 2:23-25).

23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

Funniest scripture ever.

Reading that, I always wondered if there were 42 children to start with, or if the bears tore up a few kids to make "forty and two children of them."

I guess we'll find out in the celestial kingdom :)

Checked a couple versions:

ESV (English Standard Version) has 'boys'.

NKJV (New King James Version) has 'youths'.

And somewhere I read a commentary or note on those verses saying that they were NOT "little children" but boys in their late teens.
