One nation under the Bible?

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Scott McLemee reviews a book that chronicles the founding and development of the new Museum of the Bible in Washington, in an article published at Inside Higher Ed......

Speaking of the Museum, McLemee says:

I have not visited it yet but expect to do so soon, and in the meantime, I have been reading Candida R. Moss and Joel S. Baden's Bible Nation: The United States of Hobby Lobby (Princeton University Press), a book about the museum that is unlikely to be featured in its gift shop.

An interesting and brief account of some of the controversies surrounding the new museum.

1. Fake Museum..........without a god there, it is fake

2. An interesting response.

Would you expect to find the Creator visiting a museum?

[Angry Dragon]

3. I see no reason why not

I thought this creator guy was every where??
Can't have a real museum without the main character

6. Perhaps you did not see the Creator.

Did you look in the gift shop?

A sale on indulgences. (RCC pre-Luther joke)

The museums haphazard and amateurishly assembled collection includes fake and stolen artifacts.

5. Backtracking from your earlier promotion of this museum?

That's good.

7. Earlier promotion?

An interesting claim on your part, , but no, I will not ask for any sort of proof of your claim.

8. I'll happily provide it anyway!

At NO POINT are you critical of the museum, its mission, or its founders.

In fact, you smear another DUer for not wanting to accept the right-wing vision of its founders:
