Attack of the Theocrats!
I don't know. Maybe it would be a good thing if there were an ACCURATE biblical theme park -- complete with fathers preparing to sacrifice their kids, slaughter of the Canaanites every afternoon at 2:00, stoning disobedient children on the Temple steps every hour on the hour (there are lots of disobedient children), followed by burning a sacrificial goat at dusk (because it makes a pleasing odor, of course).
They could have Jonah's Vomiting Fish Lagoon, Sodom and Gomorrah Camel Ride (complete with authentic fire and brimstone), and of course Garden of the Talking Snakes. And I'm sure Leviticus Land would be a HUGE draw -- "This exhibit shows what happens when you wear a fabric of blended threads." "And over here is what happens to people who labor on the Sabbath (sorry, no one under 18 can be admitted - oh, what the hell - they need to see it too)." And let's not forget to sing along with that catchy new tune It's An Abomination After All ... It's An Abomination After All... C'mon, everyone sing!
