Opinion 'Hobby Lobby will return 3,800 illegally obtained ancient Near Eastern artifacts to Iraq, US ICE announced almost a year after the DOJ filed a civil action to force the store chain to return the artifacts headed to the Museum of the Bible' Not inspiring

Opinion oh for crying out loud: the board of directors has to sign some kind of bs 'faith statement'. requiring the board to all hold the same religious beliefs IS POLITICAL.

joshscampbell Opinion Opinions of “partisan respite” vary by Opinion writers

Opinion But not a respite from the land of make believe apparently.

Opinion You wanna talk about what the father did wrong in your next post about the kid instead of politicizing her death for looser borders

Opinion I’ld rather go to the Museum of Comicbooks. Just as much truth and inspiration but without all the hype and fear mongering.

Opinion Pretty sure the Bible is about as partisan as you can get but whatever lol

Opinion For those who need to learn how deceitful, perverse & atrociously violent humanity can be (?). Kinda like why there's a Holocaust Museum but, less truthful or sincere ;-)lol

Opinion Nice article, CNN. Going with my church next month to see this wonderful museum. Can't wait! Thanks for putting this out there!

Opinion 'THIS VIOLATES SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!' ...is what CNN might have said before the Trump era.

Opinion I'd say that the unscientific extreme evangelicalism you'll find at the Bible museum is as partisan as anything else in DC. If you want an actual break from politics, why not go to the zoo, the arboretum, Kenilworth aquatic gardens, or many other lovely spots?

Opinion Revealing read about how the artifacts came into the U.S.

Opinion That’s almost as bad as the creationism musuem. Almost.

Opinion . It's called The Museum of Fiction. .

Opinion I wonder also about how they feel about Jesus making God's name Jehovah known to the people. Jesus loved God's name Jehovah so much he said; 'You must pray this way, our Father in the heaven, Sanctify your name.' Most Christians don't even have a clue what that means.

Opinion Lol. Not. It's because of the bible republicans are trying to ban abortion, take rights from minorities. Also cuz the bible people think immigrants are disease filled rats. The bible is why we have such division in politics.

Opinion Really Museum of the Bible? I think that’s called a church. Museum - a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited. I don’t see Religious on that list.

Opinion I think it's fantastic! The fact a small group of white people in the Middle East founded a religion is an amazing feat worth celebrating.

Opinion Museum of lies.

Opinion Do hypocritical Christian Evangelists self-combust when the walk into the building? (I’m referring to the I-Luv-Jesus-But-Hate-Refugees-The Poor-The Sick crowd.)

Opinion Pass

Opinion Isn’t the Vatican enough reverence ?

Opinion This is satire, right?

Opinion And you don't have to be sniffed by a bomb dog like the Museum of Islam.

Opinion Completely inappropriate in DC. Why is CNN promoting this abomination?

Opinion Equally batshit crazy, though.

Opinion I wonder how this museum feels about Exodus 6:3 ?

Opinion Is this right next to the museum of Harry Potter which is a more relevant & relatable novel.

Opinion Museum of the Bible?

Opinion 🤣

Opinion Nothing like a fairy tale to take the edge off reality. They still got those “real” Dead Sea scrolls up there?

Opinion the museum of the bible is an Americans version of what Christianity is.

Opinion Hissssssss

Slave Bible From The 1800s Omitted Key Passages That Could Incite RebellionWhat's notable about this Bible is not just its rarity, but its contents, or rather the lack of certain contents — It excludes any portion of text that might inspire liberation or revolt. And people crab when biblical scholars claim authorial tendentiousness in the original biblical books. How convenient... Religion is the biggest bullshit of them all... YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THE BIBLE WAS SELECTIVELY USED TO PROMOTE THINGS WHICH THE PEOPLE IN POWER WANTED PROMOTED, KINDA LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
