Will Mel Gibson cut the ribbon? American Evangelicals are to unveil plans for a $60-million theme park in the Holy Land. But proselytizing of local Jews will be against park rules. (Local Muslims are not mentioned, so they may be fair game.)
The developers say they plan to check kitsch and commercialism at the door. “No way will it be a Disneyland. We have to keep the spirit of the place. You can see the movie about Jesus’ life, then see the mountain.”
The reference is to the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus gave his Sermon on the Mount. We point this out for the biblically challenged. They might want to book tickets in advance.
