A Sea Of Red

And at least Sly will be excited about the proposed location.

A nationally known arts-and-crafts store chain has been purchasing rare Bibles and other manuscripts to fill a proposed National Bible Museum.

Hobby Lobby recently announced it had been collecting a variety of materials, such as Hebrew scrolls, medieval manuscripts, and an assortment of Bibles and rare books, since partnering with a group that came up with the idea for the museum.

Steve Green, president of the Oklahoma-based company, says tentative plans call for a 300,000-square-foot facility to be located in a major metropolitan area that would provide an interactive history of the Bible...

Green adds that a search is on for a suitable location for the proposed museum. Though no final decision has been made, Dallas is currently a frontrunner.

As long as it is south of the Red River.


Seriously, I would've expected them to set it up at ORU since they run that joint now. That'd be great for SumItUp.

PS -My wife is addicted to Mardel.

I bet not having an interstate in Lynchburg hurt our chances.

Shouldn't a Bible museum be located in the "Bible Belt"?

Texas is the buckle of the Bible belt. There is actually a Biblical antiquities museum on the campus of Houston Baptist University.

Looks like they weren't doing their collecting in the proper way:

Nah man, it is fine. Nothing to see here...

What makes it potentially worse is the fact that Al Qaeda and ISIS have been the major antiquities dealers in that area for years. There's a strong possibility that they were literally funding terrorism, even though they obviously have plausible deniability.
