Bible Park Construction Halted

http://christianpost.com/Entertainment/General/2009/03/developers-suspend-bible-park-usa-12/index.html

Yes, there were plans for the construction of what is called a Bible Park in Tennessee. And yet, opponents have managed to halt the project altogether by causing political infighting to halt the process.

Despite thousands of jobs that could be created and an estimated 5.3 million in tax revenues that would be brought into the county, there is still turmoil over this project. And yet, this is not the first attempt at this same Bible Park being built.

The original site for building this park was Rutherford County, yet Rutherford refused to allow the Bible Park to build. It appears, above all else, that the Bible is out of favor in the public's eye. For, if thousands of jobs and millions of dollars could be gained in a down-turned economic environment and there is still strong opposition, it is perhaps safe to assume, that people would prefer to not provide jobs for their community rather than to allow a project like this to be built.

Should we not then consider why there is so much controversy over this building?

Is it because the Bible is out of favor? Is it because we should strive to be PC? Let us know what you think!
