Holy Land going out of business?

Better organize your field trip quickly if you don't want to miss it (the Ark in Kentucky apparently can wait)...
Florida’s “Holy Land Experience” Theme Park Will Fire Nearly All Employees
The Holy Land Experience, a Christian theme park in Orlando modeled after Jerusalem, appears to be going out of business.

The theme park plans to lay off nearly all of its employees — pretty much everyone involved in the stage shows — by April 18. It’s part of a plan to move “away from entertainment,” which makes you wonder what, exactly, that leaves for visitors.

In total, according to the Federal Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification document sent to the city of Orlando, 118 jobs will be eliminated.

The restructuring comes as a result of a “corporate wide ministry reorganization.”

That means they’re even firing Jesus. (Atheists didn’t even have to lift a finger!)

What’s left behind (ha) is a museum and other “education attractions” that show visitors biblical artifacts, a model of ancient Jerusalem, and all those other things kids just can’t wait to see... (continues)
