crucifixtion at 2:30, every 30 min! The Holy Land Experience!

what a vacation getaway! You can buy stuff at the gift store, get baptised, see jesus get whipped and nailed to a cross, even see the resurrection, and get discounts and group sales prices too!  And its next to Disneyworld !  The whole thing is creepy, esp the part of emphasizing judaism - the Temple, Jerusalem, the ten commandment (mitvahs) and the roman soldiers and centurians (I dont get the whole sword fight between the roman soldier and centurians, arent they on the same side?)  You can get your picture taken with jesus, or pose with a jesus riding a Harley cycle.  Can i get his autograph?  "To mark, best wishes, JC"  There are similar places like this, in the Ozarks for example, but not on this scale.  Where do all the profits go? To Pat Robertson's diamond mines in Cote d'Ivorie?  You know Pat Robertson tried investing in blood diamonds a couple decades ago.......he had child militia's working for him....funded with??? contributions? Profits from bizarre theme parks like this one?
