Over in the stinking hot desert, Israel has opened a site where apparently the lord jesus was dunked by fellow make believe person, John the baptist.
The site, on the banks of the Jordan (that’s Jordan River, we don’t normally say Jordan River) had to be cleared of land mines, rocks, pebbles and condoms. Â (I made the last one up). Â All at a cost of about $3 million dollars. Â Of course, the Jordanians think that the site is really on their side of the river.
So, one side of the river you have a bunch of jews who think that jesus was not the son of god claiming he was baptised there, on the other bank you have a bunch of muslims, who think that jesus was not the son of god claiming he was baptised there. Â Boy, are they confused.
The real reason it’s opened can be summed up by this comment from Minister for Regional Cooperation Silvan Shalom
it has a huge tourist potential, and the option of hosting hundreds of thousands of people who will come here and extend their stay in Israel.
Religious types are so easy to rip off.
