Hobby Lobby owners plan to open museum dedicated to the Bible in Washington D.C.. Oh goody, another museum dedicated to Christian mythology.

The evangelical Christian family that owns Hobby Lobby, the chain of craft stores, made history two weeks ago when the Supreme Court overturned the Obama administration’s mandate that family-owned companies must provide contraceptive coverage to their employees. 

Now, the family is looking to build a permanent presence on the Washington landscape, by establishing a sprawling museum dedicated to the Bible — just two blocks south of the National Mall. 

The development of a Bible museum has long been a dream of the Oklahoma-based Green family, which has built Hobby Lobby into a $3 billion company in which its religious beliefs infuse every aspect of the business, from the music played in its stores to being closed on Sundays.

But on the heels of the company’s legal victory, the project is raising concern in some quarters that the Greens’ museum could blur the line between educating and evangelizing. Steve Green, president of Hobby Lobby and the son of its founder, has referred to the Bible as “a reliable historical document,” and, as part of the museum project, he is developing a curriculum to “reintroduce this book to this nation.”

Just what we need, a powerful corporation dedicated to giving Creationsist Ken Ham a run for his money in dumbing down American schoolchildren.

You may remember that Steve Green, of the Hobby Lobby owning Green family, has also been working to introduce a Bible curriculum into public schools in Oklahoma. 

Apparently these people are determined to push their religious belief into every facet of our lives, and after their Supreme Court victory they may believe that there is nothing to stop them.

Of course if the millennials are any indication their days of spreading misinformation and lies may well be coming to an end in the very near future.
