Perhaps there is a God after all....

A TV Evangalist in the US has now had his tourism venture in Israel blocked by the Israeli government...Mr Pat Robertson said that Mr Sharon's stroke was "divine retribution" for leaving the Gaza Strip....

The Israeli government has decided to block Mr Robertson's theme park plans as a result of his insensitive comments...

When I read the details of the theme park I realised that perhaps there is a God and a God who is trying to protect the Holy Land...The Sea of Galilee is beautiful, the surrounding countryside is spectacular and there is an overriding sense of peace all around the area...it does not need anything as crass as a theme park...biblical or otherwise...

Earlier this week, the ministry's spokesman Ido Hartuv said Israel would no longer be signing a contract with Mr Robertson to build a biblical theme park by the Sea of Galilee.

The centre was expected to cover nearly 35 acres (14 hectares) north-east of the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus is believed to have delivered the Sermon on the Mount.

It would have had a park, an auditorium, a Holy Land exhibition, outdoor amphitheatres, information centre and a media studio.
