Sincerely, the U.S. government Well this is a story that is very unfair to Jesus! A while back, we learned that Hobby Lobby, the slut-pill-hating evangelical Christian company owned by the evangelical Christian Green family, was under federal investigation just for MAYBE illegally importing a bunch of looted religious artifacts from Iraq in 2010 and 2011, so they could put them in their Bible Museum For Bibles And The People Who Love Them, which is set to open soon in Washington DC. You see, when places like modern-day Iraq, a region that featured heavily during Bible Times, are ripped asunder by war, they are also looted of ancient artifacts and whatnot, and the plunderers help those fancy items find their way to the black market so nice families like the Greens can buy some Old Timey Iraqi Bible swag for themselves.
Damn! Me, too. But I thought I bought the whole thing. Your pieces must be fake. (Mine did say something about "IKEA" and "assembly required on it....)
Oh, yes, we are loyal users of the LAPL and enormous supporters of public libraries!! It was just the easiest way to post the info! It really was a good book. Hope you enjoy it!
Actually, there is association. Myths from the Sumerians and later cultures found their ways into some of the biblical stories. See the stories from the Gilgamesh legends, especially about Utnapishtim and the Great Flood as one example. Abraham (Abram) supposedly came from Mesopotamia. The "tower of Babel" was thought by some to be a ziggurat.
I'm only an interested amateur when it comes archaeology, but I still can't quite figure why they wanted all these cuneiform tablets, which haven't been properly documented and translated but are probably, like most of them, administrative inventories and maybe some correspondence, for a Bible museum. I mean, just because "Iraq? Israel? It's the same thing!" to Bible crackers like this?
Hi, Grammar Nazi, I'm Saxo the Grammarian. While I have deep admiration for good grammar, I am not a Nazi about it. That's because using ungrammatical English for humorous effect is a valid editorial choice. Example: there was a pint of ice cream in the freezer. Mrs. Grammarian wanted some, but sadly enough, I eated it.
So, which is more important? Excruciatingly correct grammar, or communicating affectively? (See what I did there?) Fish or cut bait, pink boy.
He's no Grammar Nazi. More like Romanian auxiliary troops crushed by Soviet T-34's on the Eastern Front or Italian tank crews burning in their substandard machines in the Libyan desert.

So weird how their sincerely held religious beliefs include "no gays" "no abortion" "no slut pills" and apparently not "no stealing".
I'm pretty sure only one of the above makes the Ten Commandments.

I have a PhD in Theoretical Scatology.
Hobby Lobby chose poorly.
Because God wrote the Bible on cuneiform tablets?
So glad you caughted that! The correct mispronounciation is "stoleded". That's with a "-eded" on accounta how it done past alreddy.

I feel the need to openly admit that I have slathered many many unslatherens in my time
Call Bullaeshit!
That's the one "people" I'm pro death penalty for.
