The museum created by the American Bible Society in July 2021 said it would be open to visitors until March 28. The Christian ministry nonprofit that translates Bibles and sends them around the world has recently been besieged with challenges including layoffs, funding troubles, and five CEO changes within two years.

    They shouldn’t allow hate museums about hate books that teach people it’s OK to hate, because of religion.

    What a waste of time, effort, and money. That’s what religion is. Just a waste.

      The problem isn’t that someone can start a museum about something stupid. It’s a private endeavor and they can do what they want. The problem is that, as a religious organization, we’re essentially helping fund them through tax exemption.

      But what about the Holocaust Museum? And that Hitler book? Should we ban them too?
