Opus 2021-257: Still Searching for the Lost Ark?

I always enjoyed the Indiana Jones movies.  I started with Raiders of the Lost Ark.  It was a lot of fun but recently as I was reading through I Samuel in the Bible I realized that he could have taken a short cut.

Check out I Samuel 5.  The Israelites had gone superstitious.  They were losing battles and felt like if they could take the Ark out with them they would win.  It didn’t work out that way.  The Philistines captured the Ark and took it with them as war booty.  That didn’t work out too well either.  Every pagan city that took the Ark suffered.  The local god got knocked over and when it were set back up lost head and hands.  The local residents were infested with tumors.  

So my suggestion for Indiana Jones would have been if he wanted to find the lost ark then all he needed to do is look at the most miserable place in the world.  It will probably be in some basement.  If you find it make sure you don’t open it.  Remember what happened in the movie.  I hear God has much better special effects that Hollywood.
