As always, the brick testament does it better:

Lego still allows the user to exercise their own creativity. You might buy a Star Destroyer kit, but you can build other things with it.

Ain't that the truth. I rather liked this idea: http://www.thebricktestament.c...

The part about camp deification was amusing: http://www.thebricktestament.c...

I don't remember anything in Exodus about Moses or his people resorting to violence

Have a look at the book of numbers. Here are some of the best parts: http://www.thebricktestament.c...

Also, I'm not sure how you give credit to Constantine for founding Christianity

Here ya go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The guy who staged out the Bible in Legos would have had an easier time of it for sure:

http://thebricktestament.com

He clearly needed to hax0r a bunch of Legos to tell many of the stories...

http://www.thebricktestament.com//the_law/sexual_discharges/lv15_16a.html

Yes. And here's some of the parts that are probably among the "racy" ones: http://www.thebricktestament.com//the_law/rape/dt22_23a.html etc...

The article notes that these are books challenged and requested removal in public or school libraries. So I think you're going to see a bias towards books for teenagers which adults feel are inappropriate for their dear children: more emphasis on requests for censorship because of rude words, sex scenes and unconventional ideas than because of religious thought.

I can see conservative parents getting upset about a whole range of exciting contemporary teenage literature while I would imagine only the most radically conservative are going to get upset about school libraries stock religious works, they'll more likely accept the concept of teaching comparative religion.

My guess is all the world's religious works have some pretty horrific sections, you might be upset about the Qur'an but everybody here at slashdot loves the way the Lego Bible picks out the extreme sections of the Christian holy books... I'd guess the Christians can give the Muslims a good run for their money in terms of tough edicts on people who don't follow the holy words... (stonings, killings, etc). Within a school or library context I don't think people blink when they see a shelf with the different world religions holy books next to each other (probably they yawn).

The point isn't one specific number, it's being marked at all.

According to that mythology, you get a choice to receive a mark or not, either on your hand or forehead. If you don't have the mark, people are not allowed to do business with you - you cannot buy food, etc.

The big problem though, is this; before this all happens, 144k jews will be saved (the 'rapture'), and everyone else is pretty much doomed to hell. The choice of having the mark or not doesn't come until later. So, basically if you ever reach the point where you are offered a mark or not, it is already too late for you.

It's all laid out in a most reasonable fashion here; http://www.thebricktestament.com/revelation/

Actually that is not a teaching of the Christianity.

Sure it is - see Joshua. You know, the part of the Bible where the Israelites go around and slaughter all their neighbors at the direction of Yahweh, sparing no one.

I don't see a problem with it.

If you're thinking 'Gravity is a law!', it's an anachronism

Oh yeah? You wanna know what happens to people with their own interpretations?
Okay, you get your points back, but I get 10 points for using a reference to the bible (and lego!) as an "argument"

True, but still far from entertaining. This guy did a good job with that though: The Brick Testament. I particularly enjoy this one on why to keep 'the law'

lol, thanks for bringing that site to my attention. the Skeptic's Annotated Bible is a pretty good biblical reference, but the Brick Testament brings so much more to the scriptures than just skeptical analysis.

it truly breathes life into the stories of the bible (go to the next page).

1. Warner made a deal with YouTube to allow YT to show Warners videos.
2. Warner decides it doesn't like the deal anymore so they pull their videos, against the terms of the deal.
3. God kills a baby

I don't see how this is shocking to anyone.

The Bible's got incest, rape, mass-murder (and it advocates some mass-murders, too), and all sort of cruelties that were committed by both Jews and Christians--such as any other people in the history of humanity. How 'bout you read the old testament for a change?

With a premise like that, who'll be satisifed with just reading when you can look at the pictures?

I guess they could parse the Bible next to find the nice bits amongst all the scary messed up sections in that crazy book. Maybe point the research outcomes at the Christians to stop another crusade...

Found it!

The Brick Testament
I like how they try and promote there books as Sunday School friendly, yet their website is loaded with nudity and violence. Blasphemous and funny.

What's 'murder' then?

Didn't Moses murder a bunch of people? Example.

Shit, not again. Before we know it, girls start raping their fathers again.

The church made it a religious issue which is amazingly hypocritical considering their history and gospel.

Lego sex, Bible style!

I have no idea what the guy who made that site's credentials are, but it's still hilarious.

As much as I don't want ten replies with links to anatomical Lego designs

Well, let me be the first to link to the brick testament. (NSFW). Bible. Porn. Legos. What else do you need?

For those who want to see some even less SFW lego porn (I mean who wouldn't?), check out drew.corrupt.net.

What you say is true. Regardless, I suspect that of all faiths, there are those outliners who have been quick to say, "Convert or die should be the policy."

And I'm saying, that regardless your religion, that you should reject that, vocally, and refuse association with, anyone who says those things. You should say, "That is not acceptable, and I won't associate with you, because you think that way."

I promise to do the same with athiests. If an athiest says, "I think we'd be much better off without religion." And I would ask: "You don't mean killing religious people, do you?" And if they say, even in jest, "Well, it's an idea," then I will say: "That's completely unacceptable, and I will not associate with you, until you think for a while, and retract that statement."

I expect the same from religious people, considering the athiests, and considering people of other faiths.

This should be utterly clear, and I would not equivocate or jest about this, or make it a light matter.

Regardless of whether this was religiously acceptable in the past, it is not acceptable today, regardless Deuteronomy 19:19-20.

Funny, the bible itself disagrees with you. Feel free to confirm that with a non-Lego source, if you wish.

I was just discovering this by reading The Brick Testament, and going back to the actual text on Project Gutenberg. You just pointed me at Evil Bible, which is even better -- I was thinking I'd compile something like that myself.

Mostly just posting this to give evilbible an advantage with search engines (you didn't link to it), but this is interesting. Thanks.

Looks like an allowable animal must both chew the cud and have a cloven hoof. Pigs have a cloven hoof but don't chew the cud. So, force the pig to chew the cud and you're ok? Some parts of "the law" strike me more as a guide for surviving in the desert in ancient times rather than arbitrary rules to follow. For example, Basically, the Dietary Law is a prohibition against eating scavenger animals. The article goes on about how the more complex digestive system of grazing animals leads to less toxicity in the meat. Perhaps farm pigs fed a controlled diet should be considered "clean".

No, actually it says the following ("evil" is not used)

Correct, but it does say: "Whereas, domestic partner benefit policies pay employee benefits based on the employee engaging in unmarried, homosexual relations. These relations have been condemned by the major traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam for a thousand years or more." And those religions have clearly stated that homosexuality is Evil.

Oh yes?.

It's pretty clear about when to stone your kids to death (alternatively: the much less fun plain KJV version)

I think you need to read a bit more of your bible. I recommend The Brick Testament. Start with the book of Joshua and move on to Judges. We're not talking about defending your own society, or the semantic differences between "killing" and "murder," we're talking about invading foreign lands, and slaughtering every man, woman and child, complete genocide of entire cultures at God's command.

Some minor inconsistencies are also nicely pointed out in this nice rendition of the holy bible.

Ick!!! Not in Lego, please:

I think the neatest Lego thing I've ever seen are this guy's bible stories. He's sold 3 books of them.

The storytelling is great, and his sets are first class. It reminds me of a movie:

http://www.thebricktestament.com/

It isn't at all high-tech or technical. However, I'm guessing that digital cameras and the internet have allowed him to become very well known.

I guess with the robot version, you could make an animation involving robots, which would be cool.

The Brick Testament is the Bible enacted all out of Legos, and if religion isn't your thing there's always Lego Porn.
