    The LEGO guide to stoning & other Biblical stories

    I just stumbled on an amusing site,

    http://www.thebricktestament.com

    in which Reverend Smith, an atheist, illustrates Bible stories using LEGO building blocks. Interesting because of the art form and subject matter.

    Amazingly, the artist receives many praises from believers despite featuring bizarre Biblical lessons and topics such as when to stone your children/wife/whole family, sexual discharges, camp defecation, and genital injury.

    The thing I can’t grasp, and hopefully someone can shed some light on, is how so many people can still take the Bible seriously? Modest self-delusion I can understand - but not when the absurdities are so dramatically illustrated and obvious. Ideas?

        I hate to nitpick, but the bible does not say what sex position they used. Maybe Adam and Eve used the missionary position, woman on top, or something else.
        'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

              That is because you are predisposed to hate the Bible. If you looked at the Bible with an open mind, you would understand it better.

                  and before I forget

                  I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                    But I did have an open mind. I grew up as a Christian and was a believer.

                    Then I started reading the many parts of the Bible that ministers and Sunday school teachers never seem to preach or teach. The very thing that made me realize that Christianity was absurd was the Bible itself.

                    And as Mark Twain said:

                    "It is not the things in the Bible I don't understand that bother me, it's the things in the Bible that I do understand that bother me."
