The Brick Testament

Ted loves Lego, as I think I’ve established, so last night we took some time on-line to have a look at something that had been tucked into the back of my mind. The guy who does this is quite possibly a genius, and quite definitely nuts. Teddy was amazed. And, believe it or not, this whole thing sparked some really good discussions.

We read through all of the segments on The Law, where we of course came across homosexuality. Thankfully, we were able to posit the laws regarding homosexuality against the law forbidding, say, a woman’s defending her husband by grabbing his attacker’s testicles. Ted saw the insanity of both rules; I am doing his father such a service, I tell you!

We talked about these “rules”, and about the fact that there is a lot of crazy stuff in the bible, but a lot of valuable stuff as well. You can’t argue, for example, against “Thou Shalt Not Kill.”

So, yeah. Better living through Lego. Who knew?

Lego people having any kind of sex is just wrong, wrong, WRONG. Although I do dig the plagues of Egypt parts.

Maybe stoning a kid for disobedience is harsh, but the thought of tossing pebbles at him is pretty appealing sometimes! :-)
