A friend sent me this website. It's interesting to say the least. While I wouldn't use it for study or anything other than entertainment purposes, the work with the legos is pretty cool. And I was surprised the guy actually uses Yahweh. http://www.thebricktestament.com/ |

This is my favorite picture: (See Genesis 34:25) |

Not sure I agree with some of his interpretation... Matthew 5:17-23 |

Yeah, I don't agree with a lot of it. It is obvious this is a guy who has issues with religion, and with God. But the Lego work is cool. I just view it as a Christian interpretation and laugh. |

I would say he definitely takes a different slant, being an atheist. LINK |
“Because he clings to Me, is joined to Me, loves and delights in Me, desires Me, therefore I will deliver him, carry him safely away, cause him to escape from harm making him inaccessible and strong, and delivering him safely to heaven, because he has known, observed, cared for, recognized, instructed and advised others to use, designated, acknowledged, discerned, answered in, My name, authority, character, report, mark, and nature."

This is from am interview with the creator of The Brick Testament; Brendan Powell Smith He compares Yahweh to Darth Vader. Did anyone else notice that the Lego character of Yahweh always looks mad? This is probably why: Who's your favourite character, and why? Go on, we know you have one. It may seem cliche, but I have to say my favorite Bible character is Yahweh himself. I don't think I would have been nearly as inspired to create this project if it weren't for the continuous outrageous and depraved actions of the Bible's main character. Power-mad, belligerent, masochistic, petty, woefully insecure, extremely dangerous and unpredictable (and seemingly not too bright) Yahweh exhibits all the worst attributes of man. As such I can only really consider him a "favorite" character in the way a Star Wars fan might consider Darth Vader to be their favorite character. But if you were to stop and imagine if Darth or Yahweh were real and not just fictional, you might be more hesitant to think of them as "cool" for things like blowing up a planet of innocent civilians, or ordering genocides and torturing people to death.
