You should put together a Brickshelf gallery with alternate shots. I'd often
love to see wider shots or shots from alternate angles (even if it's a facade
and other angles don't look good) to see more build details.

Yeah, Jojo's church was one of my favorite entries in the ISCC this year. Did
you see his castle in those pictures from 1000-Steine-Land?

The standard Christian response is that Jesus' action fulfilled the whole
sacrificial system, so in a sense the sacrificial system is still for "all
time", it is just that it is not animals any more, but Christ's substitutionary
role once for all on the cross that fulfills this.

I'd shop at that store.

There's got to be a way. Hmm, I'll have to dig through the Bible for an
appropriate instance. :)

I guess the actual depiction is in the context of the Bible saying that this is
a bad thing. I know that some people are offended at the use of minifigs in
these situations at all, but I got past that very quickly with Genesis 4:1. The
"Family Huddle", though, was an actual family event held at Legoland (I assume),
so to associate that with pedophilia sort of set my teeth on edge. Not a huge
deal, but just sort of off-putting.
