Brendan, very cool per usual.

Thanks, Chris.

I liked the hitch trailer in slavery - very white
trash (I see many as I look out my window :-).  Also,
some other notable cool things I spotted was the operating
room (what is that clear thing in the corner?),

That's the IV drip bag, which is a crystal ball turned upside down.

the entire first pic with the evangelists, and that crazy stack of
goodies from the town (and poor JarJar).

It was fun to figure out what a pile of loot should look like.

Storywise, the false prophet story took a few more liberties
than we're used to seeing from you.  But I suppose that's the
most immediately recognizable way to get the gist of it across.
But I'm certain it's not an attack or deliberate shot at
anybody, because that's not your style.

You could take out the whole part about the "false prophet" being Jesus, and I
would still find the whole story very disturbing, especially when combined with
"When to Stone Your Whole Family" and "Religious Tolerance".  I think the
questions we're left with are:

1) Why would God mandate that members of all other religions besides Judaism be
annihilated?

2) Is Yahweh, God of Judaism, the same as the multi-part God worshipped by
Christians?

3) If the answer to 2 is yes, what sense can Christians make of their God
mandating that all members of other religions besides Judaism be annihilated?

The purpose of my illustrating these stories is not to provide answers to these
questions, but just to get people thinking about them, no matter what answers
they eventually arrive at.  Well, that and to show off my LEGO skillz and maybe
provoke a chuckle or two.

Like always, can't wait to see more!

One final batch of Laws is on the way.

PS. I’ve set the follow-up to off-topic.debate, but if anyone is responding to
just the LEGO building aspects of this post, please respond to .ancient.

(...) 1. The Israelites were supposed to keep themselves pure. Allowing worshipers of foreign gods to remain alive in their midst would corrupt them and lead them into idolatry. They of course didn't do a very good job of this; otherwise there (...) (21 years ago, 15-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
