I also 'stuck my foot in it'--I was so impressed that a 'Reverend' played
with LEGO and was doing the Bible with LEGO bricks. I went and told some of
my friends. Then I realized, probably due to a BPS posting at the time,
that he wasn't a Christian, and he was doing the Brick Testament as more of
a study 'n such.
I wasn't hurt at all--it didn't matter to me. What does it matter if a
person is Athiest or Christian, or whatever else? If he or she does
something impressive, I'm going to be duly impressed. I appreciated Larry's
mountain that he posted a few days ago--why would that appreciation differ
if I know Larry is an athiest? In the end, the work stands on its own. If
it's good, and it's something I like, I'll say just that.
For me, the idea that a non-God believing person is putting alot of effort
in detailing what he reads in the Bible with LEGO is also very interesting.
It gives me, as a Christian, an outside perspective to what I read--maybe,
just maybe, there's another way of interpreting the good book that all these
Christian type folks hadn't thought of or seen 'cause they're too close to
the subject. Maybe RBPS can help me (and hopefully other Christians) read
the Bible in a clearer light. That's not what I expect, nor is it the
reason I like The Brick Testament, but it is a possibility.
Keep up the great work, RBPS!
