Oops. Am I going to get into acro-trouble again??? :-)

No, but as far as I’m concerned you still haven’t properly
addressed that ill timed and extremely insensitive
worthless
comment.
|
How about this-- I didn’t write it on Sept 11th (in my time zone),
so your point is moot AFAIAC
|
All right then, why don’t you simply address the worthless part
and forget about the proximity to that particular date.
Hey, I’ve got an idea. Since the worthless comment stemmed from
an argument over the pictoral interpretation of the bible as
presented in the Brick Testament, why don’t you show us all how you
would do it? I see the parable of the good samaritan hasn’t been
done up yet. Perhaps you could illustrate that one in lego bricks.
|
I could, but that sounds very uninteresting to me. And part of my problem with
the BT is that depictions of Biblical stories using LEGO minifigs tend to mock
them (the stories, that is:-) LEGO sculptures of a creche, for instance, are
okay. Call me weird. Besides, I prefer felt board Biblical stories! :-)
| |
While you’re at it, ask yourself some questions. Were samaritans
unbelievers?
|
No.
Well, now you know.
| |
Were their lives worthless?
|
No.
| |
If so, does
that imply the parable is worthless, since without that worthless
samaritan the parable would be significantly shorter, and not nearly
as interesting.
|
The whole point of the parable, Don, is that Samaritans have worth in God’s
eyes, even though the Jews considered them “worthless”. It is an indictment on
the hypocrisy of the Jews for hating Samaritans.
