Via The Virtua Stoa, I discover this rather charming website in which Biblical stories are illustrated with lego figures and scenes. Having been with the kids to Legoland in California last summer, I knew there was a lot you could do with legos, but this is a new one!
Although I'm sure this was not the intention of the site's creators, I am brought in mind of some passages from Nietzsche's The Antichrist. From sec. 39:
The very word "Christianity" is a misunderstanding: in truth there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross....It is false to the point of nonsense to find the mark of the Christian in "faith," for instance in faith in redemption through Christ: only Christian practice, a life such as he lived who died on the cross, is Christian.
And, relatedly, from sec. 38:
Where has the last feeling of decency and self-respect gone when even our statesmen, an otherwise quite unembarrassed type of man, anti-Christians through and through in their deeds, still call themselves Christians today and attend communion?
