Luke is awesome:

'But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.'

Edit: Fixed link so that it no longer points to a presentation by James Randi, but to the LEGO passage in question .

The Brick Testament re-creates much of the Old Testament - in LEGO. Funny thing is, unlike most "shortened Bibles" and "children's Bibles", it doesn't censor anything. If the Bible says there's a massacre, the LEGO figures go on a massacre. If there's a circumcision, the little LEGO baby gets circumcised. If there is sex... well, you get the point.

I think that besides the funny LEGO re-enactments, the best thing is how the fundamentalists absolutely loathe it. They don't want people to read it, they don't want their children to read it (not because it's graphic, but because it's honest), and quite frankly, they want it taken off the Web and burned and condemn the author to Hell. For portraying the Old Testament as it was.

Read and enjoy. It should be an eye-opener both for Christians and us heathens.
