But that Jesus is white and scares me, the real life Jesus was black and his followers scare me.

That's quite the tribute to the Prince of Pieces™.

Christ!

Also, Lego Jesus looks a little pixelated.

I find this extremely blasphemous... now a Lite Brite Jesus, I could get behind that.

I'm not a fan of the subject matter, but that's still damn cool.

Bonus: It's more real than the Biblical Jesus. You'd be better off worshiping Lego™ Jesus than worshiping the one you read about in the Bible.

If anything that picture shows that Bush was more friendly to the gay constituency than he ever let on. Certainly something libs can get behind.. On the other token, Obama's picture sets the civil rights movement back as the most powerful black man in the world bows to some old white dood..

Well don't get me wrong it's very beautiful, but if they are so passionate about Jesus, shouldn't they have spent those 18 months volunteering at a hospital or soup kitchen or something?

"He also said that even though the statue is all white on the outside, many of the donated Legos that the church received were of other colors and were placed inside."

Demonstrating once again that the church is very tolerant of individuality and diversity, as long as it all looks white on the surface.

Are you saying they should give up on the 2000x2000 ascii pic of the virgin Mary?

Kinda weird to see something like this come out of a country with the highest per capita of non believers in the world.

/I'll always thought they were lying to me when they said Jesus could be cool, I stand corrected.

THIS. We declared our Independence and shed our blood to NEVER bow down to another foreign leader. The connotation of bowing to a foreign leader is far, far worse than a ceremonial kiss. The kiss shows equality, a shared action. Bowing before the king is to show your obedience, that you are less than the king. We don't Bow to another country, evar. This goes along with why the U.S. Flag is never flown lower than any other.

You know Bush isn't president anymore, right?

Pretty sure the 'rightards' at least know what year it is...

Bah, Jesus was a Jew from Nazareth in Galilea, not Ethiopia. For the last time people, Jesus was a Hebrew not a Hebro.

While I agree with you in principle, I suspect the 40 volunteers who spent 18 months building the Lego Jesus probably did it during their free time, and that time probably wasn't taken away from any charitable volunteering they also might have done. They probably only worked on it for a little while each day, if that. I'm not a Christian, but I wouldn't begrudge them having a little fun making the thing. Now, if money had been spent on it that could have gone to the needy, yeah, I don't think that would have been right.

 
yogsothoth 2009-04-12 03:28:10 PM  
well, they could have done good works, ministered to the poor, donated to charity, done... ya know, something that jesus might have done. instead they made a lego jesus. way to go guys. way to miss the point entirely.

 
voidkat [TotalFark] 2009-04-12 03:29:44 PM  
Wouldn't it be more reasonable and apt to build him out of toast, tree knots, fence slats, or other questionable building materials that can get unusual stains?

/Just sayin'. Use His preferred method of being seen.

Felt the same way. Pretty sure Jesus would also be on board. Maybe I should go ask him. Lives down the hall and watching some soccer game. Free beer!

John 18:37
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Leviticus 26:1 "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God."

Tell that to the Orthodox or the Catholics. Wut no idols or saints or a fricken Mary statue to hail in church?

Dear Sweden,

When Hillary visits, please don't show her Lego Jesus.

She might ask who constructed it !

Instead of knowing that Jesus himself miraculously made it appear.

kthxby
