The Lyrics
This is for anyone who's never seen The Brick Testament (and a bit of an eye-opener to anyone who thinks this Judeo-Christian God is loving, merciful or anything other than some kind of genocidal maniac). If everything works properly, all the links should open in the same target window, allowing you to read the parody and click on the appropriate link...
Brick it!
Moses was telling Pharaoh "Let my people go"
Threaten him with plagues, but he still says, "No!"
Frogs, lice and locusts - Pharaoh'd been warned
Boils, hail and dark and then his own first-born
You cannot fight 'gainst the might of Yaaaaaah-veh
Take Jericho? Josh'a said, "No way!"
"Here's how you do it," says Yahveh:
For six days, you march all around
On the seventh day the walls fall down - kabloom!
You cannot fight 'gainst the might of Yaaaaaah-veh
They killed Amorite kings and then they hung 'em in the air
They utterly destroyed everyone who lived there
When their god is helping every time they fight
No wonder they're scay-ered of the Israelites!
You cannot fight 'gainst the might of Yaaaaaah-veh

Holy parody, Phil!
Oy vey, are you gonna get comments. But thou shalt be absolved, for the Lord thy God hath a sense of humor. (Michael 5:15)
prophet from these fives
Lego of this parody and you shall get fives
This parody is built like a Brick shrift house.
Biblically jesterin' 5s
Thanks, all. Been wanting to write a parody linked to the Brick Testament for a while now - there may still be some more in the offing, as this is a rather short OS.
Michael - he'd better have a sense of humour, else I'm truly done for ;-) He's certainly some sort of prankster...

5-5-5. Actually, compared to certain other deities of the period, Yahweh is actually a quite boring and mellow guy.
Wooo! What, did you get bored after only eight sets of 1s? Barely worth bothering about. And do you really dislike Lego that much?
At the rate things are going, you'll end up with 1000 1s in about 4 months here, Phil. ;) I clicked on the main link - funny, I used to have a 21sq ft Lego town (I really miss that), but I don't remember the "God" set. Man, I woulda love to have had that! I'll have to read through those links more later on. In the meantime, here's some 5s.
Maybe Lego should release the ultimate "Lego Creator" set :-)
