Leg Godt / Gizmodo
Gizmodo is a prime news site for all things tech-y and geeky, including LEGO. You can read the whole site, or go straight to the LEGO-themed sub-site Leg Godt (btw, the name LEGO came from the Danish phrase 'play well', or 'leg godt'). Anyway, a few days ago writer Titania Danger wrote a piece on GodBricks. Thanks, Titania! Glad you're enjoying the site. Everyone else, please check out her articles on LEGO and other topics.

Pop-up Kinkaku-ji
I ran across an Italian language blog, Religione 2.0, that has occasional posts on LEGO creations. One of the ones they've featured in the past is an older MOC that I haven't posted here yet, Talpaz's Pop-up Kinkaku-ji. You really have to watch the whole video to believe this. The Temple of the Golden Pavilion is a Zen Buddhist temple built in Kyoto, Japan. The original dates from 1398, but was destroyed 60 years ago and the present building is a reconstruction.

The Assemblies of God want you ... to build LEGO
I was contacted by Gina Copeland of the Assemblies of God. They are looking to hire someone to create a large interactive LEGO display at a convention in Phoenix, Arizona, next August. If you are interested, please contact her at gcopeland@ampforlife.com for more details.

Happy Ramadan
Okay, maybe one of my Muslim readers could help teach me the proper greeting for this month (Blessed Ramadan? Peace be upon you?), but we are in the midst of the month of Ramadan. Muslims fast during the days of this month, remembering the initial revelation of the Qur'an to Mohammed. 1wave posted this mosque at the start of the month, and says it is the start of an upcoming diorama. So watch his account for the fuller creation to come. This is also a good place to note that GodBricks got a great review on PhiloSufi, a blog by two Canadian Muslims. Thanks to Deborah for the great review and also for pointing it out to me.

Navigation
Just a quick note - I've added tags to the posts and a tag cloud and search function over on the sidebar to make it easier to navigate my blog. The sidebar has also been rearranged a bit - the top box is about this blog and the bottom box is links to the wider LEGO fan community.

GodBricks in the New York Times !!!!
Wow, GodBricks got mentioned in the New York Times! This blog was linked in the article Turning to Tie-Ins, Lego Thinks Beyond the Brick. Welcome to any new readers who may have found me via the link in their article. I've been on hiatus for the past month due to moving to a new state and preparing to teach in the fall term, but rest assured I will be back adding regular new content within the week. Check out my welcome post for a little about the thought behind this blog. Thanks to Andrew of the Brothers-Brick for the heads-up, and thank you to Nelson Schwartz, the NYT reporter, for noticing my little effort.

Why build religious MOCs?
In the comments to a previous post on a LEGO Solomon's Temple, Dan writes:
This was a good point that got me thinking. Why do we choose to build religious subject matter? I came up with four reasons. I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts on these and suggestions as to other motives.
Didactic reasons
Sometimes a LEGO creation is built to make some point or to teach some lesson in relation to religion. I've previously blogged several of these already. For instance, Dan and Peter made their Passion of Christ films explicitly to teach others the Easter story. I've noted Steven Schwartz's presentations that teach Jewish kids about their history. A point doesn't have to be in favor of a particular faith. For example, Brendan is up front that he is trying to make a point about the ways in which he feels that the Bible is an unworthy text upon which to base your life in his illustration of the Brick Testament. Satire is another way of making a didactic point.
Inspired by art and architecture
As Dan notes above, we often draw our inspiration for MOCs* from existing art or architecture. For instance, I've already blogged Saint Peter's Basilica and the Dome of the Rock by Arthur Gugick. He's created other cathedrals, the Taj Mahal, a Mormon temple and other buildings that I'll surely blog here in the future. In addition, though, he has an Empire State Building, Big Ben, the White House, the Roman Coliseum and a huge number of other architectural landmarks. Now I have no idea of Arthur's religious views, but I do know that he is not simultaneously a Catholic, a Muslim, a Mormon, a follower of ancient Mayan religions and a worshiper of the Great Wall of China. He chooses his subject matter because he is inspired by architecture and these great cultural landmarks. I don't think anyone could walk into Notre Dame, for instance, without being impressed with it as a building and thinking it would be a great subject of a model regardless of one's views on the Christian faith. The same could be said about religious art.
I should note that I think that many of those who created the original art or architecture were doing so as an act of worship. Yes, I'm sure that there were other motivations as well--they could be making them just for the money, or for the desire of lasting fame. However, it seems to me that the creation of these was often an act of devotion. The same could be true of the LEGO builder who is following their initial leading.
*By the way, for the non-LEGO-hobbyists who might be reading this blog, MOC stands for My Own Creation--something built out of LEGO that is not based upon a set of instructions, but rather the builder's own creativity.
Expression of ingrained culture
For some, I believe, religious building comes out of an ingrained culture. Western literature is full of Christ-figures, for instance, in part because the authors grew up surrounded by this sort of imagery, and often believed in Christ themselves. C.S. Lewis wrote that when he began The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe he had no initial conscious desire to write a Christian work, but that the symbolism crept in. As the story developed, he decided to make it intentionally didactic, but at first, at least, Aslan's identity was a natural growth out of Lewis' own religiosity. I think the same could be said about many LEGO builders who are also religious. There are infinite possible subjects for our building--from spaceships to castles to abstract art to cartoon characters to everyday objects. Sometimes subjects become natural to us because they are an important part of our own characters. I think the many LEGO nativity scenes, such as this by Watchman are examples of this sort of thing. The builders could make anything; or if we limited ourselves to considering Christmas decor they could make Santas or snowmen. They chose, though, to create something that is (for many at least) important to their religious beliefs. This is not quite the same thing as an act of devotion, but it is close.
Worship
Finally, there is worship, or devotion. Dan noted that he felt the previously blogged Solomon's Temple was this sort of creation. I think the Swedish Jesus statue is another (though this probably also had some didactic intent in getting kids interested). I actually think that creations with any of the other motivations could, at least at times, fall into this area. For instance, some people from prosyletizing faiths may see doing so as following the will of God, and they may see a didactic use of LEGO as an act of worship. Others may be inspired by art in general, but most inspired by the art that matches with their deepest views, and use this inspiration to turn to LEGO. Finally, I think that the line between cultural expression and worship can often be pretty fuzzy. At Christmas time I sing carols (me being both an inheritor of Western tradition and also a religious Christian). If I'm singing "Here Comes Santa Claus", that's completely cultural. If I'm singing "O Little Town of Bethlehem", though, that is both cultural and worshipful.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. I'd be interested to hear yours. Are there motivations I've missed?
I think this is the first time I've seen LEGO building used as a form of worship. Usually, we see people approach this topic from the perspectives of satire or architecture, but reading that blog I really got the idea that this kid was using this project as a sincere expression of faith.

WWJB?
I wrote this in response to a question on a Christian forum about what sorts of LEGO God would want us to build. That discussion went down a lot of unhelpful rabbit trails, starting with some argument about whether Star Wars (the Force) and Harry Potter (witchcraft) were evil, but I was intrigued by the initial question. Some people responded with thoughts of "LEGO is just a toy - it doesn't matter - God doesn't care - why would someone even raise the question?" I thought a little differently and wrote the thoughts below. Remember, this was written in a specifically Christian setting to a (presumably) Christian audience, so certain assumptions come along with that discussion. I'd be interested in hearing others' thoughts (and please, no running down rabbit trails about the Force and witchcraft and ending up in a completely unrelated argument about creationism or the sexual scandals involving Catholic priests) (that's what the aforementioned discussion ended up as, BTW).
In thinking about what a Christian should, or should not, do with LEGO, I start with the assumption that LEGO is (or at least can be) a form of art. It seems obvious that some art can be done to the glory of God - think of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, or the great Gothic cathedrals, or Handel's Messiah. These are all explicitly pointing to God. I think we can go beyond specifically religious subject matter, though. In discussing what it means to be a Christian author, Madeline L'Engle writes "to paint a picture or to write a story or to compose a song is an incarnational activity."1 Tolkien writes that the role of an author (and, we can assume, other artists (especially since he expands the metaphor to a painter in "Leaf by Niggle")) is to act as a sub-creator.2 The artist can be "inspired", that is, follow the leading of the Spirit, in a way that adds to creation and lifts the human condition. In addition to art that is sacred, it also seems obvious that some art can be profane. Some artists specifically set out to offend religious sensibilities (think, for instance, of the artist who put a crucifix in a jar of urine). An idol is another instance of profane art. I'd go further to say that any art that sets out to degrade people could also fall in this category (people being made in God's image). What is more questionable, perhaps, is if there is art that is neutral—neither sacred nor profane. We are told to do all things to the glory of God (e.g. 1 Cor 10:31), but some actions seem pretty neutral. For instance, I just scratched the tip of my nose while writing this. I cannot see what import that action has one way or the other. The same can be said of much art. I'm not sure what we could say one way or the other about a still life of a bowl of fruit, for instance.
Turning back to LEGO, I think most things that people build fall into this third, neutral category, whether it be a spaceship, a castle, or a train. So I really wouldn't worry from a negative standpoint about what you're building being offensive to God. Perhaps we should put more thought, though, in the other direction. "All things are lawful, but not all things edify." (1 Cor 10, again) If the central fact of our existence is our love for God, how is that reflected in our hobby? By this I don't just mean we should be building little crosses out of LEGO or illustrations of Bible stories, but are we following the leading of the Spirit in what we do? Is there a way that my most recent MOC can somehow add beauty to creation or lift up our eyes to something higher? It is, I suppose, a twist on the WWJD idea - what would Jesus build? It's probably a good challenge to us all.
Just to add a quick note from a different perspective, this blog post encourages Muslim parents to "Play like the Prophet" - that is, to encourage their children to play in ways that Muhammad would as part of making their faith real to them. They specifically note running, swimming and wrestling, as I gather there are references to Muhammad doing those things during his life. Muslim LEGO builders may ask themselves how their building might reflect their beliefs. For instance, I might assume that they would be less likely to do representations of people.
1From Madeline L'Engle Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art - the whole book is an extended essay in response to a question she got from a student about what it means to be a Christian author.
2He develops this idea in various places (e.g. in his letters), but it is easiest to find in the essay "On Fairy-Stories," originally in Essays Presented to Charles Williams, but reprinted in both Tree and Leaf and The Tolkien Reader, which may be easier to find.

Navigational tool
If you look over on the right just below "welcome and essays" I've added a box called "Find posts on:". I'm going to add keywords to the end of each post so that it is easy to find posts on, say, Hinduism. Mostly I'm listing faith traditions, with "OtherFaiths" as a stand-in for either ancient faiths or current minority faiths. I'm also including keywords for The Brick Testament, since I'll probably have many of these, and Architecture, to find things like cathedrals, mosques, etc.
Right below that I've added another box with links to a few site of general relevance to this blog. Please let me know if you have others I should add.
-later edit- I'm redoing how I'm indexing posts.

Flickr group - LEGO and God
I've started a Flickr group, LEGO and God, with the same theme as this blog. There you can add your own images of religiously-themed LEGO creations and discuss these topics. In part my motivation is to have an easy place to find items for this blog, though I'll also search elsewhere, and also to have a place for people to discuss these topics.

Welcome to GodBricks
Hey all,
Welcome to my blog, GodBricks - blogging at the intersection between LEGO and religion. I'm a LEGO hobbyist (known in the hobbyist community as an AFOL - Adult Fan of LEGO) and also a religious person. I feel that our most deeply held views impact all of our lives, including our hobbies. This blog explores that connection. A quick FAQ:
Why start this blog? Religious themes have been at the heart of much of the great art and architecture over the history of mankind. Since I believe that LEGO is (or at least can be, though that is another debate) both art and architecture, it is no surprise that there are many religiously themed LEGO creations out there, from LEGO illustrated Bible stories, to recreations of great cathedrals, etc. This blog was inspired by a group on another site that was supposed to be about LEGO and Christianity. I joined, thinking it might be interesting, but it turned out to just be a forum to argue about different aspects of religion/atheism etc. Frustrated, I decided to start something more along the lines that I had hoped to find there.
What topics will be covered? Really any LEGO topic that touches on religion. I'll treat that fairly broadly. For instance, I could see an installment of the Brick Testament, a sculpture of a Buddha, something based on religiously themed literature (e.g. Narnia), or even something about Darwin (since evolution/creation is a debate that touches on religious themes). Full disclosure here - I am a Christian of a Protestant stripe, so I may tend to notice things related more to my own religious tradition, plus much of the LEGO community is based in the US/Europe where Christianity is the dominant tradition, so there may be a bias towards LEGO creations that touch on this, but I'll be open to blogging any LEGO mosque or whatever from a different faith system.
Why another blog? Yes, I already have three other LEGO blogs devoted to vignettes microscale and miniland. Some might question why not just have one big "all things LEGO" blog rather than split my attention multiple ways. The simple truth is that I really like blogs with themes rather than just anything cool, plus the Brothers-Brick and Klocki have, IMO, pretty much covered the ground on general LEGO blogs. If I did decide to go "all things LEGO", rather than expanding one of my own blogs, I'd ask Andrew if I could join his team at the BB. I like there to be one place to go to find all you want to about a given topic. Say, for instance, you're into LEGO train building. If there were a hypothetical TrainBricks blog, you could keep up on all the news in that area. Plus, if there were a non-LEGO fan out there who was into model railroading, they could run across this TrainBricks blog and find it very interesting, and maybe become interested in LEGO as a result. If their thing was trains, though, they'd be much less likely to stick around at, say, Brothers-Brick, where train creations are mixed in with castle, space, mecha, sculpture, general LEGO news, etc. I'm hoping that this blog could become interesting to people that are interested in religious topics, regardless of any prior interest in LEGO.
What about debates? I'm entering into this venture with fear and trembling, because I well know that this topic could spin off into debates about religion/atheism/creationism/stem-cells/transubstantiation/terrorism/etc. I'm going to ask people to stick to the brick in their comments. Yes, sometimes a LEGO creation has a message, and it's reasonable to discuss the message and how it is conveyed by the model. However, I'm going to try to stop any debates that spin too far away from the original topic, which starts with the LEGO.
