'''''[http://www.thebricktestament.com/ The Brick Testament]''''' is a project consisting of sections of ''[[The Bible]]'' illustrated with photos of [[LEGO]] figures reenacting them.
Apart from the obvious stylistic choice, the site is also notable for illustrating not only the well-known Bible stories, but emphasizing the less palatable sections that you will ''never'' have learned in the typical Sunday School, such as "[http://www.thebricktestament.com/judges/iron_chariots/jg01_19a.html The Iron Chariots]".
Oh, and have we mentioned that the author is an atheist who likes to ''[[Author Tract|mock the very subject he is illustrating whenever he has the chance]]''?

* [[A Million Is a Statistic]]: Averted. During the story of Noah's Ark, he goes out of his way to remind us that yes, Noah's family and some animals lived on the boat, but everyone else on the ''planet'' dies. Every man, woman, and child drowns around them. When the rainbow of peace shines over a field of skeletons, it's almost comical.
* [[Angry Eyebrows]]: [[God|Yahweh]] has them.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Almost literally. In [https://web.archive.org/web/20141003140800/http://www.bricktestament.com/judges/samson_slaughters_1000/jg15_14.html this page,] the insults that the crowd throw at Samson are "Murderer!", "Arsonist!", and "That riddle sucked!"
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Well, these are LEGO figures, after all.
* [[The Bible]]
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: The angels have maniac evil faces (most notable in the Revelation section) in spite of their white clothes and butterfly wings, which makes [[God Is Evil|Yahweh's evilness]] more obvious.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Oh so very much subverted. LEGO doesn't make everything cuter.
* [[
* [[Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book]]: The choice of medium makes the blood'n'gore (represented by heaps of translucent red tiles) and mass destruction that much more disturbing.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Every comic includes a modern English translation of the original Bible passage.
