The Red Sea may have parted for the Israelites, but what about all the Egyptians who drowned? Were they just disposable evildoers?



The Brick Testament

The Brick TestamentPosted by Spiros Antonopoulos on December 7, 2005 - 3:56pm.

The Brick Testament is a version of the Bible—illustrated entirely in three dimensional scenes, rendered with Legos, and then photographed—meticulously constructed by a tireless artist known as the Rev. Brendan Powell Smith. Rolling Stone called his work The Passion in Plastic. And it’s a decidely provocative exploration of the text. Smith’s latest installment is a scene-by-scene depiction of the Book of Judges, which includes the gang rape (Judges 19:25) and dismemberment (Judges 19:29) of a concubine. The East Bay Express decribes the effect like this:




Ten Green Commandments

Conventional wisdom has long held that the religious right is, generally speaking, hostile to environmental regulations. There’s no denying that a strong and influential group of dominion theologists have aggressively lobbied against federal-level protections because they believe that the Bible sanctions humanity's exploitation of natural resources. As a passage in Genesis puts it: “God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

Interests: Horseback riding, watching the silence of the snow, obviously anything creative, cooking
Inspiration: Like most of you, when I heard of recycling to save the earth, I naturally assumed I needed to separate my plastics, newspapers and glass. I was helping. That was all I needed to do. Then one day, I was searching around for something fun, some art, and I came across this abstract piece. It was gorgeous - it looked like a naturally formed wave of icy white water bursting into the air. When I looked closer at it, I saw that it was made from recycled plastic caps. I was in shock. What kind of imagination and talent does that take to look at a plastic cap and see more to it then what it actually is? How can someone be so ingenious that they can take something that we normally throw away and create such a piece of beauty with it? This is the thought process that I could not stop pondering and it took over my mind, body and soul and soon enough became my muse. I began Earth's Journey for this reason. I wanted to show the world that there was more to saving the earth than just recycling. There is beauty in things we can't even imagine, and so many ways to help our planet flourish. There are products out there that we all could use to completely decorate, furnish and run a home... all environmentally safe. You can buy organic bedding, non-toxic cleaning detergents, solar power, or make a change in a small way by using energy-efficient light bulbs. But the best part of recycling and being eco-friendly is the beauty that you'll find here, with all of our different artisans. As you can see I'm very passionate about this type of artistic creativity, and I hope you will be too. I invite you to sit back, relax and ... Be Inspired by Green!
