God's Personal Ethic. Huh?
(2)
Speaking of 'Gods,' we shall now turn our attention to The Brick Testament. Yasss... TBT is a visual representation of Judeo-Christian Mythology, taken from the Old and New Testaments (Jewish and Christian Bibles). I find that the visual representation of the biblical scenerios therein provide the reader with what could be called, 'TMI' (Too Much Information), and thereby alters the viewer's original impression of those ancient texts which were usually learned in 'uncritical childhood.'
Many of us are, in some ways, 'victimized by our culture.' The most outstanding modern example of this cultural victimization is Infant sexual mutilation (Male Circumcision and Female Infibulation), aka 'sexual cutting.' But there are other ways in which ancient culture victimizes us all in an age which is undergoing extremely rapid changes. So let's begin at the beginning, shall we? Genesis:
----------
Concerning 'The Creation' it is obviously 'Mythology.' Seven day Mythology.
But The Garden of Eden is very interesting because it very revealing of 'God's Personal Ethic.' Hmmm! Notice, for example, that God placed the Tree of Life and The Tree of Knowlege together in the very center of The Garden, where Adam and Eve could not possibly have overlooked them. The first temptation! The very first 'temptation' in all of History! God first creates 'imperfect beings' and then He 'lays traps' for them to fall into! Huh??! Wha...?!
