I like this! "The Brick Testament is a project created by Brendan Powell Smith in which Bible stories are illustrated in parody using still photographs of dioramas constructed entirely out of Lego bricks. The project began as a website in October 2001 that featured six stories from the book of Genesis.[1] There is also a Brick Testament book series" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_Testament
Please visit the original website: The Brick Testament
Now, from Wikipedia:

The retelling of the action is essentially straight, although Smith takes care to bring out any elements of sex and violence or destruction in the story. The illustrations often make a sharply ironic commentary on the text, particularly on instructional passages. For example, the images used to illustrate the Ten Commandments focus on the original capital nature of the offences;[3] the injunction to suffer no false prophets is juxtaposed with scenes of the Jews applying the verse to Jesus;[4] and modern-day extremes are presented to test the limits of the command to "love one's enemy".[5] Throughout stories are retold using passages from the Bible, with chapter and verse cited, the wording being a free adaptation that Smith says is based on a number of public domain Bible translations.[6] Occasionally, mostly when images are being used to contrast with the underlying scripture, Smith dramatises the images with his own additional text. Such text is displayed in gray instead of the usual black."
I should combine LEGO with maximaphily...:)

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
