part of the brilliant design of Lego is that the shapes of the pieces prevent children from creating anything sinful.

brilliant! god must have creted lego! *rolleyes*
Gosh, even I could build something sinful with my kids legos and I'm not a verry talented builder. (besides, I didn't know there was anything NOT sinful for those people)
@Marsten: It seems like a fundie who's a bit upset about Spore, the video game by Will Wright, the creator of SimCity and The Sims (the latter, of course, being another game that pissed the fundies off, what with it's potential to have your little pet people get into homosexual relationships!). Spore, basically, is an evolution simulator.
What's worse, the fact that adventurous youngsters actually *do* create sinful shapes with these, or the fact that fundamentalists immediately bring the issue up? (Thought bubble over the fundie head: "Hm... could this be used to construct *that* sort of sinful things? No. Surely not. They would be blocky and all.")
Sinful like what?
Clearly my sense of sin is deficient compared with admin's.
I mean, leggo is a game for kids. Whatever happened to the innocence of childhood?
I'm intrigued- somebody should look into this.
Moreso because they were against Spore because of this (admittedly quite vulgar) creation- not because of the minimal evolution involved. Odd, because Spore really does have a strong element of intelligent design.
The irony is that if the shape of the Spore creatures wasn't controlled at all by the player (what a boring game that would be...), this probably wouldn't have happened.
Actually, when I was like 11 or 12 and just getting started on the whole puberty thing, I made a bed with a couple of lego guys fucking on it. So basically, you fail.
Stuff I've built with Legos:
combat-spacecraft
a model of a sacred grove
a dragon with ten horns and seven heads...
The real brilliance in Legos is that they allow your kids to use their imaginations in ways even folks like you can't stamp out. (Even if you confiscate a Lego set, the individual components are small enough that you can hide a cash of 'em anywhere.)
I was a big Lego geek as a kid and mylove for them only increased durring my adolescence, when I discovered that a well-constructed Lego castle make a great, (and wicked-cool looking) stash-box.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
