  Flak Magazine: And God Said, Let There Be Legos, 12-03-03
The Brick Testament is not his first quirky project — some might recall his previous endeavor, the Internet film Vendetta: A Christmas Story.
And each character bears a facial expression that is uncannily apt to the situation: God's downturned eyebrows scorning Adam and Eve's disobedience, a nonbeliever's gnashing teeth as he writhes in the flames of hell, Mary's freckled surprise when confronted by the angel Gabriel, King Herod's wrinkled consternation as news spreads of Jesus' birth.
Of course, The Brick Testament is not embraced by all.

  Tower of Babel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And they began to build, and in the fourth week they made brick with fire, and the bricks served them for stone, and the clay with which they cemented them together was asphalt which comes out of the sea, and out of the fountains of water in the land of Shinar.
And they built it: forty and three years were they building it; its breadth was 203 bricks, and the height [of a brick] was the third of one; its height amounted to 5433 cubits and 2 palms, and [the extent of one wall was] thirteen stades [and of the other thirty stades].

The problem with creating whole other website versions of The Brick Testament in other languages is that Rev. Smith can under no circumstances allow the images from The Brick Testament to appear on websites which are not under his direct control.
