My mom actually bought this for my little cousin who is really into minecraft, I don't see how it's blasphemous at all. It tells the story of the bible, pretty well but easy enough for kids to understand, and keeps them interested by having it told through minecraft characters. I think it's genius.

I assumed the "blasphemy" call was on behalf of Minecraft, because I am sure the vast majority of people on this subreddit are either atheists or not religious. The chance of someone claiming this is blasphemous on behalf of Christianity is slim.

Simply and ridiculously untrue. I know we love hyperbole, but reddit is a very mainstream site filled with with a cross-section of the general population, with the irreligious (like me) comprising a small percentage of users.

Eh, I don't know. I'd say the proportion of non-religious people on this site is definitely at least moderately higher than the population at large.

    I think it's ridiculous to package religion for the easy feeding got children. One's childhood defines one's outlook on life, and by using a game that children love to color it with religion you're manipulating them.
    Teaching religion to children is something that I don't believe in, but it's a parent's prerogative to do so.
    By mass producing a version of the bible which uses Minecraft to present it, you're both manipulating the children who read it and taking away the parents' need to actively teach religion to their children.

    tl;dr: You're making religion too easy to spoon-feed to children who won't form their own opinions on it until their whole outlook on life is shaped by it.

    [–]rocky_comet [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

    "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." -Proverbs 22:6

    In other words, "If you indoctrinate them when they are young, they'll stay brainwashed forever."

    [–]Ryltarr [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

    Not to mention that it takes away a lot of the magic of Minecraft... Minecraft has no moral codes about it, leaving you create your own. It teaches (by simulated experience) that the world is what you make it, which is the opposite of a lot of what religion teaches.

      I dunno, man, I think it's pretty clever. I fail to see the spoon-feeding aspect here. It's not a replacement for talking to your children about what they see in the text. Or in the Minecraft-ian images.

      Can't speak for anyone else, but I dislike anything that specifically targets children when it comes to religion. If adults want to believe in that nonsense, whatever I guess, but when we try to market it to children, that boils my blood. Children shouldn't be taught this insanity.

      I have one of those bibles, but everything is made of legos. I'm not very religious, but it's really interesting seeing all those stories represented in they intricate sets and seeing creative uses for certain pieces. I still haven't read it though, just looked at the pictures.

          I've actually been curious about trying to find this and see if it is any good, I've always loved these different picturebook-Bibles similar to The Action Bible.

          Even if it ends up being really cheesy, might be worth it!

          Edit: Looking at the previews, I want this now. It is simple, a bit quirky, but very charming and cute if you ask me! Plus there are funny moments like how the serpent in the garden was replaced by a creeper. Creepers confirmed to have been cursed to explode.

          [–]Kjewbacca 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (2子コメント)

          You see children, just as Rome wasn't built in a day, it didn't fall in a day either. As the empire grew taller and taller, bigger and bigger, it started to get wobbly. Pretty soon, they ran all out of blocks and had to start using blocks from earlier! This made Rome even more wobbly. Now some circumstances happened that contributed to the fall of Rome, and that took out even more blocks. One of these is the invasion of the barbarian tribes. Another is that the Romans relied on slave labor too much. Another is corruption of the government. Pretty soon Rome was too big and couldn't stand up on its own, and it all came crashing down!

          [–]Draco6slayer [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

          This block is the goths, who were running away from the mongols and tried to seek safety in the tower. The tower didn't want to use up land for immigrants, which in the analogy is, I guess, empty space. So the tower didn't want to use up it's empty space, and didn't want to give the block solace, I guess the tower and the block have free agency, which is a bit unusual. Anyway the block attacks the tower. That doesn't happen in the game, I guess, but imagine if the rules were different. And the tower can't fight back, because it doesn't have a significant army anywhere, especially compared to the land it's defending. I guess in the game the tower doesn't have an army anyway-

          Fuck it. Let's do this with Risk.

          Funny enough Jenga if you think about it Jenga is an all around pretty decent item to use for various teaching! Physics/weight distribution, using the blocks and building blocks for creativity-related things (So long as you get the standard non-weirdly shaped logs), and other things like that.

          Technically, you are the one that announced a loss by saying others lost. Thus, because of the anti-recursion rule (which prevents you being forced to announce that you lost, because someone announced they lost), only the person to bring the game up in conversation has lost.

              There's nothing wrong with using something that your children can relate to to pass on your beliefs to them. Children's bibles have existed for years and simply representing the stories in a different manner isn't blasphemy, it's nice.

                  Idolatry is the worship of a physical representation of God. In the western churches, this has been changed to be more like "Don't worship false gods," but Greek Orthodox churches are far more strict on their interpretation. Since this would clearly be representing God's work, physically, as something other than its original form (I.E. The Bible), they would consider it Idolatry.

                  Actually, I've always thought this would be a good idea. I'm not Christian, but I've always thought that video games were a great metaphor for God and Jesus.

                  You see, God is like a programmer. Omnipotent and omniscient when it comes to his code. Jesus is kind of like God's avatar. Fully God, but also fully man, since he's subject to the physics of the game world. Except of course when God uses cheat codes to perform miracles. It also works with Genesis, since God could have written the code for the world in six God days, and then simulated it for a while. Minecraft simulates the world before putting the player in during world creation. Who's to say that the game didn't "start" until 6000 years ago?

                  Of course, all of this is unprovable and therefore not worth actually believing, but it's a neat thought experiment, IMO.

                  I've also heard about religious people hating on minecraft because it's so not religious and because its made in sweden (sweden is very low on the religious scale) so i'm pretty surprised and shocked here.

                  It's funny because Christians tried to ban Minecraft.

                  Of course not. But there were quite a few of them. Enough to make this incredibly amusing.
