Literary-critical Sunday school 14

Reading: Guido Wandrey, Die Weltreligionen Kindern erklärt, loc. 728-773/2119. ListeningDie Bibel, 41:00 - 57:00 (Genesis 10-14). 

Everything is getting Minecrafted. Today in the world religions book we started reading about Islam. The first image in the book was of the Kaaba and the Grad Mosque in Mecca. 



As soon as J saw that, he suggested he could build it in Minecraft. Which he proceeded to do shortly later, at the grocery store: 




When I asked him what the building to the left is, he said: "Das ist mein deutscher Hafen." 

Also, serendipitously, the story of the tower of Babel was up this morning, and once again it was just like Minecraft! I asked J if, in his Minecraft-world, there was a god who came down and destroyed buildings (not that this is really what happens in the bible story). Whereupon J: "Wenn es in meiner Minecraft-Welt einen Gott gibt, dann ist er nicht sehr streng." ("If there is a god in my Minecraft-word, he is not very strict.").
