I found a real gem today. It’s a christian blog about how Minecraft is actually an allegory for the crusade against Satin, and is secretly teaching us about the bible.
The blog owner updates up to the full release of Minecraft, for reasons that will become apparent as you course through this religious epic.
Here’s an excerpt:
"Most interesting are the Endermen. The name is a portmanteau of “end of men”, meaning the end of Man’s stewardship over Earth, which the player’s activity represents, and the beginning of the new Kingdom of God after Jesus returns. The Endermen come in the night and steal your blocks, causing destruction to your buildings. This is a clear reference to the analogy from 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 of the day of the Lord coming “as a thief in the night” and bringing sudden destruction to the unsaved. Also, the Endermen drop “enderpearls”, which if you use on a pig will do absolutely nothing (a clear reference to Matthew 7:6)."
