Today we have an exhortation from the Holy Lolcat Bible, Psalm 1:
Blessid iz da feline
no walk in counsil of wickid,
no place paws in path of da sinnerz,
no sit and purr with da mockerz.But der delightz in lawz of Ceiling Cat,
an ponderz much.Tehy liek treez bai teh waterz,
dat yieldz teh good fr00tz.
Leef duzn’t wither,
prosperz much.Not so teh wickid,
dey like chaffz
pwnt by windz.
For more lulz, you can read just about the whole bible in lolcat if you have the interest. It’s hard to believe people actually “translated” all that.
Here are some places to start: Gen 1; Prv 1; Jn 1; Mk 14
I know of at least one marriage in which the vows were spoken in lolcat. According to a friend who works at the state office of births, deaths and marriages, there was a bit of a flap among the legal advisers, who took some time deciding if the vows would be considered solemn enough to be legal.
That is unbelievably cool! *dreams*
I’d love to see those. That’s hilarious. I wonder what all the older people at the wedding thought (though they probably explained it a little)
Soon the older people will be of the internet age – will be quite interesting to see old people talking lolcat and laughing at internet memes.
Yeah – my friend is also a marriage celebrant, and she was disappointed that she was not scheduled to work that weekend as she would have loved to have been officiating. She has offered to do my wedding for me if I ever get married, so I have the option of having lolspeak at mine :-)
Proof positive that some people really do have too much time on their hands. If only they’d do my research for me and write my papers (wait, nvm, I don’t think my professors accept papers in lolcat form)! There’s no justice in this world… :’(
Oh, c’mon d00d! It’s a wiki project. If people have enough time to play at being encyclopaedia editors, they can participate in some healthy satire. Hehehe… it’s being getting on some people’s nerves though. Check this for some Christian responses to the Lolcat Bible: http://www.christianforums.com/t7286869/
I love the ol’ “Atheists don’t make fun of the Qur’an cos they’re spooked” argument.
The thing is, we’d be happy to make fun of the Quran… but since most of us were not raised in that culture, it isn’t anywhere near as much fun.
Reading the posts on that forum is pure entertainment!
“I think it is humorous, in a way, but I think it could be dangerous since the translating was obviously done by people who are not Bible scholars, and, in their effort to mock, they likely have changed the meanings of some of the theological passages.”
Of course “Bible scholars” are more knowledgeable than anyone else, and none of them have ever changed anything in the Bible. Duh, everyone knows THAT!
I maintain that if the Bible is the word of God, it should be just as effective if translated into LOLcat. Which is why on those rare occasions that I quote text from it in print, it is always in LOLcat. It easily sorts out those who pay more attention to the form of the words than the substance. And it’s also good for the lulz.
The Logos is the Logos, regardless!!! :P
Logos are an integral part of this complete breakfast.
lmfao, They said using the “‘F’ acronym” anywhere in the bible is vulgar, but the parts about incest and genocide that were already there is perfectly fine? Stupid stupid stupid.
Lego my logos!
Gee, thanks … now I want waffles.
or should I say …
I can haz wafulz nao?
u sharez wafulz? Den yes, u can haz wafulz nao.
If there were a god, I would ask him to spare me from more cat pictures with abominable english captions…… Since there doesn’t seem to be any proof that there IS a god, I will take solace in the fact that my cat confines herself to purring, and avoids butchering english.
My dog, on the other hand, never shuts up.
It’s fun, but am I the only person who feels like hitting my head after reading a couple sentences?
That is really funny.
I can haz Beismnt Cat Bible?
(Srsly, I’d love to see a copy of TSB in LOLSpeak.)
That sounds so GANGSTA.
LOLcat rap …
Oh crap. Now that I’ve thought of it, it’s just happened somewhere on the ‘net.
Some genuinely marvellous work on behalf of the owner of this website, utterly great subject material.
