An teh monstar I saws It iz layk big spotteded kitteh, an It can has pawz layk bear, an It can has mout layk big neck-fur kitteh. An Teh dragn gaved it teh powurz an teh chairz an teh autoritiez. Revalashunz 13:2

Nonsense! The U.S. doesn't have spots. It has stripes!

Somebody else had this idea before you.

I shoot yous wit mah lollazer eyes. Srsly.

The Bible has been translated into geek. It's called the LOLcat Bible http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Main_Page

Enjoy!

Your welcome and I am sorry.

Of course, you can always look at the lolcat bible.

(1) Oh hai. In teh beginnin Ceiling Cat maded teh skiez An da Urfs, but he did not eated dem.

(2) Da Urfs no had shapez An haded dark face, An Ceiling Cat rode invisible bike over teh waterz.

(3) At start, no has lyte. An Ceiling Cat sayz, i can haz lite? An lite wuz.

Oh hai. In teh beginnin Ceiling Cat maded teh skiez An da Urfs, but he did not eated dem.

What about the Lolcat translation?

You're talking about Abe, but here's a link to the new version.

"Mary was a muthur cat thanx 2 HovurCat"

Just read the Lolcat Bible:

You'll turn the tables and be confusing the kids in no time.

He should have quoted that prophecy in lolcat to better match the rest of his "article".

Here's (one of the variations) on the Biblical story of Legion:

Loosely translated from KJVspeak to modern English:

Or, more appropriately for this thread, translated into lolcat:

An dey rode invisible bicycle cross da seas, into dis place wif unpronouncable name. (i thinks is gadarenes). Wen Happy Cat got off teh boat, a man wif teh ebil spiwit comz to seez him. Teh man livd in teh tooms, an nobuddy cud ty him up. Bcuz he wuz rly strong, an cud braek chainz an stuff. Srsly. Teh man ranz arownd an cutz himsself wif teh stoenz.

Wen he seed Happy Cat, he ranz ovur to him an he fallz down. An he wuz liek "Wut u wantz? Plz not hurtz me, k? Tell yr daddy Ceiling Cat u no hurt me, srsly!" Bcuz Happy Cat wuz liek "O, hai! U getz out of teh man, ebil spiwit, k?"

An den Happy Cat wuz liek "Hay, wutz ur naem?" An teh gai wuz liek "Mai naem iz Legion, bcuz we iz many! We do not frgive we do not frget." Srsly. An teh men wuz liek "Plz dunt maek me leev heer, k?"

Lotz of pigz wuz havin fudz ovur on teh hillsydz. An teh demunz sed "I can go insied teh pigz, plz?" An Happy Cat wuz liek "O, okai!" an teh demunz went insied teh pigz, and teh pigz ranz in teh water an drownd.

And for a particularly good illustration of that problem: just try to understand the more complex arguments on this page. (The kitty-pidgin Nicene Creed is too painful to link to.) No, no one's writing term papers in Kitty Pidgin; but what Kitty Pidgin is to IRC-speak (SMS?), IRC-speak is to formal English.

To continue the theme of sounding Orwellian: All languages are expressive, but some are more expressive than others.

Additionally, consider that languages and dialects differ in their expressiveness, and IRC-speak (or whatever they're calling it these days) is not among the most expressive. You have to leave that idiom to express ideas like this post's or its parent's; so someone who can't leave the idiom can't vocalize certain kinds of thoughts short of the Greenspun's Tenth Rule case.

Anyone who's tried to do philosophy in formal Modern English appreciates how terrible of a language it is for the purpose compared with Greek or German; and IRC-speak is a language that makes Modern English look expressive...

Have you seen http://www.lolcatbible.com/ ? I'd be scared if they added video cameras to the mix.

Mod not down, lest ye be metammodded.

What a self serving troll. Not even as funny as the lolcat bible.

That would be "lolcat," not cat. And here is a page to help you.

And the lolcat translation.

There's someone translating the bible in LOLCAT you know: http://www.lolcatbible.com/

Sea monsters, for unknown reason, are related to cows and dogs and thus we can -easily- domesticate them.

Uhh... No. You got it wrong. Cows, sure, but not dogs. Haven't you read your lolcat bible or are you a HERETIC??? Genesis 1:

An Ceiling Cat maed big fishies An see monstrs, which wuz like big cows, except they no mood, An other stuffs dat mooves, An Ceiling Cat sawed iz good

So you're claiming that the ceiling cat created the universe? But the ceiling cat is not a real ceiling cat because any idiot can see that it's a wall cat. It's only the camera angle that makes it look like a ceiling cat. Therefore your messiah is false because you viewed the facts in a skewed way. Furthermore you smell. Lets have a religious war over who is right. I smite u're followerz and burn u're temlplz 2 da groundz. Lollersk8tes!

He ended up concluding that the translators had done so much revising that if god existed, he would have prevented the distortion.

Good fucking grief. He's ok with God letting millions of people being murdered: that doesn't disprove either God's benevolence or existence. But failure to edit a book: oh noes, this can't be happening!

God said : "Literary critics, where were you when I wrote the original? How dare you complain about me not signing off on every translation?"

The oldest and the newest bibles on the same internets!

For even more fun...

Exodus 20:15 and 20:17

20:15 U no taek stuffs for free if not getz for free.
...
20:17 U no wantz neibor stuff! No wief, no gurlz, no menz, no animulz, NO BUKKITZ! DEY NOT UR BUKKITZ, K? dey da LOLrus' bukkits.

I went to the lolcat bible translation, instead.

This particular commandment is translated as "U no mek peepz ded!"

He creatd teh univers.
