OMG! Teh Baibul!

Since this is the first entry on this particular blog, I thought I'd start with something light and comic, rather than come out swinging with both fists. Over at lolcatbible, we have a translation of the bible that can be properly understood by modern teens and other instant message / texting users. It's not quite leet-speak, but it's good. Quite good.

My favorite part of the bible has always been the Song Of Solomon. (LOL Version) It's actually pretty good love poetry. However I was always and still am a bit confused as to what function it serves in the bible. There is the interpretation that it is supposed to be allegory for the relationship between god and Israel, or between Christ and the believer. I'm not sure I buy that, and truthfully, I find it a bit disturbing. It's kind of a non-sequitur as well. We have a long series of "Don't do this, don't do that, here's how you worship god, here are the laws, a few stories about god's petty jealousy and vengeance, etc… Oh, by the way, your breasts are like the fruit of the vine and I want to climb the vine and grab your fruit.

Well, I'm all for fruit-grabbing.
