LOLcat Bible

Technically known as the LOLcat Bible Translation Project, it began in July of 2007. It is an online project dedicated to translating the entire Bible into lolspeak.

God is referred to as Ceiling Cat and Satan as Basement Cat. All characters, including God, converse in lolspeak. Common lolwords are used to express Christian ideas, such as blessings (cheezburger) and disciples (homiez).

The actual names of biblical characters and locations are grammatically accurate, and the LOLbible itself is an accurate representation of the bible. It is available for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

So liek teh Ceiling Kitteh lieks teh ppl lots and he sez 'Oh hai I givez u me only kitteh and ifs u beleeves him u wont evr diez no moar, kthxbai!' - John 3:16 from the LOLcat Bible
