The LOLCat Bible Translation Project proves that if anything can save religion, it's LOLspeak. Pious individuals around the world may not get a rise out of this crowdsourced masterpiece, but I sure do.

Try this passage on for size from Jeremiah 9, courtesy of the LOLCat Bible Translation Project:

dis ar teh wut teh lord almighty sez: "considr nao! Call 4 da wailin women 2 come; Send 4 da most skillful ov them.18 let them come quickly An wail ovar us Till r eyez overflow wif tears An watr streams frum r eyelidz. 19 teh sound ov wailin iz herd frum zion: How ruind we r! How great iz r shame! We must leef r land Cuz r haus r in ruins. "
