The SMS Bible: 4 God so luvd da world

From word-of-mouth, to papyrus scrawl, to Gutenberg press… we now bring you da Bible, in SMS 4m. No we're not kidding. A member of the Bible Society in Australia has translated all 32,173 verses in just "four weeks" (!) into SMS-style text. They even provide a free download from their site so you can send God nuggets like "In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth" to those in need of a little churchin' up.

[charlie @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

it also searches your phones memory for any porn or other unholy materials and sends an sms directly directly to the nearest church, mosque, or synagogue to give them your name

response to #3:

No, this shows that Macs are holy beyond reproach.

[Alek @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

wait.. why would it take 4 weeks? all youd have to do is have a word document of the bible and then set macros or watever up to change all occurances of a particular word it another spelling and then do this for each word.

i hate sms style text. ew.

[Jared Harley @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

I hate SMS-talk or whatever you want to call it... is 2 or 4 really shorter than to or four? It's pure laziness, in my opinion. Goodbye, proper English.

[Jeremy Wright @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

Jared, yeah, 4 is 9 key-presses shorter than "four". 2 is 3 shorter than "two".

[Targ8ter @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

That's what predictive input is for, Jeremy! Although not many of the T9 dictionaries are going to helpful when you start gettin' all King James on your phone... so, yeah. It is indeed the end of even slightly acceptable English (proper English has been dead and gone for a while now).

Pretty impressive yes. Must have been done with search and replace :D

[Hugh Newmark @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

They should make me a torah version

[fc @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

what a fucking piece of crap. no UNINSTALL option, i had to manually go in and delete the directories, go into windows registry to see what was added, do a "find" to see what new files were created in windows directory, went into directories named {3828-a939-faf9932994-oo09200} just to delete fuckign files.

fuck the smsbible. where's the text version?

[Jayvee Fernandez @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]

God does leave his mark :)

[juli-ann knight @ Dec 19th 2005 2:06AM]
