There's a new version of the bible called the Book of Yeezus.
The book of Yeezus is a hardback book in which occurrence of the word "God" was replaced by "Kanye" in the Bible.
As blasphemous as the book looks, the creators have described it as just an "editorial piece of art"
According to them
This book wasn’t made to make fun at Kanye, or really even show or undying devotion towards him. Book of Yeezus is simply an exposition. It’s adding an original twist to something ancient and important in order to capture new meaning. We are trying to cast our spotlight towards the way cultural icons
have come to be the contemporary
spiritual figures in our information
culture.
Each generation champions a superstar, so consistently relevant that they come to accompany that generation through its evolution, being a part of and ultimately
shaping its identity. Such past icons have been the likes of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, or Michael Jackson. For this generation, Generation
Y, Kanye West is not only its greatest spectacle, but in some senses, a spiritual figure. We are here to spread a doctrine.
Well, a pseudo-doctrine.
Kanye West's latest album is titled Yeezus
