Hip Hop Prayer Book

[Lemur]

I told you people that we Episcopalians are weird. But you didn't believe me, oh no. Here's my latest proof that we're the weirdest mainstream Christian sect (excluding Mormons, for reasons too complex to go into for fear of massive thread derailment):

The Hip Hop Prayer Book

Free sample:

Psalm 23
The Lord is all that, I need for nothing.
He allows me to chill.
He keeps me from being heated
and allows me to breathe easy.
He guides my life so that
I can represent and give
shouts out in his Name.
And even though I walk through
the Hood of death,
I don't back down
for you have my back.
The fact that you have me covered
allows me to chill.
He provides me with back-up
in front of my player-haters
and I know that I am a baller
and life will be phat.
I fall back in the Lord's crib
for the rest of my life.

No argument here.

Word. Can't wait to get to the part about the ho's.

Ah Episcopalians/Anglicans. As my Catholic father called them: "Catholicism Lite (like a Diet Cola)". Now I guess it is "Hip Catholicism Lite".
Question, though...What does Episcopalion mean? As in word bases.

These two lines made me snort beer through my nose.

It reads like a stuffy old white man trying to immitate the stereotype of hip hop culture. Oh wait...

EDIT: Found him

Move over King James, here comes the Sugarhill Gang Version.

BTW, what is the hip-hop verson of "amen" (he asked, dreading the answer)?

Reminds me a bit of “Catholicism Wow!”
(I soooo want to put an afro on Buddy Christ)

With all the “hip hop” buzz words it seems a bit forced and cliché, I would be embarrassed to go down in history as the guy responsible for this. And speaking of history I’ll bet the future researchers of the true meaning of biblical phrases (like the burning bush) will have a party when they stumble upon this ancient tome.

I guess it is similar to translating the text from Latin to English but for some reason it seems blasphemous. But to prove I am not hate’ing I will give you an interpretation of my own …
A player won’t get wit another player like he would get wit one of his bitches.
