Any of y'all heard of this? A bible that replaces words with emojis. It's somehow supposed to make the Bible more relatable to Millenials.

Seems ridiculous to me, but I guess if it helps young people become better people, then it's good.

This sort of thing isn't new. I remember reading about a lolcat bible several years ago.

I had a student use emojis in a paper...

So I used the thumbs down, red angry face and poop to convey his severely severely lowered grade...

Now I use that as an example...Ive also had "texting" language incorporated into writing..."prolly" especially sends me over the edge!

I hate 'wut' being used for 'what'.

I think this is a perfect use for silly, made up icons; a silly, made up story.
