More than one person is trying to tweet the Bible. Conservatives are appalled. Jesus wept.

Twitter makeover for the Bible.

Quote:

Riess, who converted to Mormonism as an adult, started condensing after hearing an Easter Sunday sermon that included a tweet of the Bible's opening words in Genesis, chapter one. Unlike 32-year-old Juby's staid version, which tops off the actual text's "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the Earth" with 17 equally straightforward words, Riess's effort is played for laughs.

Using the online abbreviations BRB (be right back) and LOL (laugh out loud), it read: "Day 1: Lighting system installed. BRB. Days 2-6: Some assembly required: sky, plants, cows, people. Left humans in charge, LOL. Day 7: Siesta."

Maybe someone should migrate the bible to twitter permanently

I don't know why they're complaining. It'll be a whole lot easier to do creative apologetics with tweet-length chapters.
