If you worship Kanye West, then you are going to love this Bible, where fans replaced God's name with "Kanye" or "Yeezus."
The site Etsy users, who are selling 'The Book of Yeesuz' for 20 dollars, wrote that the handmade hardcover book is a novelty coffee-table book that is celebrating the "grandeur" of the 37-year-old rapper, E! Online reported.
The users explained this "Bible for the New Age" by asking what would the Bible, the most singularly significant publication in the ancient canon of Western tradition, look like if it was updated to reflect the modern society.
They noted that "In the beginning Kanye created the heaven and the earth...And Kanye said, Let there be light: and there was light," adding that in a sense, West's awesome and orchestrated spectacle is truly a religious experience.
The users continued that in a foreword, they explore their consumerist, quick-fix, and information-culture, and celebrate West and the outsized significance he plays in their lives. All of this, bound in a black, hard-cover gold-leaf imprinted book.
'Book of Yeezus' was put together by three entrepreneurial brothers with a special interest in mass-society and its effects on their worldview and imagination, they explained.
