The guy gets points for creativity, but still . . . Why? I'm hoping this is some kind of brillant satire.

Baby Got Book

I call Satire.
I mean...SRSLY.
Actually though, it brings to mind a skit some kids at our Church did one Christmas.
A Parody of Dire Strait's 'Money For Nothing' about baby Jesus.

It doesn't surprise me that he's a christian rapper (i didn't listen to his stuff but he seems to be hiphop affiliated), most rappers are christian, the rest islamic. It does scream satire though, Baby got Book? Worst ever, i highly doubt he even likes sir mixalot, for the same reason rappers don't like Jay Z. He shoulda been something like Chris-T, Public Seminary or The-2-christ-crew or Sav-La-Soul

I'm quite sure this is the real deal. Making spoofs of existing pop-culture material and using it to promote Christianity is nothing new. I used to go to Christian bookstore back in the States that had a whole rack of T-Shirts which showcased spoofs logos and brands to change the message to a Christian one. Harley Davidson would become Heavenly Divine Son, Reese's would become Jesus and so on.

That being said, I kind of liked this spoof.

Although more humor comes from another spoof of this song. There used to be a site called Objective: Christian Ministries which earned much props for extreme roflage. The site has now been replaced by a singles dating page, but the Internet Archive strikes back!

You see, OCM had printed the lyrics to a song called Baby Got Baptism which is a song that speaks out against baptising infants. (I was baptised as an infant, I'm Catholic.) Anyway, I guess the folks at OCM were so thick that they couldn't see the fact that the song was in fact a spoof of Baby Got Back because when they themselves found out that there was a song called BabyGot Book, they got royally pissed. They attacked Baby Got Book claiming that it had stolen from Baby Got Baptism and was quick to point out that both songs had the line "me so holy". And there was much laughter.

Pop culture is a danger to religious extremism. So the religous extremists try to infiltrate it or adapt it for their own goals. The results are rather humorous at best. I heard there is a christian bible quiz game for PS2 ?

Christians need to understand that any game dealing with the Bible is boring as hell.

UNTRUE. The Bible had some awesome gore, sex, and downright twisted shit. Someone could totally pry some shit out and go for world class smiting. However it's been years since I quit church so I can't remember off the top of my head.

Someone's linked to http://www.thebricktestament.com/ before, and were someone to make a video game/movie/comic that actually touched on something like Judges or Leviticus and Numbers, it could easily reach Adults Only / NC17 / X status, with parents groups calling for the director's head for actually depicting what's inside.

Also, Linky that has Seanbaby reviewing/cataloging several of the 8 and 16 bit brethren: http://www.lyberty.com/games/oldschool/bible_games.htm And one for Bible Adventures.

After going through a bit of the brick testament, a lego game of the bible is definitely needed.
The game will play like Lego Star Wars, with the hardcore bible setting... That would be awesome.

And you go around hurling stones at adulterers, homosexuals, and false prophets? Throw in copious amounts of Lego blood and you've got me sold. Unlock the secret character Yahweh, and torch the sinners and heretics with the fiery wrath of God!

It would be awsome if you had a sin bar under your health bar, and various acts would increase it. The people there would urge you to do one thing or another, and if you accept the wrong one, your sin bar increased. After it hit max, you get some awesome large-scale god punishment.

I loved smiting the crap out of the population in the old Populous games. In Populous 1 you could progress up to the middle ages with castles and all, so I guess that makes it an christianity-themed god-game. Populous 2 was completely greek mythology based, so that doesn't count and Black&White doesn't even come close...

Although it's fun imagining god attaching the learning leash to jesus, teaching him the food miracle because his stupid-ass followers go "we need food!... we need food!.. we need food! .. ... death.. death... death" all the time.

One of the sins can be placing your vibrating controller between your legs during the intense vibration in the 'parting of the red sea' scene.
Although one where you play as Jesus might be cool. You know, going around doing cool shit and miracles and stuff.

If they featured it at the boston or SF diocese they wouldn't need to change a thing. Jack Thompson would be all over it.

Oh, lordy, don't I wish (the making Battle Pope part, not the ~~anal~~ beanie babies part). Battle Pope is an actual comic by Tony Moore, the guy who did the art for Walking Dead and some other good comics. It's fairly hard to find (the website I bought the first three compilations from appears to have dissapeared), but if you can find them, they're well worth the effort.

EDIT: Nevermind, here it is, although it looks like the first one is out of stock.
