Awesome site that photoshops those creepy Japanese Christian signs to change the word “God” to “cat.” Pure gold:
The kingdom of Cat is upon us.
Cat will judge adultery and fornication.
You see, erasing part of the word “God” (神) in Japanese will give you the word for “cat” (ネコ).
Thanks to Marxy for the link!

I lolled.
By the way, one of those “best of 2ch” sites had a good thread where people parodied those Christian signs:

So I am to take it that the Maneki Neko in the AFLAC commercials was really supposed to be God instead? The duck hooking up with God is much better insurance than with some cat.

All those who do not believe in Cat will burn in hell.

Remember, DOG is GOD backwards, so the opposite of DOG is CAT, thus dogs are the spawn of Satan.
Remember, Dog serves Man, Man serves Cat….

Great!
BTW, there was also one of those signs located in “my small village” (Yoriiso, about 100 households) where i did fieldwork. I was wondering because there were absolutely no christian hoeseholds in Yoriiso. So i asked the major domus at the harbour where the sign was located and he told me that an American Baptist church is paying about ¥400000/p.a. for those signs. These churches are much too rich, i think.

Well, the obvious connection to make would be this one.

I forgot to post the link above, but for those newer to the site I did a profile of those signs a few months back:

My favorite Bible verse (Heb. 11:1) in LOLcat:
“Fayth be liek hopeen fr sumthn evn tho we is can not seez it (evn tho we be so gud we seez in teh dark).”
That’s kind of amusing, really.

See, I missed a lot of this in CATechism class.

Woah. One of my favourite Biblical quotes goes to this:
“Srsly moar wizdum iz FTL, k. Moar smartz, moar greefz.” (Ecclesiastes 1: 18)
FTL? Faster-Than-Light?

FTL = For The Lose, opposite of FTW (For The Win)
