I don’t think there’s much middle ground when it comes to Kanye – you’re either a big fan or you think he is a douche of the highest order.

We’ve brought you such pearlers in the past as Kanye imploring some wheelchair-bound kids to stand up at his concert, and we all know the backlash that accompanied his attack on Beck after this year’s Grammy Awards.

Now to be fair the singer himself isn’t responsible for what you are about to see but it isn’t too much of a stretch to believe he would nod his head in approval. We give you The Book of Yeezus, described as follows by Mashable:

The text, described by its creators as “an interventionist art, coffee table novelty,” takes the Book of Genesis and replaces every mention of God with “Kanye” or Yeezus”, attempting to answer some big questions along the way…

The Book of Yeezus, which is bound in a black, gold leaf-imprinted hard cover, also contains a foreword that ruminates on the “religion and spectacle of media icons in the 21st century” and attempts to dissect the significance of all things Kanye.

What makes us think Kanye might be giving the creators of the modern day Bible a high-five? A few quotes of his below:

I am God’s vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.

The Bible had 20, 30, 40, 50 characters in it. You don’t think that I would be one of the characters of today’s modern Bible?

The media crucify me like they did Christ.

You can grab your own copy online for about R250 which, as Kanye would no doubt tell you, is worth every penny.
