Intention to submit the Newer Testament about 2019 HOT 4 OPEN

Each verse in the output is currently a modified version of a verse in the input. I tried using a per-word markov chain, but that produced rather terrible results, as you'd expect. And I tried a per-verse markov chain, but pretty much every verse is unique, so there was only one path through the chain.

Currently, I take each verse, assign a theme (which is just a suitably uncommon non-name word that appears in it), and train the Markov chain based on sequences of themes. There are enough common themes across verses that that mixes up the input nontrivially, but a verse is a large enough chunk to keep things locally sensible.

I did in fact make 50k words. I wanted better, but it's at least more interesting than for a in $(seq 1 50000); do echo "word!" >> book; done.

Will it be based on the bible but with nonsense sentences, or something resembling the bible with sense?

I love that you have stretch goals :D

I see your repo was updated until Nov 25th, but no output? Did you make 50,000 words?
