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?

In this remark, West frames himself through a biblical lens, arguing that scripture is populated by many flawed, vivid personalities—so a “modern Bible” would naturally include contemporary figures like him. The line blends provocation with self-mythologizing: he casts his public life as a kind of moral drama worthy of sacred narrative, implying that notoriety, contradiction, and even scandal do not disqualify someone from spiritual significance. It also reflects his recurring theme that modern culture (celebrity, media, music) functions as a quasi-religious arena where people seek meaning, heroes, and cautionary tales.
