vegan bible by peta
Is PETA's vegan Bible barking up the wrong tree?

Does the Bible have too much animal sacrifice for your taste? The animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is cooking up an animal cruelty-free Bible with the help of AI technology.

“The Book: PETA’s Version of the Creation Story” is the “vegan interpretation of the Book of Genesis,” according to the group's website. 

The digital ebook is cheekily ‘bound’ in “vegan leather” and runs some 75 pages. This initial book only covers Genesis, although PETA reportedly has plans to veganize the entire Bible eventually.

This new vegan-friendly edition of the Bible has, somewhat expectedly, ruffled the feathers of some faith leaders, who say that God’s word should not be tampered with.

For PETA’s Sake

PETA is an animal rights group well-known for its controversial activism in service of protecting animals. More recently, the group has also gained a reputation for stirring the pot on social media.

A few years ago, they made headlines for a chart they created designed to help social media users remove “speciesism” from their speech, likening its usage to racist, sexist, or anti-LGBTQ speech: 

But this time it's not popular slang they're reimagining – it's the most popular book of all time. 

The Vegan Word of God

“The Bible has long been used to justify all forms of oppression, so we’ve used ChatGPT to make it clear that a loving God would never endorse exploitation of or cruelty to animals,” explained PETA President Ingrid Newkirk.

She says this new Bible will actually refocus the text on God’s love and grace, rather than His thirst for sacrifice and bloodshed. 

As it so happens, the group has been beating this drum for a while:

What PETA's Bible Says

So, what exactly has been changed? There are dozens of changes great and small in PETA’s new vegan Bible.

For example, animals are no longer referred to as “beasts,” but rather “beings” in this new version. Animal skins and leather worn by biblical figures are instead made of hemp.

But some changes are far more significant. Per the book’s product description, “among other new interpretations, in Genesis Chapter 22, Abraham travels to the land of Moriah and befriends a gentle lamb to show his reverence and respect for God’s creation, rather than slaughtering a ram to demonstrate his faith — much as human sacrifice, once a reality, is now outlawed all over the world.” 

Telling New Tales

Meanwhile, other stories have been made up entirely. In PETA's Genesis 21, Abraham and Sarah “add to their growing family by adopting a dog named Herbie.”

“As they walked with Herbie,” the passage reads, “Sarah and Abraham thought of the importance of adopting dogs from shelters and rescue organizations rather than purchasing them from breeders.”

As you might imagine, this interpretation isn’t bringing home the bagels for some Christian leaders. “You can’t rewrite the Bible by this kind of revisionism and then claim it is a biblical sanction,” argues Darrell L. Bock, a senior research professor at Dallas Theological Seminary. “It produces a fraudulent claim of divine sanction, making God in our image,” he says.

It’s worth noting that PETA is hardly the first group to reinterpret the Bible. There have been innumerable reimaginings of the Christian holy text, including the infamous “Jefferson Bible,” edited by US President Thomas Jefferson to keep all the moral messages but remove all supernatural elements.

Regardless of its content, the fact that this new version is being written with AI technology is enough to cause alarm bells for some. Just last week, we noted growing concerns about the potential ability of AI to create new religions. It would seem PETA is jumping on that train early. 

What do you think? Do you support PETA reinterpreting the Bible to be more animal friendly, or is it better to leave holy texts untouched?

    I fail to see the actual use of this rewritten Bible. Are people nowadays really this fragile? Everything needs to couched in language as inoffensive as possible? All the while lacking the grasp of the human condition that someone, somewhere will still be offended by whatever isn't supposed to be offensive?

    I dunno. Maybe people need to become adults. Live in the real world. Understand that everything isn't tailored for them. Accept reality as it is and move on. Don't expect to be pampered for life. I learned a long time ago how to blow things off. As long as it isn't actual, physical abuse just let it go.

      It has nothing to do with being fragile. It has to do with evolving standards of decency.

      1. Rev. Kev's Avatar Rev. Kev

        I understand that standards change over time. But that concerns the present. Why do people need to retcon ancient writings? Isn't that just trying to erase something some people aren't comfortable with?

        If people want to invent new stories where everyone is a vegan and wears hemp, why not just make up a totally new story? Because it's still the same fiction, either way. Just not messing with what many people consider sacred texts with theological points being made.

      I absolutely agree with Rev Kev. Grow up and STOP becoming a victim of wake-thought. Our God, gender unknown and unnecessary, loves each of us and only asks two things of His rather pathetic flock. First, have no God before me. And, second, love one another. That’s it! Simple and easy to understand.

      Admittedly I haven’t read many bibles, leather bound or paper, but I do embrace His love and pray this silliness stops so that people can stop cruelty. You are not a victim, you are a Child of God. Grown up and be the leader that we desperately need.

      The same sort of tripe could have been said regarding the slavery of humans. "Accept reality as it is and move on." As for your disdain for actual physical abuse, I hate to think of what would qualify in your mind. The abuse heaped on innocent animals for their skins is horrible. So are the various portrayals of animal sacrifice in the Judeo-Christian bible. Isn't having one's throat cut violent enough for you?

      1. Rev. Kev's Avatar Rev. Kev

        Ooooo. Slid in a slavery comment. Good job. 👍🏻👍🏻

        That comment is irrelevant regarding the context of what I wrote. What you did there is a logical fallacy known as appeal to extremes. It didn't invalidate what I wrote, and had no relation to what I wrote.

        What comes to my mind when I mention physical abuse are things like spousal abuse, sexual crimes, or beating innocent people up. Because I was specifically talking about human behaviour.

        Context is super important.

        Are other animals treated cruelly? Sure. Do some religions use animal sacrifice? Yes, again. Do I personally approve of it? Nope. But rewriting the Bible won't change either. In fact, it will be a lie to say they didn't engage in it to make it more palatable. I'd rather face hard truths than live in pleasant lies.

        The Bible contains a lot of violence against humans and other animals. Earth is not a pleasant place. I'm sure you've watched documentaries about nature. Animals, themselves, can be very cruel. They hunt and eat one another. For people who found themselves in a position where they are suddenly a helpless part of the food chain (being hunted by a hungry predator) that raw fact of nature becomes very clear.

        We can't change the past. Rewriting it won't actually make it any different or better. We cannot change the innate behaviours of animals. At best, we can strive to make humans less violent and prone to warfare and cruelty. Wars have decreased over time, and violent crime is down in developed nations. So that might be some progress. I fully support less wars and crimes of any sort. But none of that will be fixed overnight. If there was currently a way to do that (short of exterminating the human race in one swoop) I'm thinking we would've done it by now.

        I'm sure the world would be grateful if you had some constructive suggestions to that end. Indignation ain't gonna do it.

    At last count, there were over 700 versions of the Bible in English alone. 125 of them are still in print. This is what Christians do. If they don't like "the Word of God Eternal and Unchanging", they simply write their own version and start their own church.

      Don't forget those books that were excluded, I think maybe the Ethiopian bible might be the most complete to date, but I could be wrong.

      1. Adam Kahn's Avatar Adam Kahn

        Shalom.

        You are close to be correct. What is the Bible? The Bible is the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament is a translation of the Torah, Ketuvim, Neviim, and Tanakh (a.k.a. the Jewish Bible) minus nearly 100 texts that are still hidden from Christians. The New Testament also has nearly 100 texts missing and unavailable to Christians, because of the decisions of the leaders of the Christian Church. Interestingly why, right?

        Apart from that, all modern Bible translations are... slightly different from their original sources (from Latin, Greek, and especially from Hebrew and Aramaic versions of these religious texts).

        For example, if the modern Bible in 2Peter 1:19 says "the morning star (will rise in your hearts", then the original 2nd century AD 2Petri 1:19 (in Latin) had there the word "Lucifer (will rise in your hearts)".

        Compare it with Revelations 22:16, where Jesus openly calls himself "the Morning Star". There were only two entities with that name in the Bible. Because they both were literally doing the same (rebelling against, and accusing for wrongdoing, you know who). Good for them.

        But also (speaking of animal sacrifices vividly and oftently mentioned in the Bible, and, accordingly, actually coming to the Bible from the Jewish Torah), the Greek word for the religious sacrifices of animals (in favor of the Jewish G-d) is "holocaust". This word (in Greek) describes a very important and good deed to do for every religious Jew, the deed ("holocaust", or "animal sacrifice by burning") that pleases the Jewish G-d.

        But who are animals? To understand the real answer to this question we must proceed deeper, into the books of the Talmud. The passage from Yevamot 61a:1 states: "the Jewish people are called men [adam] but Gentiles are not called men [adam]". And another book, Keritot 6b 19-20 confirms it. The book Bava Metzia 114b:2 also says the same, again. Sounds pretty racist and outrageous, don't you find? Jesus thought exactly the same, that's why (it was actually only one of the several His big reasons) He was rebelling, and He was accusing, and He was right. But to be fair, I would restrain from calling Him as "Christian", He was not, not even close. Nor was He Jewish, by the way. But that is already for another story...

        Sadly, many modern people (especially between Christians) do not know anything of it, do not realize it, they even don't want to realize or know it. Do you know why? Probably, because something had been lost in the translation... Pure Truth shines bright and blinds those who come from darkness, they prefer dim candles instead... Well, it's their choice.

        And speaking of Ephiopians, historically they were one of the first Jews who began following the Torah. Mainly because of their conservativism, many of them refused and rejected the Talmud. Such approach between Ephiopians exists even now. That's why some religious (Judaic) Israeli Jews treat poor Ephiopians as subhumans, but such attitude already should not surprise you when you know better the Talmud (sepharia.org may also help you with that).

        Best regards, keep searching for the truth, LadyLucifer. You are doing good.

        @ Colleen McAllister. You have quite the collection of Bibles. Do you just read them? Or have you studied them? Have you done a comparisons of what is said in your 15 different Bibles? While you I’m sure you find a lot of good in the Bibles, don’t you find a lot of wickedness, death and destruction by God?

        1. Colleen McAllister's Avatar Colleen McAllister

          @DouglasRobertSpindler. I have read and studied my Bibles. I often compare versions to understand them better. I also have several commentaries. If you do so then you understand that even though different wording is used the meaning remains the same. When it does not I do extra research to find out why. There is one denomination that edited the Scripture to fit their own doctrines. I no longer own that one. Intelligent people take nothing at face value. My faith is in God not a book.

            @Colleen McAllister Sorry, I'm a bit confused. If the Bible is the word of God, and you put your faith in God why not God's book? With all of the Bibles you have, and the comparison you've made between the Bibles do you also do a comparison with the Oxyrhynchus Papyri?

          What you've said was incorrect. Yad Vashem and the International Institute for Holocaust Research (Israel) officially stated that the Nazis never had any "lampshades made of Jews", nor "soap made of humans". Never. All these multiple "blood-chilling" accusations against the Nazis were simply blatant Soviet lies.

          Therefore, it is generally highly recommended to study history using other sources (than Soviet/Russian deceivers). Instead, conscious and smart people should definitely use more credible sources, indeed.

Human animal leather was evil then. Nonhuman animal leather is evil now.

    3. Rev. Kev's Avatar Rev. Kev

      Ah, yes. Szekely. Quite a coincidence that he was a vegetarian and raw foodist, then would write of a Jesus who was a vegetarian. According to Szekely's book 'Essene Gospel of Peace', he was a descendant of Hungarian philologist and orientologist Sándor Kőrösi Csoma (although the latter never married and had no children). ["Kőrösi Csoma Sándor's Family Tree". www.geni.com. Retrieved 2017-10-26.]

      He claimed to have found and translated obscure texts for his "Gospel" while at the Vatican in 1923. When University of Lund theologian Per Beskow investigated Szekely's claims in Strange Tales About Jesus, both the Vatican and the National Library of Vienna denied that the original manuscripts existed. The Vatican also denied that Szekely had ever been admitted to the Vatican Archives in 1923.

      Richard A. Young has written:

      "Proof that Jesus was vegetarian is based on The Essene Gospel of Peace, which Szekely claims to have translated from an ancient text he supposedly discovered in the 1920s. Szekely alleges that this ancient gospel text is authentic and that the canonical gospels are forgeries. However, no one besides Szekely has ever seen the manuscript. This and other reasons prompt scholars to conclude that The Essene Gospel of Peace is a disreputable forgery." [Young, Richard A. (1999). Is God a Vegetarian?: Christianity, Vegetarianism, and Animal Rights. Open Court. p. 5. ISBN 0-8126-9393-0]

      As with the Book of Mormon, the source material that was translated has never been seen by anyone but the purported "translator".

      Also curious about his ability to translate several languages, such as Aramaic, Hebrew and Slavonic when there is no mention of such an education in any biography of his I can find. But that's more of an aside.

      Personally, I wouldn't take this text to heart.

    If vegetarian Roman Catholics have incorporated cannibalism into their religious practices, by eating actual parts of the body of their Jesus, ergo the the rest of us, who are not cannibalistic, are compelled to be tolerant of this practice, under the guise of religious freedom.

    After all, if the body of Jesus, is available for human consumption, aren’t all other animals susceptible to being cannibalized also?

    Google “transubstantiation” to find out how Roman Catholics actually turn bread-type wafers, into an actual (AKA, real) part of the Christian God’s son — commonly called Jesus.

    This is not symbolic cannibalism— it’s actual (real) cannibalism, whether you like it or not.

    To me it seems like sacrilege to change the word of God. The Bible was written by teachers of faith as well as ordinary people who were fortunate enough to receive the word of God directly. As for calling animals beasts. What were they supposed to call them? People looked upon them as a creation of Gods but they weren’t human hence why they called animals beasts.

    We have the wicked Bible, that’s been around for centuries. I’ve always been waiting for the porn Bible, but guess there’s so much sex and porn in the Bible already that’s what’s making it a best seller.

    I wonder if a Trans-Bible will be next?

    This was inevitable. Thanks PETA! (Not sarcasm. I bracket sarcasm with sarcastrophies ^^)

      @Thomas A. Follis The Bible has been rewritten many times. All one has to do is look at the Oxyrhynchus Papyri. This was the origin of the Bible.

    Any anti christ would be pleased with this boring assault on God. One thing worries me, you'd have to be pretty disturbed to actually do all the work required for a project like this. Like really driven by pure hatred for your maker. Feel bad for the fools.

      @ServantOfJudgement I hope you know the Oxyrhynchus Papyri is the origin of the Bible. And there are many Bibles that have been written since. Yes it's a larger project, Mohamad did it and so did the Angel Moroni. With so many profits and Bibles out there how do you know the one you are reading is the right one? And that you are not the fool? Could it be you are the fool for worshiping the wrong book?

      You have to be pretty disturbed to worship a deity who feels free to kill innocent animals. Talk about a nasty deity with an overblown ego. Come to think of it, that deity is pretty disturbed, too.

        Not just innocent animals, but innocent children of the first born, not to mention those babies, children, and pregnant women, who would have drowned…….if the Arc story was true. 🤷🏼

    Keep the Bible as is in the NKJV. I have a number of versions of the Bible and accept it pre Vegan whatever. Putting bubble wrap on isn't going to make it anything but cutesy.

  1. Thomas Tj Williams's Avatar Thomas Tj Williams

    How many versions of the Bible have been printed? How many times has the Bible been rewritten? How many times have you read any version of the Bible? May I suggest that we all find one that we believe in and read it. "P"eople "E"ating "T"asty "A"nimals P.E.T.A. What do they know about any Bible?

    I say thank you PETA. But my view of the bible, and other religious scriptures is simply one where they are a lot of good stories, mainly by people who wanted to promote their vision. I read between the lines of these scriptures.

    PETA have provide a good outlook in this and I welcome it, but I also adore what the Cherokee native Americans do, in giving thanks to tge animal for its food, thus allowing its Spirit to live on.

    Ya know, it never occurred to me just to rewrite the book of myths... I feel so stupid now. This whole time I could have made a fortune with the "Holy Beef". And in my version Jesus did not die on a cross, he used the wood and stone to build a bbq pit. Feed people loaves and fishes, no, he fed them t-bones and ribs. Hmmm, I need to start writing.... Peace ✌️
