Hey, Look, Now There Is A Green Bible
Just because, even though it is Monday, you haven’t said “are you #&^**@ kidding me?
In this day and age, you can buy a Bible aimed at almost any demographic imaginable.
There are Bibles for everyone from toddlers to teenage girls to recovering addicts. There are even Bibles on disc, narrated by James Earl Jones and Johnny Cash.
But it’s the recently published Green Bible that is causing a stir in the religious community.
Supporters of the book, which highlights verses related to what believers call “God’s creation” and his desire for humans to protect it, say they hope it will encourage more Christians, particularly evangelicals, to embrace environmentalism.
Now, there is nothing wrong with being green, in the old sense, ie, you enjoy the environment and want to preserve it, rather then todays “you must be carbon neutral to be green!!!!” followed by a good old Howie Dean scream. But, seriously, a green Bible?
But others fear the new Bible, which has been endorsed by secular groups such as the Sierra Club and the Humane Society, will mislead Christians.
“I am concerned that many who call themselves Christians, or intend to speak for Christianity, don’t interpret the Bible literally,” said James Taylor, a founding elder and Sunday-school teacher at Living Water Christian Fellowship in Palmetto, Fla. “These groups don’t have a religious focus; they have a desire to spread their environmental message.”
Hmm, so the green Bible is apparently not so innocent. And, yeah, the message put out in this Bible does rather distract from the Word of the Lord.

I have not seen it yet but your description makes it appear to be a bible in name only. Since most people are intelligent enough to know that I don’t see the problem. I read the DOS bible years ago and it did not lead me away from God. If there is versus that are misinterpreted then that may well be an issue.
