PETA to rewrite the Bible to make the Book of Genesis vegan-friendly

PETA has given the Bible’s Book of Genesis a “vegan” makeover, using ChatGPT to recreate the story and “broadcast an unmissable animal rights message full of vegan teachings.”

In PETA’s vegan version of the Bible, animals are referred to as “beings” rather than “beasts” or “creatures,” and plants such as hemp and bamboo are used in clothing instead of animal skins because “no one with a sense of fashion or morality doing so would wear animal skins in the 21st century.”

“The Bible has long been used to justify all forms of oppression, so we used ChatGPT to make it clear that a loving God would never condone the exploitation or cruelty of animals,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “It only took God six days to create the whole world, but we knew it would take us years to rewrite the entire Bible, so we only started with the first book.”

In Genesis chapter 22, Abraham travels to the land of Moriah, where instead of slaughtering a ram to demonstrate his faith, he “befriends a gentle lamb to show his reverence and respect for God’s creation.”

PETA said it hopes its “cruelty-free” version of the Bible will appeal to the 73 percent of Gen Z who reportedly identify as animal rights activists, according to the organization’s press release.

In PETA’s version of Genesis Chapter 21, Abraham and Sarah, who were 100 and 90 years old respectively when they conceived their child Isaac, also adopt a dog named Herbie.

“As they took Herbie for a walk, Sarah and Abraham thought about the importance of adopting dogs from shelters and rescue organizations rather than buying them from breeders,” PETA’s version said. “They talked about how buying a dog or cat from a breeder or pet store is contributing to the pet overpopulation crisis as countless dogs and cats wait in shelters for loving homes while breeders continue to profitably produce more puppies and kittens.”
