So there is a new Bible soon to be released from Zondervan, who quite frankly need to give their heads [or their paws, badum tish] a shake. According to their press release, which is 100% legit

Doesn’t this also mean that its open season on any Bible I want? For anyone who likes this idea, could I not, by the very same arguments that created this bible, make my own bible called “The Cute Kitten Raptor Bible”? And inside would be 12 pictures of Kittens posing like Velociraptors, much like this one here;
Here would be my press release;

I would be all over a dinosaur bible! And when it comes time for noah’s ark, they can have all types of dinosaurs going two by two – and when samson fights a lion they can replace it with a raptor….and finally, instead of mentioning the leviathan… mention a t-rex!
