@clacke @Sandra @noa I'd like to think that when God was giving his word, he would say "THUS ENDS CHAPTER 4. BEGIN CHAPTER 5. VERSE 1."

@Sandra @noa I just want to see and try reading it but the price tag is enormous for a bible with stuff taken out. I feel like an ebook would serve everyone well

@noa @Sandra like $170 for paperback copies also seems WILDLY expensive. I get it for the sexy hardcover. Maybe I'm just not the target audience, but if the target audience is separated by a paywall... I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@noa @Sandra it was pretty reductive, true. Is the main reason for the price tag just the materials it's printed on? Just seems like a huge price tag for an update to an existing translation of a VERY old book, esp. considering there is no other way to check it out. Not here to shit on it, for sure, it is definitely the most I've been interested in a bible for a LONG time haha

@clacke @dualhammers @megabyteGhost I can see that, that makes sense. Not necessarily veganism itself but the tech bros trying to solve the problem

@dualhammers @megabyteGhost can you elaborate? Curious what you mean by this

@megabyteGhost @dualhammers the difference between this and other ideas being discussed might be that the topic being discussed here and the two topics brought up in the replied post are kind of against the core ethos of the instance. Explicit rules in the CoC re: animal suffering and also a general ethos of anti-techno-solutionism. It’s a little like going to a vegan co op and saying you’re considering eating meat. Might just be the wrong place if you are looking for unemotional discourse

@megabyteGhost @dualhammers obv things like cancel culture vibes, doxxing, etc. are different than an emotional response in the context of my last post, but I would view those as well outside of the actions and general ethos I’ve seen on this instance (CoC: three points of communication, etc)

@megabyteGhost @dualhammers that being said, I have been overall very happy here with difficult subjects. That people are emotional is not a bug but a feature. It shows they are passionate. Also, how someone reacts is not about you, it’s about how they feel, either about the topic at large or in the money. I know if I talk about religion, I get emotional VERY fast (grew up in evangelism, bad times), but talking about it is necessary for me and I appreciate the patience of those I talk to about t
