Guess those old Bibles with the words that everyone (or at least some people) thought Jesus said printed in red have been replaced. The next Bible hitting the already overflowing hallowed shelves is green. In addition to being printed with soy ink, the verses where God says things about taking care of the planet will literally be green. We love the planet here at BC. We use CFL's and drive a hybrid but is it us or is the custom Bible market getting a little out of control. Highlighters people, just go old school and save yourself the $20. Heck, that way you might read all the verses to get to the ones that you agree with. We realize that context is a bore but we must insist on it. Here at BC, there are no moral ambitions lofty enough to justify out of context Bible verses. That's the standard, no exceptions, not even for the causes wih which we are deeply sympathetic.
