evidence: Man Who Published Kanye West Bible Replacing 'God' With Rapper's Name Hits Back at Critics As Sales Soar (Exclusive) The man who co-wrote a novelty Bible that replaces the word "God" with Kanye, in honor of iconic rapper Kanye West, says his book is not intended to offend Christians but rather to provoke thought and broader discussions about faith and culture. [...] The book, which is described as a "Bible for the modern day," replaces every mention of God in the book of Genesis with the rapper's name but the author insists that it is not intended to mock Christianity. He said the purpose of the book, which retails for $20 via ETSY, is to "make people think," particularly during a time when more and more people are becoming obsessed with celebrity culture.
