Costco Apologizes For Bibles Labeled As Fiction At California Store

[Incorruptible]

All religious nonsense should be in the Fiction section.

There, happy?

No, You didn't actually mention the other religions. You atheists always do this, specifically target Christians viciously yet for some strange reason they're silent when it comes to the other religions. This is double standards and hypocrisy.

 

[sandorski]

Probably just a labeling error. Rather humourous though.

 

[Retro Rob]

That is indeed the common sense approach.

Costco still rules.

Yeah, no problem with Costco. After all, the preacher and his followers are making this out to be some form of blasphemy.

I wonder about the strength of their faith if little stuff like this shakes them.

 

[hal2kilo]

Hold on there is an actual plan to how books are organized at Costco?

I was thinking the same thing.

Exactly. If you are so worried that your money machine Holy Book is threatened by a label on it, how much confidence do you really have?

Well when someone is stupid enough to post a thread about how Islam is the religion of peace, I'd be happy to tackle that one, too.

Hindu thread? I'm there.

Judaism? All over it, bro.

I like your pissy cop-out though. BOO HOO STOP PICKING ON ME

Did you ever consider that people pick on Christianity so often because it's the most prevalent in this part of the world or that the forums that you read are most often violated by people stupid enough to declare their love for Christianity?

You fools make yourselves targets.

Now man up and answer my question. Do you believe that the bible is a fictional book of allegory or are you a literalist who believes that noah actually had two of every animal on the planet in his little boat?

 

[ThinClient]

if theres no evidence, its fiction.

Gravity is a theory but has way more data to back it up.

Evolution is a theory.

Religion is a hypothesis.




:twisted:

Well seeing as if Darwin's name has been invoked, it seems to lead to the question of whether or not his works would be just fine sitting along side the bible in the fiction section, grey areas notwithstanding.

Actually, that is just all in your head because you are feigning victimhood non stop...

No, Look at all the attacks on Christians yet they refuse to do it to the other religions. War on Christmas, Piss Christ and obama saying the US isn't a Christian nation.

Meanwhile, back on topic. Have you been to Costco to check out the other books yet?

America hates muslims way more than it hates, Christians, calm down.

 

[Incorruptible]

Many Americans hate Muslims which is a bad thing but there is more hatred towards Christians now and especially on the media.

Muslims are a more pressing concern than Christians, but you'll all be driven into the shadows eventually. :thumbsup:

If Ann Coulter's books can be sold as non-fiction, surely the Bible can be as well.

 

[Agent11]

Buddhists. Baha'i. There are some others.

Um, Buddhists have quite the history of warfare as well, and some rather recent massacres.

 

[Exophase]

I don't think religious texts should necessarily be called fiction regardless of their accuracy. I would reserve that for works that deliberately and knowingly came from one author's (or one group of directly collaborating and contemporary authors). Biblical scholars do suspect some of the Bible to fall under this category (eg. book of Esther) but I think a lot of the other claimed history wasn't really written this way. More likely it was based on oral tradition crudely communicated and changed over several generations.

Again, not saying I think this means the accounts are true, just that it should fall under a different classification.

There are also some books of the Bible that don't attempt to be accounts of anything at all, being more books of advice or insight. You probably wouldn't consider self-help books to be fiction either, even if they're bad advice.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Religion, with your help, we can find a cure.

 

[SlickSnake]

Because there is a history of people going after the Bible and Christianity. It only happened to the Bible and not the other books.

And you know this how?

Because he put the price tags on there, DUH!

 

[SlickSnake]

Hold on there is an actual plan to how books are organized at Costco?

I was thinking the same thing.

And I was thinking: The people who work at Costco can read?

Labeling the greatest story ever told as fiction? Seriously, Costco? :\

So....... it should be in NON-Fiction?

BWHAHAHAHAHA.

 

[JulesMaximus]

The fact that it is considered non-fiction proves how much power religion has. Honestly, it should be in with books like 50 Shades of Grey.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Well first of all, that is not true, but assuming for a split second that it is true it doesn't help that you motherfuckers are always trying to weave your religion into our government. I'm fine with Christians and Christianity but keep it the fuck out of government.

 

[SheHateMe]

A stack of bibles can keep the fireplace going strong for hours. Also make great doorstops and paper weights.

Well seeing as if Darwin's name has been invoked, it seems to lead to the question of whether or not his works would be just fine sitting along side the bible in the fiction section, grey areas notwithstanding.

There is more than enough evidence to pull Darwin's evolutionary books out of the fiction section and into the non-fiction section.

Evolution is entirely undeniable. Literally mountains of evidence. An entire globe full of evidence proving it true.

The Bible? Haha, fat chance. The only thing the Bible says that can be accounted for are things like names of dead people and names of ancient cities. Hardly proof of anything. It also makes wildly impossible claims, like the story of Noah.
