Costco labels Bible as fiction. Cue the Christian outrage!
What do the Bible, "The Hunger Games" and "Fifty Shades of Grey" have in common? All three are works of fiction, according to the booksellers at Costco.
Pastor Caleb Kaltenbach made that shocking discovery last Friday as he was shopping for a present for his wife at a Costco in Simi Valley, Calif.
“All the Bibles were labeled as fiction,” the pastor told me. “It seemed bizarre to me.”
Kaltenbach is the lead pastor at Discovery Church, a non-denominational Christian congregation in southern California.
He thought there must be some sort of mistake so he scoured the shelf for other Bibles. Every copy was plastered with a sticker that read, “$14.99 Fiction.”
Uh oh somebody needs to tell Sarah Palin about this. If she can get out a ghostwritten Facebook post on this in a hurry, she might be able to knock her book perhaps ten more slots down in the Amazon rating system before the end of the day.
Personally I have to really question the intelligence of anybody who reads the Bible and believes that it is literally a factual account of events that took place in the past.
Of course it's fiction, the only question remaining should be is is good fiction or bad?
I vote for the latter.
