Bad form or LOL? Costco labels Bible as fiction.

It's just a guy blogging so it's ok that it's Fox News.

Personally I find it funny. The guy mentions that it's in the same section as Hunger Games and 50 Shades and I thought, of the 3 only 2 of those are actually humanly possible.

What else would you expect from Costco

[Zanchief]

Hilarious?

[10sun]

None of the above.

Appropriately labeled.

[Gypsiyee]

^--what he said.

[Harrison]

Yeah, bigotry is only cool if it's against something you don't like yourself. Everything else is bad.

[brinstar]

are you suggesting the bible is fact? if you want to make the case that there should be a religious text section i'd probably agree, but don't call it nonfiction lol

and fwiw i didn't see any bigotry here, except in maybe zanchief's post. is that what you're referring to, or am i missing something?

[Harrison]

Dogging on someone's beliefs and/or belief system is bigotry.

Calling it fictional, is exactly that, an attempted assault on someone's beliefs.

Saying it's anything less than that is disingenuous at best.

[Zanchief]

Cool beans, let's let barnes and noble know they need to relabel all the battlefield earth books.

[Ganzo]

It was all fun and games but you are now being insulting Zan, that book does not belong in a fiction section and you know that perfectly well.

[Harrison]

Hey, like I said, bigotry is only cool if you're on board with it, right Zan?

i've never been to costco so i don't know the extent/variability of their book sections

but in the absence of any categorization beyond fiction/nonfiction, sorry dudes but the bible goes in the fiction section. would you all be as butthurt if the quran or the BG were in the fiction section? somehow i doubt it

for the record i identify as christian

What makes it non-fiction or Children's (the other Costco categories)?

I'm open to you helping me understand.

But please, differentiate The Bible from The Iliad?

[Drem]

hahahahahah

[Ganzo]

I moved it our of religion forum because this is not a religion discussion but a group of dissrespectfull assholes trying to see who can be funny on the internet.

Please continue being douchebags here

I suppose when you want to present logic to undermine someones religion it's ok, Ganz, but when we do it it's disrespectful douchbaggery.

Funny, I think that's a hypocrisy on top of a hypocrisy.

[Harrison]

LOL CHINESE PEOPLE

[Harrison]

Wait, wrong form of offensive bigotry? It's hard keeping up with what's acceptable.

[Jay]

Ganzo I know how you feel man. You think it's wrong that the bible is labeled fiction rather than religion and that it's disrespectful. I think this thread should be labeled holy discussion rather than cap's alehouse and I feel your pain now. These guys just don't get it bro.

[Zanchief]

LOL CHINESE PEOPLE

Well if you said Chinese people are stupid. That's bigotry. If you said I don't like some specific factually relevant thing that is happening in China, that is not bigotry. You get it? This is not an issue of bigotry at all.

[10sun]

So by this response I take it you cannot explain why The Bible should be non-fiction any more than The Iliad.

Makes sense to me.

Way to represent your beliefs by calling people disrespectful assholes rather than ignoring them.
