Costco Labels Bible as Fiction
-
Faith is an individual thing. If you don't have it, it's not my concern. In the end when you die, you are alone with your faith or lack thereof.

What the hell are you talking about Steve? I havent taken any history classes in college
Do you disagree with the fact that religion has less of an influence over society than it used to? You know how many friends I have that dont care about religion. You know how many engineering students I know that think that?
Here is a Gallop Poll about exactly what I was saying: http://www.gallup.com/poll/145409/near-record-high-religion-losing-influence-america.aspx
Religion is losing its influence in America. Christians arent being persecuted, they just arent always getting their way anymore

Great sample set...

Again you'll have some bias in the type of people reading the Gallup website.

Christians aren't persecuted and thrown to the lions. They just have to withstand a near constant barrage of people mocking their faith, ridiculing their religious texts and generally lumping them in the same boat as the WBC for abuse.

Religion/faith helps some people cope with the seemingly random craziness
of the world. To each his own. Whatever gets you through the day. If it helps
keep you from climbing the bell tower with a high-powered rifle, I'm all
for it. My problem with religious people starts when they insist on shoving
their beliefs in my face, even after I make it clear that I don't want to hear it.
From personal experience (my grandfather was a Pentecostal fire and brimstone
minister)I can tell you that many believers have equal contempt for non-believers.
So the view that "Christians are under attack and are being persecuted" rings a
little hollow for me. Christians in Egypt are being persecuted. Me telling you
I don't want to hear about or believe your religion doesn't equal persecution.

It wasn't until dawkins met his beloved wife Mrs garrison that he realized simply not believing in god was not enough. You had to be a total dick to everyone that does.

I don't think saying you don't agree with someone means you are being a total dick. Like I said, it all comes back to Christianity not having as much power as it used to in the US.
Idc what people do in their own homes or at private buildings. I don't want religion affecting public policy at all though because that affects me.

I have both friends who are religious Christians and those who are atheists. Both say the other group "persecutes" them. For me, they key is just to tolerate each other so long as no one is harming the other.
As for this whole bible thing, I've found most religious texts at book stores to be shelved under the heading "religion." It isn't rocket science, but I think shelving it under fiction is in poor taste, and I'm not even a Christian.

Cysko Is absolutely right. Part of Christianity is knowing that you will take s*** from the rest of the world because of your faith. If you don't doubt your faith who gives a rats ass what Costco does?
Somebody at Costco just thinks he, she or they are being funny by being assholes about it. That's all.
Not much different than woody.
Then again if you call him names and rail at him for his constant insults to Christian faith then I think you are missing the entire point of it.

Ps I am agnostic on my best day, a true lapsed Christian, so I can call him a d******* if I want to.
Cysko Is absolutely right.
I disagree. The proper label should be Religion. It isn't fiction, biography, auto-biography, science fiction, or anything else. Possibly if could be under self-help, just like any of the other self help books on the market. Can help those seeking the help, doesn't for those not seeking help.

Yes that is correct. What I agreed with is the fact that Christians should expect kind of crap from non believers. Not that the non believers are right. And I believe the people at Costco did this to insult Christians. I'd guess the New Testament would ask believers to pray for them and love them.

You really think Costco did this on purpose? You REALLY think they're trying to piss off a large customer demographic? What is the point in that? Or does it from that fantastical land where Christians are persecuted in America?

I think you've probably got some smart arse shelf stacker probably putting the books in the fiction section, just to try to piss off Christians, yeah.

Yep.
Otherwise they would have corrected the error the second someone mentioned it and it would never have been a news story.

It was probably the woodpecker on his summer internship.

1) lol, what a shit internship
2) I could see it being a lone guy
3) I don't see a company trying to piss off Christians. Sounds horrible for business.
