After all it is Costo, they are nothing more than a glorified wal mart.

Owned and founded by a liberal dipsh*t. Even the current president is the same. They knew what they were doing.

The national warehouse chain has apologized for labeling Bibles in a Simi Valley, Calif. store as fiction, calling it an error that they are working quickly to correct. We deeply regret the mislabeling of the Bible and meant no offense to anyone, the company wrote in an email received by several customers. The buyer has let us know that this was an error and the books are being pulled off the shelves to be re-marked.

Can you but just one Bible at CostCo or do you have to buy them in bulk?

Unless they seek forgiveness from God they are still going to Hell.

Wonder what would have happened if it was the Koran. Bet a Muslim employee put them there.

I’d be tempted to pick up a few Korans and put them over with the bulk packages of toilet paper...........<>P
Ought to go over well............
To: Lonely Bull
At the most optimistic, it might be labeled "non-fiction", but I don't think it meets that criteria.
It is at best a series of essays supposedly written by different people and a recap of legend by....somebody(ies).
To: MamaB
Yeah. They are just sorry they got caught. Bingo.
And extorted apologies are worth less than garbage.

The problem is not Costco.
The problem is a people who believe the Bible (the Word of God) is fiction. To the President, to most of the rulers in Washington DC, to most of the people in America. They don't read the Bible. They don't believe the portions that are quoted to them. They live like God has not given us His Word and that we are not accountable for our actions before the Thrice Holy Creator who sent His only Begotten Son to be our Lord and Saviour.
God is long suffering, not willing that any would perish ... but there comes a time when their will be an accounting.
2 Peter 3:9-13 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Labeled as fiction. Not the first time:
While Catholics believe the Bible is inspired by the Holy Spirit and that it is true, one cannot take individual biblical quotes or passages and say each one is literally true, Pope Benedict XVI said....In his message, the Pope said clearer explanations about the Catholic position on the divine inspiration and truth of the Bible were important because some people seem to treat the Scriptures simply as literature, while others believe that each line was dictated by the Holy Spirit and is literally true. Neither position is Catholic, the Pope said.

They knew what they were doing.
You so politically addicted that you actually believe what you typed?
If the President and the others you are referring to "knew what they were doing", they wouldn't have been so quick to offer an apology would they? Just let it drag out for a while and create a controversy then offer an apology.
This was clearly a mistake by the company that creates the labels for attachment to the books sold by WalMart, maybe even WalMart themselves. But it certainly isn't an attempt by the company to disparage the Bible itself or insult the Christian community who shops there...........
Get a life!
