Costco apologizes for calling Bible 'fiction'

Costco has apparently had a “Come-to-Jesus” epiphany.

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.”

WalMart == Costco

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 Costco, maybe even Costco 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!

The Minister who had first seen these Bibles and put the photos out on social media told Fox News he had received this apology when he appeared at 6:15 yesterday morning.

The MSM just kept this floating as red meat to keep Obamacare out of the news for another day.

You would not find it in the fiction section but in the occult section.

At least you moved from a simple act of labeling, which was not very astute of you.
one cannot take individual biblical quotes or passages and say each one is literally true,
The Bibles were labeled, not the passages.

But I thought you were a person of The Book?
Or does making a quibble, even in the defense of a store attacking the Bible, appeal more to you?
At any rate here is a link for you: Archbiship Fulton Sheen: difference between a bad man and an evil man.

Well then, that explains everything you've ever posted, doesn't it?.....LOL!

You've obviously never stepped foot in a Costco since doing so would likely require you to drive into a neighborhood vastly inferior to the one where you proudly drive your BRAND NEW JAG!

“Costco apologizes for calling Bible ‘fiction’. FYI.”

Makes it all better? I don’t think so.

I didn’t say it made it better. I pinged you so that you’d know Todd Starnes wasn’t “lying”.

Kind of like finding a Kenny G record in the Jazz section of your music store.
