Costco -- the Bible is fiction | Fox News I have no opinion on this but does anyone have any outrage to share?
Unless you believe that god actually wrote the Bible, then it is indeed a form of fiction that has noble purpose. This store, not being a bookstore has no theology section, but is kind enough to make Bibles readily available, which is respectful IMHO.

NewsMax"We deeply regret the mislabeling of the Bible and meant no offense to anyone," the company wrote in an email to customers, Fox News reported. "The buyer has let us know that this was an error and the books are being pulled off the shelves to be re-marked."
In a separate statement to Fox News, Costco blamed a distributor who'd mislabeled a "small percentage" of Bibles before shipping them.
"However, we take responsibility and should have caught the mistake. We are correcting this with them for future distribution," Costco said in the statement. "All mislabeled Bibles were also immediately relabeled. We greatly apologize for the error."

What have they been "relabeled" to? Propaganda?

It is fiction. :shrug:
Look, I'm tired of people being all PC about this. Tiptoeing around the poor, persecuted Christians. As if they're made of glass and can't take anything that might be construed as negative about their religion.
It's not even negative. Look, Christians: there wasn't a guy who put two of every animal species on a boat during a global flood. The earth wasn't created in six days. The earth isn't flat. This is just reality. It's not an insult to your whole religion for me to say that. And you know what? Every Christian I've ever met is enough of an adult to hear me say that and not fall apart.
So, Jesus didn't exist?
There isn't a single contemporary eyewitness account of him, no. While there may have been an itinerant Jewish preacher at the time upon whom godhood was posthumously draped, the guy depicted in the Bible simply did not exist.

Outraged at the stupidity, perhaps.

Yes, a person named Jesus existed. Even the Muslims agree that Jesus existed.
