The Big Box Stores Are Hard On Sacred Texts

A pastor is outraged to find the Bible listed under 'fiction' at Costco:
“All the Bibles were labeled as fiction,” said Kaltenbach, pastor at the nondenominational Discovery Church. “It seemed bizarre to me.”
That's nothing. I once found Darwin's "Origin of the Species" on the remainder table at the Bullhead City, AZ, Wal-Mart:
The checkout clerk thoughtfully paged through both books, looking with particular interest at the illustrations in Darwin's book (reproductions of the originals). She said, with what seemed to be a bit of disdain about the laborious process involved, that she doesn't read much: in fact, the only book she reads is "The Bible." She said that she gets all her information from TV, since there is way too much reading involved to get information off the Internet, and that she has trouble even reading employment application forms.
