A Simi Valley pastor discovered earlier this week that his local Costco slapped “fiction” stickers on copies of the Bible on sale at the store.

Atheists, of course, were thrilled, as David Limbaugh predicted.
I don’t know if this is a company policy, nor if this was a mistake. What I do know is: Atheists should be pleased http://t.co/dx4kYlkzZD

"Costco apologizes for California bible flap" where Bibles had "fiction" on the price tag. WHY WOULD THEY APOLOGIZE? http://t.co/oSfoqkea5G

The triumph of the intolerant was short-lived. In the wake of criticism, Costco has now apologized and announced steps to correct the labels.

It should be duly noted that protests and criticism of the gaffe were made by peaceful and non-violent Americans exercising their free speech rights. Here’s a good question:

So: Can you imagine if Costco had treated the Koran the same way?
I read on @FoxNews that @Costco has Bibles in the Fiction section. They would catch all hell if they labeled a Koran as fiction!

Does @Costco label the Koran as fiction? If it did there would be major hell to pay. Fix it #Costo before you have bad times.

Unfortunate timing, indeed.
Oh @Costco why do you wage war on Christian customers by labeling Bible as fiction? Just in time for #Christmas! Smart.
