Super-lame because they're clearly just copying the meme that's been going around the internet for a while. If you're going to make that much extra work for the retail slaves, at least do it for something original.

Personally, I think the RHU book should be filed under Self Help :)

ugh, I HATE that shit too. Some twits have entirely too much time on their hands. And I dont have near enough time to waste cleaning up after you, jackasses. No one gives a fresh zesty fuck what your religious views are, as far as Im concerned thats as bad as those religious nuts who corner you and lecture you about their beliefs. Same thing happens alot in the Politics section too but they usually just turn the books of the opposing party around backward or cover them up with books from their own party. Gets very old, very fast.

It's rude as hell. Rude to the bookstore slaves, and rude to those who hold those beliefs. I don't care if you're an atheist, Orthodox, deist, Flying Spaghetti Monsterist, whatever - do your thing and let other people do theirs.

actualy followers of the flying spagetti monster are called pastafarians and their heaven has stripper factories and a beer volcano.

Boss Hogg, oh dear ... bad flashback, bad!

The problem with religious texts, no matter what your belief system is, is that none of them are truly fact or truly fiction, so they can't really accurately be filed under "Fiction" no matter how much people would like to see them there.

For the record, I'm agnostic and I believe that religious texts should have their own section separate from fiction because they are in tricky territory. I don't believe the fantastical parts of the religious texts (like Jesus rising from the dead) are real, but who's to say that Jesus the man didn't exist?

I don't think the point is to argue on who believes in what. But rather that it's a whole shit load of extra work for the booksellers to clean up after. Then if someone catches them shelves there and bitches about it there could be a HUGE problem brought up and customers lost because someone wanted to be cute.

Hell I am an atheist myself and still wouldn't do that. It's disrespectful to everyone involved and I haven't seen anyone religious messing with books on atheism lately :/ People who crap like that just makes everyone else look bad...One person can ruin the reputation of an entire group of people.

@ Token: at Barnes and Noble they had the sections "Christianity" and "Eastern religion" ect... separate from both fiction and non-fiction ;) on the opposite side of the store in-fact.

Doesn't change the fact that going into a bookstore and moving all the damn Bibles doesn't prove anything, to anyone. Nothing you do with them is going to convince corporate to change the way they're stocked. EVER. The only thing it accomplishes is creating a shitload of extra work for people who:

1) Have exactly zero fucking influence over where the store tells them to stock the books

and

2) Don't earn enough money to have to deal with smarmy douchebags who can't tell the difference between being annoying and expressing a personal opinion in an adult, intelligent and effective manner.

I agree with whomever said it should have its separate section. Included in the religious section should be Bibles, Korans, articles, whatever. Keep it in its section so that no one will be retarded.

I am an atheist and I would NEVER EVER EVER do something this stupid because I also believe in tolerance. If you chose to believe it, fine, just don't shove it in my face.

So they're only moving Bibles to the fiction section? I guess that means these idiots think everything else in the Religion section is true.

If they really wanted to aspire to cleverness they'd get one of the big "Fiction" signs and put it where the "Religion" sign goes. (Please, nobody actually do this.)

Actually Tom, there are records of Jesus Christ's life. It's his divinity that's in question, not his actual existence. :]

As a former bookstore slave I really hated that kind of thing.

Now I see this...
