I used to watch a lot of those sword and sandal Bible movies when I was a kid. I found this one to be a bit slow. I was more into "The Ten Commandments" and "King of Kings."
If the only options for categorizing the Bible are fiction or non-fiction, there's no rational basis on which to decide where to put it, because it has major elements of both in it. Many of the people, places, and events it mentions are known to history from other sources, so to that extent it can't be fiction, but it also describes many events, like the two creation stories in Genesis, that we now know are not true, so to that extent it's fiction. That's why in all book shops there are other categories than just fiction and non-fiction, not everything falls neatly into one or the other. In fact most things don't, the "Fiction and Literature" section in the Chapters and Coles shops I frequent occupies a small fraction of the floor space and there are dozens of other categories. Costco, however, is not primarily a book shop, it's a discount bulk goods shop and the book section of every one I've ever seen is a relatively small part of it and it's not divided up into labelled sections, it's just a bunch of tables with books all over them. There's some structure to it, the cookbooks are all in one place, current best sellers are all together, children's stuff is all together, and so on, but it's not organized like a book store or a library because that's not what it is. I'd bet the low level part time functionaries charged with putting the price labels on books had a very limited range of price stickers to choose from and didn't think much, if at all, about what they were doing, they just used what they had available. To think that this means Costco itself thinks the Bible is fiction is just dumb, this is a storm in a tea pot.
If you actually want to get a deer, yes there is. They're very wary and not easy to get, you have to know what you're doing or you'll fail.
since the bible has, turning water into wine, turning people into salt, parting of seas, talking bushes and snakes, the dead escaping sealed caves, etc., I would say paranormal/supernatural stickers would be more appropriate. 
So does Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander. But nobody has a problem putting it in fiction.
Being offended by burning the Koran isn't an argument against burning it.
I'm a big supporter of Israel. A great country; the only democracy in that part of the world, surrounded by barbaric medieval Muslim nations that need to be wiped off the face of the planet.
There's Blackloaf's philosophy in a nutshell. Brits and Christians should be protected from offence, and Brits' and Christians' right to offend anyone who is not a Brit and a Christian should be protected and promoted.
I've never read Fifty Shades of Grey, but I know what it's about.
Too right. It's about time we got the same protected species status that the Muslimes enjoy.
As I've already pointed out, the Bible is considered to be a work of non-fiction.
Have you ever wondered why people are getting in a flap over the morons at Costco labelling it as fiction? The reason there is such a flap is because the Bible is NON-fiction.
No amount of whingeing will change the fact that the Bible is considered to be non-fiction and that Costco should not have put it in the non-fiction section.
The funny part is that you presumably have read the New Testament, yet you have no idea what it's about.
And also time that "protected species status" was removed from all who are not British and CoE. You've made that abundantly clear.
I've read the Old Testament as well.
I want attacks against the British and the Church of England to be as non-PC as attacks on Islime.
As for the non-British and non-Church of England, what people say about those peoples and religions is not my problem.
You support official, legal, mandatory discrimination against anyone who is not British by citizenship, English by parentage, and CoE.
Not that I have a problem with that, mind. I just want folks here to be clear on your positions.
You support official, legal, mandatory discrimination against anyone who does not fall outside the WASP male section of society.
Not that I have a problem with that, mind. I just want folks here to be clear on your positions.
Seriously? "I know you are, but what am I?" is your response?
I rather suspected you had the mind of an eight-year-old, and a not particularly bright one at that. Thanks for confirming.
You do realize that the opposite of that is already being forwarded, right?
