Caleb Kaltenbach will at the very least be
changing supermarkets.
A few days ago, Kaltenbach, who is a pastor at
the nondenominational Discovery Church went to do his shopping
at US supermarket chain Costco in Simi Valley, California, and saw
something that really did not sit well with him.
He came across a number
of copies of the Bible in the supermarket’s science fiction section.
“Each copy had a sticker that said: “$14.99 Fiction,” Kaltenbach said.
The pastor claims he made several attempts to
speak with the store managers but had no luck. He decided to take a
photo and publish it on Twitter.
“People are pretty shocked and upset,” Kaltenbach
said. “We are supposed to be living in an era of tolerance, but what
Costco did doesn’t seem too tolerant.”
The pastor added that no one is
forcing Costco staff to believe but they should respect those who do.
The book could have been labelled as “religion”.
Kaltenbach said the store never apologised and its
executives did not wish to comment on the incident. They just put it
down to a “human error at the warehouse.”
