Christian Fiction and Christian Fact

I was in a local Borders earlier this weekend browsing through the Religious History section when I heard the following conversation from the other side of the stacks where all of the bibles and other strictly christian works were kept:

Son: “Look, some idiot put a Bible in the Christian Fiction section.”

Mom: ”Oh, well you’d better put it back where it belongs.”

Son: “We should talk to a manger, tell them to be more careful when they shelve this stuff.”

Mom: “I don’t think it was the store’s fault.”

Son: “Yeah, you’re right.  People need to pay better attention to where they put books if they aren’t gonna buy them.”

They walked off to other parts of the store after that conversation, and I obligingly went over and returned a few Bibles to the Christian Fiction section where they belonged.
