Saw this while in a bookstore today.  I’m not giving an opinion either way with this photo, I just thought the classification to be interesting. addition: To answer some of the comments on the notes.  I would not expect the classification to be “Fiction” or “non-fiction”, I would have expected something like “Religion” or another classification. I do not believe when I say it is interesting I am giving an opinion on what I believe to be true.  Whether I believe it to be true, believe it to be false, or have no idea either way I can recognize that there are many differing opinions from my own.   What if I were to not believe but be interested in religious studies, how would I know to search in non fiction? Believe me I am not out to offend anyone or state an opinion on my beliefs.

    I’ll say it: There is no way this should be in non-fiction.

  5. dan-gerzone said: Interesting post. Saw a statistic that roughly 50% of people in the US are creationist and think the Earth was created 10,000 years ago. IMO, I think that religion and science should be separate topics, only the latter being compulsory at school.

    That bookstore should just have a religious section and be done with it.

    Wrong if put in Fiction, also wrong if put into Non-Fiction. Screwed either way :D

    If this is Indigo Laval, which I am pretty sure it is, its my store. Why would classification be “interesting”, please...

  16. coeurquisoupire said: But isn’t finding the classification to be interesting enough to take the picture actually giving an opinion? Don’t get me wrong though, I agree.
