Costco Is Sorry it Said the Bible Was Fake

Sara Morrison

Costco has apologized to all of God's creatures for selling Bibles labeled "fiction," chalking it up to a mistake made by a distributor, who, unlike Jesus, was not infallible.

The error wasn't caught until last Friday, when a pastor (who also tweeted that he believes there was a second shooter in the Kennedy assassination) posted a photo of one of the offending Bibles:

Hmmmm indeed! The tweet drew predictable reactions from both sides of the argument and word spread (helped along somewhat by Kaltenbach calling Fox News contributor Todd Starnes to tell him about it), culminating in Kaltenbach having to talk to Elisabeth Hasselbeck in a special Fox & Friends "The Fight for Faith" segment:

In the end, Costco blamed an unnamed distributor, saying in a statement:

Costco’s distributor mislabeled a small percentage of the Bibles; however, we take responsibility and should have caught the mistake. We are correcting this with them for future distribution. We greatly apologize for the error.

And Costco representative Dusty Groves told ABC7:

Our CEO, he's a devout Catholic. He obviously loves the Lord. This isn't something that he is purposely trying to do. It was a mistake.

Hallelujah! All is forgiven:

Incidentally, Kaltenbach was at Costco in the first place to buy a jacket for his wife, since he "wasn't communicating with her in her love language very well."
