This is a normal post When I was teaching I asked a kid with Asperger's to go and find me a book about planets or something

He went off to find it, then poked his head out from around a shelf of books and said,

"Hmm, interesting to see that all the books on religion are in the non-fiction section".

To us, it's ironic. I just wonder how religious people deal with the cognitive dissonance.

This is a normal post Books *about* religion are correctly filed as non-fiction
- in much the same way a book about Shakespeare's dramas isn't fictional.

Most bookshops file actual sacred texts in their own category. Libraries usual follow the DDC, which puts religion in its own category.

Sorry, dull. I'm a devil's avocado.

This is a normal post I think the approved method is
1) Close eyes tight shut
2) Place the palms of your hands snugly over your ears
3) Sing LALALALALALALALALALALA at volume
