So it's non-fiction...meaning factual?

So it's non-fiction meaning NOT fiction. You always seem to infer beyond the base implications. You are familiar with more than two categories of writing, aren't you?

Please don't try to answer a question I didn't ask. It's a simple question. Is the bible fiction or non-fiction? If you were a librarian, which of those two categories would you classify it as?

Yes, I'm reading your posts. But I'm not required to agree with them.

Sio, it's non-fiction. Here's the definition of non-fiction: "prose writing that is based on facts, real events, and real people, such as biography or history".

And I say bull toddy.

Here is the library classification - Nonfiction, Class B, Philosophy, Psychology, and Religion. It can be so frustrating dealing with ignorance (lack of knowledge).

So you believe that it's "prose writing that is based on facts, real events, and real people, such as biography or history". I understand your delusion.

Are you disputing the library classification you asked for? Do you think libraries credit delusions? Do you think at all about what you are writing or do you just rely on kneejerk denials and rebuttals?

I'd like to know the answer to the last question I asked.
