Why do they have a bible in hotel rooms?

[look out piano]

Maybe some folks that check into hotels are perceived to need some moral guidance or whatnot.

So you can write 'turn to page 357' on page one
then 'turn to p734'
*turns to p734 'turn to p205'
*turns to p205 'turn to p922'
*turns to p922 'turn to p500'
*turns to p500 'nosey kernt'

Childish

I always draw a cock n balls on the front page. (With spunk shooting out obviously)

As much as im not religious if this is true its f***ing diabolical of you to be honest

These are put in there for people of faith to take comfort while away from home

Not all of us have the same beliefs but theres no need to mock others for theirs, each to their own is my take on life.

People tend to go to a hotel to commit suicide so their loved ones don't find them, very sad.

I'd be surprised if the percentage of the guests who would read it will be anywhere near 1% let alone 20%

This is my point. Why do they bother anymore?

 

[FootballFan]

Tradition I suppose.

Why do we bother with the Royal family?

If I’m checking into a hotel (not work related) my moral compass is already pointing the way

Still, in this day and age.

@ProfessionalMackem is it so they can use it for electronic surveillance?

To repair the bed when the leg falls off after headboard banging sex with yersell or a. n. other

I don't believe they have any right to attempt to foist their beliefs on other people by leaving their propaganda in hotel rooms. Any I find go straight in the bin. I consider myself to be protecting the next occupant.

We'll I might be in there after you so don't chuck my free bible out, I don't need your protection thanks
Its a little book in a drawer we never even use, leave if as a choice. One I never use but don't see why others should be denied an option. If you must hand it in at reception for the duration.

There is no evidence Bibles in hotel rooms prevent suicides.

Is there evidence that it doesn’t?

I wonder what the percentage of people on here is that have actually read the bible or do read it.....I bet the percentage of people on here who cant read is higher judging by some of these comments

When people hit tough times in life that book can carry comfort, solace, faith and hope.......To think there are actually grown men who think its funny to draw a cock and balls on the bible is mind boggling. Would you think its funny if someone done that to a loved ones headstone or something that was deeply important to you......SAFCS badge at the SOL for instance

I like to write a nice little dedication on the frontispiece, something along the lines of thanks for picking up my book, hope you enjoy it, God. PS - the stuff about loving one another? I really really f***ing mean that. Focus on that.

 

[Lankester Merrin]

I always thought Gideon was a prolific, if forgetful, hotel user.

I always assumed that the Gideon's were militant atheists who having dedicated their lives to hiding all of the worlds bibles in hotel rooms

I tend to go to a hotel because I'm on holiday or away for work.

No mate, I haven't.

I meant I've still got mine
1st year seniors I got it

I'm more likely to see it in the bin
Who looks in draws in hotels ?

I once read an article about a major hotel chain in New York that had at least 1 suicide a week in their hotel....very sad indeed

Can't really compare it to the badge at the stadium. I wouldn't give a fuck if someone drew a cock and balls on the badge in a programme mind

Me. I check every drawer to see if a previous occupant has left anything

Only on the 1st page. If I had more time, I'd make a type of flip book, where jesus is knocking one out all over Mary's face.

I found a 2 year out of date blob once. Think @tunstall birdman had been there first.
