    Good! I always have been freaked out by those Bibles in hotel rooms!. . and I am a Christian!

    No need to attempt to "brainwash" people who are just looking for a good night sleep!

    Bible in hotel room should be outlaw in EVERY state! If one is interested in Bible study, one can go to church. Most of us only one a good night sleep. . not indoctrination!

    Nope. The topic is about hotel rooms but thanks anyhow. I also believe it is the New Testament that is being placed in the rooms so once again wonder what chapter the hate they fear is found in.

    I don't see how Wikipedia supports your belief when it says right out that complete bibles are typical of what is placed in hotel rooms.

    I have as much interest in finding a Bible in a hotel room as I would finding a porn story! I don't go to a hotel to be brainwashed or "excited," I go there to find peace, relaxation, and a good night sleep! Finding a Bible in a hotel room (any hotel room) is ALWAYS a negative . . .I don't need to be reminded on how to speak to my maker, or how to talk to him. . .that comes naturally, and doesn't need "brainwashing instructions!"

    How would you like to find the Koran in your hotel room? I wouldn't!

    So having the desire to explore the bible, which requires finding which drawer it may be sequestered in, removing same on your own from the drawer and selecting a page to read.....................by your definition is an attempt to "brainwash". Speaking of which, yours could use a good cleaning as evidenced by your grammar and inability to communicate in English.

    "this can either be the full Bible (typical of the copies placed in hotel rooms)"

    You're right, I did miss that part - my apologies. Rooms I've been in only had a New Testament - in a corner of non threatening drawer beside the local take out and delivery menus.

    No need for Bibles in hotel rooms. Also, this is Penn State we are talking about, the university that covered up years of child molestation by various staff members. That's like having a Satanist in charge of the Bingo game at a Catholic festival.

    How funny! I guess if you were to communicate in French, you would have no issues with French grammar? Well, dear, I am a French speaker, and i dare you to write and communicate in French as well as I do in English?

    It is also funny that you can't go beyond the "spelling" mistakes and actually address the meaning.

    You may choose to be focused on man-made dogmas. . .and I choose not to be!

    So funny! :roll:

    I take my own Bible with me wherever I go. That way I avoid having to depend on handouts from motels. Doesn't everybody? Or should I say, doesn't everybody who has any interest in reading the Bible in a motel room bring one with them? Good lord, are you afraid of the extra baggage charge at an airport?

    Donc le fait d'avoir le désir d'explorer la bible, ce qui nécessite une recherche qui tiroir il peut être séquestré par la suppression même sur votre propre du tiroir et la sélection d'une page à lire ..................... par votre définition est une tentative de "cerveau". En parlant de ça, la vôtre pourraient utiliser un bon nettoyage, comme en témoigne votre grammaire et l'incapacité de communiquer en anglais.

    easier then keeping a library of every book in every room, but your right... I would just let guests bring their own, it's not the govs job to supply people with religious reading materials

    Does that mean that they'll have the Koran available in memory of Jerry Sandusky ?

    think both religions have their child abuses....

    how old was Marry when God got her pregnant and than lived in her private parts for 9 months? (12 or 13 years old, just a child)

    why could not both religions wait until the child was an adult?

    but regardless your only proving the gov should not be endorsing either of those religions

    Should we not allow religious texts in public libraries? It is a silly position from my viewpoint. Wouldn't bother me in the least if they had a religious text of another religion instead of the Bible. The secular humanist war in the Christian religion is the least humanist political fight I can think of.

    But that was the Old Testament, when human sacrifice was a common practice among pagans. People even threw their first born into the fire to appease some angry (demon) god among other things. The belief that there was one Creator who was moral and just, was a definite development and progression from paganism.

    It was important that the Jews would not fall back into their old ways and practices, that's why God presents Himself so harshly towards pagans. The New Testament was an even further development from the Old Testament.

    No. I read James Patterson novels too. That doesn't mean I carry one with me everywhere I go.

    Why? Is it in the drawer yelling at you keeping you awake at night? Why would a book in a drawer you don't need to open be a negative?

    You live for the day when everything is state-run. It's your dream! -- admit it.

    Ask them in the former USSR how that worked out.

    Um, no. I do not.

    If it helps, I'd suggest privately operated hotels provide better reading material as well.

    God was changing... or the people were upset with the current religion (Judaism) and were looking for a new religion, a part two of the current religion worked for many, they would of believed anything, Christian, Muslim, you name it... as long as it was not as cruel as the current God they believed in, even if it was only believing that God had become a better God
