Do Hotels In Your Area Still Have Bibles In Each Room?

In my home country (Malaysia), one can never find a Bible in hotels anymore. In the past, I know this was possible because my mum's first Bible actually came from a hotel in Malaysia. But now, I think one can get persecuted for putting such things in hotel rooms. Now that I'm in Australia doing my tertiary studies, I know that this practice is legal in Australia. This is because last year when I went to Melbourne with some friends for an interstate holiday, we stayed in a cottage-like motel by the road-side and in the rooms were a Bible. As me and my friends were all Christians, we were commenting on how things might be if the Bible was found in a hotel or motel room in Malaysia. Personally, I think it's a very good evangelistic way just putting Bibles (or Korans for the Muslims) in public places like that because people actually are curious to read stuff that are provided to them. Some people may be touched by the Holy Spirit while reading.

PS: I'm a Presbyterian too!

It have never been, and will never be bibles in motels and hotels in Norway.. I absolutely don't think they should palce bibles there, I don't think it's allowed here either..

Yes the hotels & motels carry a copy of the Bible in each room. I think it's a piece of Americana history to do this...I would miss it if it weren't there..Lori

I don't really make it a point to read the bible nowadays. I did read it when I was in first year high school and I read it from cover to cover. I studied it in high school and in college and I am pretty sure that I know the very important stories. It is not a big issue with me and I am pretty tolerant of bibles and other religious stuff as long as they don't get too aggressive about it.

Stay in a Marriot sometime. They have a Bible AND Book of Mormon.

wow, i am not sure, I don't even think i checked the last time me and my honey went to a hotel. that is a great question and the next time i am at a hotel with my hubby, i am going to check that out.

The Gideons placed bibles in hotels long ago. I think that a Holy bible should be in a hotel, not the Koran or any other religious book. The U.S.A. was founded on God and he blessed this land and we should keep that forefront. Religious freedom is accepted but our foundation is God.

Well, The U.S. was formed under Christian values,so is very normal to me to visit hotels and find Bibles,so I don't find anything ofensive whatsoever. I'm sure that in Saudi Arabia they have their Koran.

The hotels that we have stayed in do have a bibles, I have seen the book of Mormon and the bible, but never seen any other ones. Sometimes I don't even pay attention to see whether or not they have one. I agree with you. No one is asking anyone to read the bible. I wonder why there is a bible in each room? How did this come about?

I have been in different hotels but I have not seen they are placing bible in the room. But, for me, If ever they will, I will not be complaining about it too! It is with the person who stay to read it or not!
