Like those chocolates they put on your pillow sometimes, you aren't expected to suck them for a bit and then spit them out are you?

Yes, you can take them to home. Just let the people in the front desk know. Gideons will replace them. : )

I took the "Teachings of Buddha" from the last American Hotel that I stayed in. Techically, I guess I stole it, but it was so much more interesting than the Bible in the room, that I could not resist it.
I justified it to myself by telling myself that I was being charged an exorbitant fee for the room, which was probably true in this case.

If it offends you to have them in your room, throw them out in an outside trashcan or the dumpster. They have no right to place bibles in rooms used by people of many or no faiths.
There is no law under which you can be prosecuted. If they try, it will lead to ACLU and supreme court involvement.
That would be a good thing.

I don't know if the Gideons place them for people to take home - but I doubt anyone would get in trouble for taking one. It would just be replaced.

The Gideons place them there for the purpose of (hopefully) leading ppl to a saving knowledge of Christ, & if you need to take it home to study it properly, then so be it. They just replace it.

Actually, yes. The gideons would be quite happy if you took one of their bibles to use as your own personal bible to start on a relationship with God.

The Gideons would love for you to take it and read it. So would I. You'll be reading the greatest book ever written.

Oooooo I think I'll take it next time I stay in a hotel!
But wait... won't the hotel charge me?

Yes.
Most Bibles placed in hotels tell you that you are welcome to take the Bible with you.
If you tell the front desk that you plan to take it, they have a supply available to replace it.

Never leave a room without one.
Good deed for the day.
