I mean I'm agnostic so I don't hate Christians, but the feeling of being alone in a strange room with only a book that I find depressing is not nice.
However having a bath and turning on the TV helps.

Even more depressing if I am staying at a Travel Lodge.
Even the tea bags are no frills.
Edit>Years ago they were put in the bedside lockers as standard in hospitals.Very depressing if you were in hospital with depression.

For some reason, Christian feel that if you are in a hotel room you are depressed all ready and needing the word of god. How this helps I have no Idea. I just close the drawer and go check out the pool. If they have one.

properly i could say, one your staying at a Marriott because of the fact you're stealing the gideon bible,lol. 2 that's a mormon bible. 3 that's barely a sin in case you think and persist with that faith. If I fairly have an abortion, which may be annoying because of the fact i'm a dude, am I held in charge in yet another united states because of the fact's a criminal offense there. No. I do agree that this is wierd. the completed objective of christianity is to transform human beings to this faith. to instruct human beings the techniques of jesus and a fashion for them to get into there heaven. so which you will think of they could hand obtainable word of god at each highway corner. Why do no longer they, the money. If we supply stuff away for loose, we will not have funds to place the hot granite flooring interior the vatican, or Jerry Faulwell desires yet another billion.

Not really.
If I'm in a different state, or in Europe for that matter, and I don't know the television channels, then I read the Gideon Bible while I'm trying to get to sleep. I enjoy reading the Bible, it's a work of fiction I never cease to find interesting.

If you really prefer TV to the Bible, I feel sorry for you, agnostic or not. The Gideon might not be the King James, but it's still a work of the utmost cutural and historical importance, as well as religious.

They're pretty useful when you run out of Rizla and there's no shop around. The pages are really thin and allow for a perfect roll every time.

Yup.
But I stayed at The Inn at Harvard once and instead they had copies of the poems of Walt Whitman. Far more uplifting.
Also cable. Way to go.

It's better than being alone in a hotel room with Edith Whorton's "Ethan Frome."

I think if people need a Bible they can bring their own. I don't understand why hotels feel it necessary to provide them.

Interesting, though, that you even think about the Bible being there...most people don't give it a second thought.
Guess it's on your mind for some reason.....
