As much as I love to bash religion, the atheists claiming that "putting a Bible in a hotel room is violating the freedom of religion" are stupid.

Putting a Bible in a hotel room is neglectable at best and slightly discriminatory at worst but you know, it ain't like they're forcing you to read it, shoving down your throat while reciting passages and badly singing shoddy off-tune Christian songs or any of that shit. If you don't want to read it you don't have to read it. If I went to a hotel and found one, I'd choose to read it for some laughs but I'd sure as hell not be forced to read it.


Thing is, if there's a religious doctrine of any kind in a room there should be ones of other religions just as much. Because, as it is a choice to read one there should be a choice to read others. An "all or nothing" thing, if you will. Don't forget science books as to get people actually using their brains.


But you know, that's just my bullshit opinions. Feel free to have your own and all.

It's not even discriminatory, they're putting them there because a christian org has set up a system to distribute them. There's nothing stopping any other group from doing the same.

Anyone who is offended by a Bible or Torah or Quran in a hotel room dont read it. Simple as that.

And what organization does that? Plus in some countries that would be illegal

Sounds like some countries got offended and did a little more than "don't read it"

There's a huge difference between Mein Kampf and a religious book.

I dunno, they both seem equally hateful to me.

Its a hypothetical. You can't argue that it isn't a real thing if its a hypothetical. It is, by definition, not real.

Mein Kampf is definitely hateful, but no religion is like that.

They're both books and can both be physically placed in a bedside drawer. That's as similar as they need to be for this scenario.

Have you read the Bible? Particularly the OT?
And don't give me the Council of Jerusalem shit, because like the Nuremberg trials, they didn't actually change the content of the book.

I've read it, and the Bible doesn't encourage genocide. Even the Old Testament isn't that bad.

Uh... yes it did. What do you think was happening when god killed all the first born, or when he ordered the Israelites to kill an entire group, including all the children.

I dunno, I think Jericho and the other native peoples of Canaan would like to disagree. Like, God kinda just said, "See that land? It's yours, kill everybody who lives there and take it"

Then you've drunk their vile kool-aid.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. Psalm 137:9. Genocide.

Especially apt on fathers day.
