Travellodge remove Bibles from rooms in case they cause offence

We continue down the slippery slope. I don't believe in the Man in the sky but I m not bloody offended by Bibles who the fuck would be?

Pathetic.

It was only a matter of time with that though.

If prayer was taken out of mainstream schools decades ago, then Bibles were not going to last iin budget hotels  ;D

Do they have a pointer to Mecca in the rooms now?

Often it's a sticker in a desk drawer with "Qiblat" written on it.

Look out for it next time.

TBH it's about time Atheists started taking offence to the idiocy of religion. I could interpret it as insulting to my intelligence to see a Bible next to my bed, or some compass pointing at the shithole that is Saudi Arabia.

This is such a travesty, anytime I stay in a hotel I always make a point of spending 4 hours with the Bible, my stay is ruined without one.

That's not the point sausage, if I see a Bible I go yeh whatever and look for the latest edition of MMA monthly, but a bible doesn't OFFEND me. This is more pandering to the pandered ones of peace.

Bingo!

The blind faith that something does NOT exist is every bit as dogmatic as blind faith that it does.
