Recently my GF and I returned from another trip - 3rd one this year.
We tend to stay at Marriotts to consolidate points. As most anyone knows who has stayed at a Marriott and many other hotels - they include a Bible, a Book of Mormon (in Marriott's case) and sometimes, other religious propaganda.
I'm curious what the forum thinks is the best way to deal with this unwelcome religious crap.
On our last trip, my GF wrote a note of warning and placed it in the Bible. She also took the BoM and disposed of it "safely" in a trashcan at the beach.
No intended discrimination between one crappy book and the other crappy book. It just worked out that way. One got the note; the other got the trash.
We had several conversations about it and I mentioned some of us devil-worshipers put warning stickers on the cover:

What does the room think is the best way to handle unwelcome propagandizing in hotel rooms?
Throw them away -- I like the idea of increasing the distributor's costs, even in a small way. If enough people did this, it could have an impact.
Stickers -- I like the idea of representing an opposing view point and maybe it will trigger someone to think for a moment. Maybe the viewer might look up a fact or two.
Leave them be -- Only recently, in my more anti-theistic phase have I considered taking action. Now, I consider these books toxic and they shouldn't fall into the wrong hands.
Complain to hotel management and ask for a bible-free room?
What do you do?
