A few years ago, I found a used condom under my bed at a Best Western. There was poop on it. Since then, I choose not to let my imagination wander.

British hotelier (can you be a 'hotelier' if you run a hotel anywhere except Britain?) exchanges trash fiction for trash fiction. Seems like a lateral move.

Bibles in hotels are for those who need them period, there are many confirmed stories from people who were going to take their lives and didn't because they read a Bible in the room they planned on ending their life.
Just one example.

That's what the National Suicide Hotline number is for. Maybe we just put this number on a bookmark for 50 Shades of Grey.

Blue berry muffins would be my choice. The only reason to continue to put bibles in a hotel room is because it is a tradition. There not being read by anyone.

Yeeeeeeeeh.....that's why. That maybe one of the canned responses you've been programed to give by the people running your show but what its really all about is slathering this holy clap trap into every nook and cranny they can get it. Make it so you can't swing a dead jew on a cross without hitting some sort of advertisement for your babble.........slowly drip by drip peck,peck,,peck,,peck,,peck,,peck,,peck, into peoples little pee brains. Same thing with school prayer, its not about the christian kid saying a prayer (i'm sure their indoctrination is being taken care of) it's about making the other ones hear it or aware of it....or ashamed or belittled for not participating it.......and repeat and repeat and repeat.

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

What I stated is true, whether you care to believe it or not doesn't change the facts, your opinion does not rule the day deary. The Bibles are there for those who choose to read them, no one forces a person to read them, it's a non governmental place so we have the right to put Bibles there if we have the permission. Seeing how most hotel chains are owned by Indians they must believe there is an advantage to having them in the rooms. You know if it were me having a complaint about what's in the rooms it would be bedbugs.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Just curious, but what does them being owned by Indians(also do you mean Native Americans or Indians) have to do with anything?

50 shades is an utterly vile self mutilating piece of shit that doesn't deserve to be correlated with kink in any way whatsoever. So yeah, better than the Bible still. I love blueberries
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
